Implant Retained Dentures

Immediate Load Implants – Another Option

In addition to traditional implants, we are also happy to offer our patients All-on-4™ immediate load implants. With this option, you will need only four implants, which securely hold permanent dentures in place that never need to be taken out. And the best part is that you can arrive in our office with missing or unhealthy teeth and leave with beautiful, functioning teeth – all in the same day. The use of four strategically positioned implants allows for very strong support for your new teeth. Immediate load implants can withstand pressure immediately without having to wait for the bone to heal around it.

In the past when a patient lost teeth through trauma, disease, or extraction and opted to have dental implants, they would most often need to be referred to an oral surgeon. The surgeon would place the implants and send the patient back to the regular dentist to have the teeth placed on the implants. In our practice, we can place the immediate load implants and the teeth in a single visit. And the patient doesn’t have to endure six months of having a space in their mouth.

Great Ways to Improve Your Smile # 6

Implants
Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. Surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. Made of titanium and other materials, implants are designed to hold restorations like crowns or bridges blend in with your other teeth, and are a long-term option for restoring your smile.

Braces
While orthodontic work that begins while a child is growing helps produce optimal results, that doesn’t mean that adults can’t have braces. Thanks to advances in orthodontic treatments, metal brackets are not your only option. Removable aligners, or invisible braces,î or clear plastic brackets can all be used to straighten crooked or crowded teeth.

Dental Sealants For Children

Preventing Child Tooth Decay – the Easy Way!

Even with careful brushing, some of the grooves in the back teeth may be missed. As acids from foods continue to feed and build up bacteria, plaque and tartar will form on teeth. This leads to decay, and any amount of decay requires a restoration of the permanent damage.

There is a quick and easy preventive treatment that will lessen the chances of cavity development. This is how it works:

• Each tooth is cleaned and then sterilized.
• A thin coating of a mineralizing sealant is applied to all tooth surfaces.
• A curing light bonds the coating to the teeth.

There are no shots given or drills used and no removal of tooth structure. It is just that easy! Children and teenagers can keep their natural teeth for a lifetime.

Great Ways to Improve Your Smile # 4

Bonding
Not happy with the way your teeth look? Bonding may be the answer. For some, it can help restore the natural look of your teeth. Bonding is a process where the dentist attaches or “bonds” materials directly to your tooth. Your natural tooth enamel and dentin are fused together with bonding materials such as porcelain and resins to create a strong structure that looks great.

Dental Treatments for TMJ/TMD

TMJ/TMD – Proper Bite Alignment Treatment Helps You Say ‘Goodbye’ to Headaches and Jaw Pain!
If your jaw and teeth do not settle into the position nature intended, you may experience such symptoms as headaches, shoulder and neck pain, and aching or popping jaws. A dental malocclusion can be corrected to give you a proper bite and let your teeth rest in the correct position to let the muscles around the jaw relax.

Although you may have become accustomed to living with discomfort, your quality of life can be greatly improved with the proper bite. Our doctors are among the handful of dentists who have been trained in the exciting new field of neuromuscular dentistry. If you have sought relief with other health practitioners and have not had results, you will be happy to eliminate your pain and discomfort with techniques that have helped hundreds of patients with the same problem.
