Dental Implants: Restoring Confidence, One Smile at a Time

Used to replace lost teeth, dental implants provide stability for dentures and bridges, preventing discomfort or shifting during eating or speaking. Unlike traditional methods, implants don’t require adjacent teeth alteration for artificial tooth placement.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials such as titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They serve as a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth or dental prosthetics, including crowns, bridges, or dentures.

All-on-X (All On 4 ) dental implants offer a game-changing solution for those seeking full-mouth restoration without enduring the inconvenience of living without teeth. This innovative technique utilizes a minimal number of implants to support a fixed dental prosthesis, typically four to six per arch. With the option of “Teeth in a Day,” patients can leave the procedure with temporary restorations, ensuring they don’t have to live without teeth during the healing process. 

Wisdom teeth extraction is a crucial procedure to alleviate pain and prevent potential dental issues. Our experienced team specializes in this process, ensuring patients receive skilled care without financial burden.

With extensive expertise, our doctors perform wisdom teeth extractions efficiently and safely, prioritizing patient comfort and well-being throughout the procedure. We understand the intricacies involved and tailor each extraction to individual needs, minimizing discomfort and complications.

At our practice, we are committed to transparency and fairness. We adhere to the suggested fee guide for wisdom teeth extractions, ensuring that patients receive high-quality care without overpaying. Our focus is on providing accessible dental services, making expert extraction accessible to all who need it.

Gum Grafting

For patients experiencing gum recession, gum grafting procedures offer relief from associated issues like tooth sensitivity, gum tissue damage, and potential bone loss leading to tooth loss. By safeguarding teeth and roots from decay and creating a more uniform gumline, gum grafting can significantly improve oral health.

Crown Lengthening

Addressing concerns such as a “gummy smile” or the need to repair teeth broken at or below the gumline, crown lengthening reshapes gum tissue or bone to expose more of the tooth surface. This procedure facilitates decay removal or crown placement.

Pocket Reduction Surgery

For patients with periodontal disease, pocket reduction surgery is a standard treatment. By eliminating bacteria from pockets and tartar from tooth roots, this procedure halts further bone and gum tissue loss.

Unlocking Healing Potential

• What is it? Concentrated form of platelets and growth factors obtained from your own blood.
• How it works: PRF is rich in fibrin matrix, enhancing tissue regeneration and wound healing.
• Applications: Dental surgeries, periodontal treatments, facial rejuvenation, orthopedic procedures, wound healing.
• Advantages: Longer-lasting effects, better wound healing, reduced risk of infection.

For patients with complex tooth extraction cases and dental implants, we offer various sedation options to help make it more comfortable.

Guided surgery represents a significant advancement in modern dentistry, offering a range of benefits that enhance patient outcomes and experiences. By utilizing advanced technology, such as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and computer-aided design (CAD) software, guided surgery provides unparalleled precision, accuracy, and predictability in dental procedures.

One of the primary advantages of guided surgery is its ability to streamline complex procedures, reducing the risk of errors and complications. With the aid of 3D imaging and virtual planning, dentists can precisely visualize the treatment site and create a detailed surgical guide, allowing for precise placement of implants and optimal restoration of function and aesthetics.

Guided and navigational surgery systems enable us to perform procedures with pinpoint accuracy, minimizing the risk of errors and ensuring optimal outcomes for our patients. By incorporating AI into our diagnostic process, we can analyze data more efficiently and identify potential issues early on, leading to more effective treatment plans and better patient outcomes.

Bone grafting is a procedure used to replace and regenerate lost bone in the jaw. This can be necessary due to various reasons such as trauma, disease, or tooth loss. Bone grafting materials can be sourced from the patient’s own body (autografts), from a donor (allografts), from an animal source (xenografts), or can be synthetic (alloplasts).

An oral cancer screening is a crucial part of your dental exam and should be performed annually. During the screening, your dentist will visually inspect your oral cavity for any discoloration of the gums and palpate the tissues in your mouth. They will also technology to detect any abnormalities that might not be visible to the naked eye.

We understand that each patient is unique, and their dental needs require personalized attention and tailored solutions. That’s why we have invested in state-of-the-art technology such as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), intraoral scanners, guided and navigational surgery systems, and artificial intelligence (AI) tools to diagnose and plan our procedures with unparalleled precision.

CBCT allows us to obtain detailed 3D images of the patient’s oral structures, providing us with invaluable insights into their anatomy and allowing for precise treatment planning. Combined with intraoral scanners, we can capture digital impressions of the patient’s teeth and gums quickly and comfortably, eliminating the need for messy traditional impressions.

Maintaining good oral hygiene is an essential part of any dental care plan. Our dentists and dental hygienists offer dental hygiene services customized to your needs

Preventative care is simple when you see your dental hygienist according to your patient specific needs. Regular appointments with our dental hygienists can result in:

• The prevention of oral disease
• The prevention of tooth decay
• Reduced risk of periodontal disease
• Screening for oral cancer
• Overall physical health promotion

To combat gum diseases, scaling and root planing procedures effectively remove dental tartar from tooth surfaces and eliminate infected tooth structure, smoothing root surfaces for enhanced oral health.

Complete oral rehabilitation often necessitates regenerative procedures to restore both function and aesthetics. These may encompass Hard or Soft tissue regeneration, tailored to individual needs. Our proficient doctors conduct thorough assessments utilizing 3D reconstructed CT scans, intra oral pictures, and clinical examinations to determine the most suitable approach.

Hard Tissue Regeneration:

• Socket grafting
• Alveolar Ridge augmentation
• Direct or Indirect Maxillary Sinus Lift
• Ridge Split Bone augmentation
• Various other bone graft procedures tailored to each case

Soft Tissue Regeneration:

• Periodontal flap surgeries
• Guided tissue regeneration
• Connective Tissue Grafts
• Free Gingival Grafts
• Tunneling procedures

What is Sinus Augmentation?

Sinus augmentation, also known as sinus lift surgery, is a dental procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars. This procedure is commonly performed to increase bone volume in the posterior maxilla, particularly when there isn’t enough bone height in the upper jaw or when the sinuses are too close to the jaw for dental implants to be placed.
