Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning

Restorative

• Crowns
  At some point, the prognosis of "saving" teeth with root canals, posts and cores and crowns doesn't make sense when weighed against a full arch restoration on dental implants. We understand patients don't want to spend years rehabilitating teeth with traditional dental restorative methods only to have those restorations require replacement at some time. Given the over 30 year track record of success with some of the first dental implants, a full arch-supported set of teeth on dental implants actually becomes a significantly more predictable plan for the patient. A full arch prosthesis can be built off of as few as 4 or 6 implants depending on the case.
• Bridges
• Dental Bonding

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Dental implants have now been utilized for over 30 years and have a proven track record as the most successful tooth replacement option, typically exceeding the life of a traditional dental bridge, root canal or crown.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  If your current denture is a good fit, but unstable, it is likely that your denture can be retrofitted to the implants, eliminating the need for a new denture. If your current denture is not fitting well, it is likely we will suggest that your dentist make you a new one in conjunction with your new dental implants.
• Overdentures
  This will include a customized treatment plan and 3D CT analysis. If you do not currently have a dentist, that is ok, we will help coordinate your treatment with a dentist in your area that has successfully treated such cases with us. If you currently have a denture or are not opposed to a denture-based solution, visit our page on the Implant Overdenture.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  If you have heard of or have investigated low-cost mini implant solutions, be aware there could be issues with long-term stability and cost you more in the end. At this time, mini implants have not been shown to be effective as long-term solutions. We certainly place mini implants but do so in conjunction with a larger more traditional implant geared to last your lifetime. If you would like to schedule a consultation to discuss your options, schedule a consultation.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  At Tri-State, we have the ability to administer multiple forms of anesthesia. If you are having oral surgery in Cincinnati, Ohio, Northern Kentucky, or Southwest Indiana, you want to work with board-certified surgeons you can trust.
• Jaw Surgery
  With all the preoperative planning, years of orthodontics, and healing time of surgery undergoing a jaw surgery can often be an exercise in patience. However, as jaw surgery in Cincinnati, OH, Hebron, Ky or Cold Spring, KY tends to be significantly life-changing, our jaw surgery patients tend to be some of our happiest.
• Maxillofacial Surgery
  Matthew F. Pagnotto DDS is a Diplomate to the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and currently holds specialty licenses in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Ohio and Kentucky. Dr. Pagnotto completed four years postdoctoral training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Cincinnati. He obtained his dental degree from the Ohio State College of Dentistry in Columbus, Ohio.
• Tooth Extractions
• Bone Grafting
  The words "bone grafting" sound intimidating to most patients. In reality, the materials nowadays are so advanced that the bone we are using is typically out of a bottle and works extremely well.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Modern orthodontics have significantly lessened the number of patients undergoing jaw surgery. However, there are still many patients that the need for surgery is clearly identified. These patients will often undergo the surgery for a multitude of reasons but often include improvement of sleep apnea, function, and facial cosmetics. These surgeries require a consultation which includes a review of orthodontic records, a 3D CT, and diagnosis and treatment planning. Our surgeries are often digitally planned in an effort to improve accuracy not gained by benchtop measuring methods. Preauthorization through medical insurance is also typically required.
• Braces
  Occasionally, a permanent tooth may be displaced in the upper or lower jaw bone and not be able to erupt correctly into the mouth. This is often identified early in development by the patient's dentist or orthodontist. The treatment for a tooth failing to erupt into position is the bonding of a chain or button to the tooth and allowing the orthodontist or dentist to "pull" the tooth into the correct position with the assistance of braces.
