Implants

When a tooth is lost, an implant is the best substitute. A dental implant mimics the

form and function of a natural tooth, which consists of a root and a crown.

What is an Implant?

A dental implant mimics the form and function of a natural tooth, which consists of a root and a crown. The crown is the visible part of your tooth. The crown is attached to the jawbone by way of the root. When decay has gone deep enough or when a periodontal disease has advanced enough to warrant an extraction, the entire tooth, root and all, is taken out. The dental implant is a titanium "root" that gets fitted into a socket that we create in your jaw bone. Once the titanium "root" heals, we place a crown on top. The new crown is customized to match your bite and the color of your teeth.

Implants: Next Steps

If an implant is selected as the treatment of choice for you, we will discuss which specialist to refer you to to place the implant. This is a surgery that requires several months of healing time. We can make a prosthetic temporary to wear during the healing process. After the healing process is complete, we will take impressions and fabricate the permanent crown to attach to the implant.

Veneers

A crown, otherwise known as a cap, is custom-fitted to your bite and is placed over your natural prepared tooth. We do most crowns in one visit using state-of-the-art Cerec CAD-CAM technology. This makes the procedure more convenient for the patient because there is only one visit, no impression, and no temporary crown. It also gives the dentist more control over the final restoration.

Veneers

There are many reasons why someone would need a root canal, some worse then others!

Large cavity that affects the nerve

Infection inside of the nerve, can cause infection in the bone surrounding the tooth

Trauma to the tooth which causes the nerve to die

Crack that is so deep that it affects the nerve

Internal or external resorption of the root
