Dental Implants

Our dental clinic is fully equipped with the latest technology for those patients seeking implant dentistry. The procedure itself is typically painless and can be done in less than one day. Of all options to replace missing teeth, dental implants are the most durable and are proven to last the longest. In some cases, implants can also provide excellent support and stability. 

The process of receiving a dental implant requires a number of visits over several months. If an implant is right for you, X-rays and impressions are taken of the jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant. The implant will be surgically placed into the bone while the area is numb. Then, to allow the bone to heal, it will be left for up to six months. After several weeks of healing, the artificial teeth, crown(s), are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor. Because we may require several fittings, this step may take one to two months to complete. And lastly, the artificial teeth are secured to the implant, providing excellent stability and comfort.

Dental Crowns

Crowns are called indirect restorations because the restoration is fabricated outside of the mouth, instead of being built in layers directly into the tooth like a dental filling. Crowns are also more effective than dental fillings in reinforcing teeth to withstand biting force and tooth decay. The dentist starts by taking impressions of your teeth. Then the restoration is shaped to match the part of the tooth it will replace and is attached with dental cement. If a tooth’s original structure is too compromised to support a filling, these indirect restorations can provide fantastic, long-lasting, beautiful results.
