Dental Exam
  • Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth
    (usually titanium) that are surgically placed
    into the upper or lower jaw bone. The teeth
    attached to implants are very natural looking and
    often enhance or restore a patient's smile!
  • Dental implants are very strong, stable, and
    durable and will last many years, but on
    occasion, they will have to be re-tightened or
    replaced due to normal wear.
  • X-rays and impressions (molds) are taken of the
    jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and
    spacing available for an implant. While the area
    is numb, the implant will be surgically placed
    into the bone and allowed to heal and integrate
    itself onto the bone for up to six months.

Composite Fillings
  • A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to
    repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks,
    fractures, etc. The decayed or affected portion
    of the tooth will be removed and then filled with
    a composite filling.
  • Reasons for composite fillings
  • Chipped teeth.
  • Closing space between two teeth.
  • Cracked or broken teeth.
  • Decayed teeth.
  • Worn teeth.
  • Good oral hygiene practices, eating habits, and
    regular dental visits will aid in the life of
    your new fillings.

Porcelain Crowns
  • A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the
    entire tooth surface restoring it to its original
    shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens
    tooth structure that cannot be restored with
    fillings or other types of restorations.
  • Although there are several types of crowns,
    porcelain (tooth colored crown) are the most
    popular, because they resemble your natural
    teeth. They are highly durable and will last many
    years, but like most dental restorations, they
    may eventually need to be replaced. Porcelain
    crowns are made to match the shape, size, and
    color or your teeth giving you a natural,
    long-lasting beautiful smile.
