- Veneers– Gums, like teeth, often benefit from cosmetic treatments to address esthetic concerns. These may include asymmetry in the gums, gum recession, and “gummy smiles”. The gums frame the teeth. Without proper shape and form, new crowns or Veneers can just look bad no matter how gifted your restorative specialist is. Many times, excess gums can remain after orthodontic therapy resulting in outwardly very small, unaesthetic teeth. These issues can be resolved to produce truly outstanding, great looking teeth.
- CrownsCrown lengthening is a simple procedure that exposes more of a tooth’s structure for either cosmetic reasons or to prepare a tooth for the placement of a crown. The process involves recontouring the gum tissue and, when needed, adjusting the support that holds the tooth in place to expose more of the tooth.
- BridgesImplant supported bridges are used when three or more adjacent teeth are missing. The two outermost missing teeth are replaced with dental implants; these implants are then used to anchor a porcelain bridge. Implant supported bridges are functional and esthetic, and typically last longer and feel more natural than traditional bridges.
- Root Canal TreatmentDental implants are titanium posts that integrate into the jaw to support tooth replacement. Success rates with dental implants are typically greater than 95% to 98% and, because they’re not subject to root canal or decay, they can remain functional for over 20 years.
- Periodontal SurgeryAn exam with x-rays and consultation ranges from $135 to 250.00. Implant therapy: fees can vary greatly dependent on the current status/needs: $2100-3000.00 not including the tooth replacement from your dentist around $1800-2000. Periodontal Surgery: fees can vary greatly dependent on the current status/needs: $850.00-2800/ quadrant. Soft Tissue Surgery: 500-1000.00/tooth.
- DenturesAll-on-4® implants are a unique solution that allows qualified patients who are missing all teeth on the upper, lower, or both arches to replace their missing teeth using as few as four implants as anchors for prosthetic teeth. Patients who choose this procedure appreciate the realistic look and feel of the finished restoration when compared with dentures.
- Dental ImplantsDental implants are the best solution for simulating the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. They also help maintain your bone structure, provide the ability to chew healthy food, and give patients the confidence to smile proudly. With dental implants, existing teeth are protected as well by providing additional support and prevent tooth shifting.
- Oral Surgery
- Gum SurgeryWhile no gum procedure can be considered permanent given variation of patient presentation and medical background, it is very effective at resolving gum recession.
- Tooth ExtractionsDuring your dental implant surgery, your mouth will be completely numbed with local anesthesia so you won’t feel any pain while we work. Dependent on your particular needs, different levels of sedation drugs can also be utilized for relaxation purposes. In the hours after the procedure, as the local anesthetic wears off, you will begin to experience some discomfort. This is typically mild and most patients describe the recovery from dental implant surgery as being less uncomfortable than the recovery from a tooth extraction. We will provide you with aftercare instructions to minimize any discomfort.
- Bone GraftingThis patient came to my office with cavity-riddled teeth supporting a failing bridge. Through advanced implant techniques involving bone grafting, implant surgical guides, and refined prosthetic techniques, the patient was rehabilitated functionally and esthetically.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsHaving a screening evaluation for potential issues present before orthodontic therapy starts can avoid serious issues including tooth loss. This is especially true for adult patients having tooth movement with conventional orthodontic or Invisalign- type tooth movement.
