- VeneersPorcelain Veneers are thin layers of porcelain custom fabricated for each patient to alter a patient’s smile. They can be used to change color, shape, texture, length, width and tooth position to achieve a new look during smile design. They can also be used to replace teeth that are cracked, broken, chipped, discolored or worn.
- CrownsCrowns (caps) are typically made over a period of several visits, usually two. Computer assisted dentistry called CEREC allows us to make crowns in one visit. The tooth is prepared in the normal fashion then a special blue H.D. light camera is used to take a picture of the tooth. The Doctor and staff design your new tooth in front of you and send it by blue tooth to a robotic mill that makes your crown in 5-10 minutes.

- Root Canal Treatment...I did not experience the pain nor the discomfort that one would normally expect, while undergoing dental procedures. At the conclusion of this session you declared that the “heavy work†(i.e. surgery, extractions, root canals, implants) was completed, we were now in a position to proceed toward the office motto of creating a “Beautiful Smile†for me.
- Periodontal SurgeryI didn’t take care of my teeth and gums, as I should have growing up. As an adult, I’ve needed extensive dental care. The restorative treatments (implants, crowns, bridges, periodontal surgery) I’ve received at the office of Dr. DiFusco have been of the highest quality. I’ve got my dental health back and, cosmetically; my smile has never looked better. The comprehensive hygiene program provided by his office helps me keep it that way.
- DenturesImplant Dentistry has evolved over the past 30 years to become a very predictable tooth replacement alternative. In many cases, dental implants are the standard of care for a specified dental problem. A dental implant is essentially an artificial root of a tooth that can be utilized in a multitude of ways to restore a mouth. Implants can be used for a single tooth replacement, to stabilize dentures, as well as full mouth reconstruction. Please review the video for more detail. My staff and I have been placing and restoring dental implants since 1983.
