Dental Implants

Dental implants are a revolutionary way to replace your tooth. The implant is placed in the jawbone, followed by custom-made dental crowns that look and function like natural teeth!

What to expect during your implant procedure:

The appointment will be approximately 90 minutes.
The doctor will discuss the anesthetic process prior to your appointment.
At this appointment, the implant will be placed, and you may also leave with a temporary crown.
Sutures may be placed.
At the second visit, any sutures will be removed, and a radiograph may be taken.
The third visit will consist of another radiograph and to check the healing process.
Depending on the rate of healing, there will be a few follow-up appointments.
Once the implant is secure, the permanent crown will be placed and cemented.

Dental Implant FAQs

What are other options to replace missing teeth?

Alternative treatments include a fixed or removable bridge.

How do people care for their dental implants?

Just treat them like you would your natural teeth, and you’ll be good!

How long does it takes to heal?

The healing process can take anywhere between 6 and 8 months.

Bridges

Bridges are another fantastic treatment path for people missing one or more teeth. Patients with missing teeth are more likely to develop dental disorders, such as gum disease and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ).

What to expect during your bridge procedure:

Routine anesthetic and preparation occur during the first visit.
A temporary bridge is fabricated that will be worn for a few weeks.
On the second visit, the temporary bridge comes off, and the permanent bridge is cemented.
Please wait an hour to eat after cementation.

Dental Bridges FAQs

Will I feel any pain after the anesthesia wears off?

Likely, you will experience a degree of soreness. We suggest taking over-the-counter medication if you have symptoms. Contact our office if pain persists after two weeks.

What color will the bridge be?

Bridges are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth. We are happy to consult with you to pick out the ideal match.

How long do bridges last?

If properly cared for, a dental bridge can last 10-15 years!

Crowns

A crown is a type of dental restoration that covers the portion of your tooth or implant above the gum line. It restores function, strength, and aesthetics to teeth after being damaged by decay or severe trauma.

What to expect during your crown procedure:

Routine anesthetic and preparation will occur during your visit.
E4D CAD/CAM technology is utilized to produce same-day crowns, which will then be cemented.
Please wait an hour to eat after cementation.

Dental Crown FAQ

Am I allowed to floss?

Yes. With a permanent crown, our goal is to get you to brush and floss as you normally would. With a temporary, you’ll want to use a degree of caution while flossing. Our team members are happy to demonstrate the best way to floss with a crown!

How long do I need the temporary?

It’s usually 1-2 weeks.

What do I do if my crown comes off?

Root Canals

A root canal therapy is a procedure in which the pulp of an infected or injured tooth may be removed and then filled.

A root canal can also include removing all nerve tissue, shaping the empty space to prevent future infection, and restore function. A common reason for needing this type of treatment would result in trauma,such as when there has been damage done to your teeth by decay that penetrates through into the inside chamber where nerves are located.

Root Canal FAQ

Are there other options besides a root canal?

A root canal is your best option to resolve the issue. If you do not seek treatment, the infection will worsen.

Will I experience pain?

Discomfort is common and can be relieved with over-the-counter pain medication.

What is the time frame for healing?

The healing process can take anywhere between a few days to six weeks.

Veneers

A veneer is a thin shell made of porcelain that, when bonded to your teeth, will enhance the look of stained or chipped teeth. This procedure requires three appointments: impressions for temporary veneers; prepping which consists of taking an impression and reviewing color shades before permanently cementing them!

Veneer FAQ

What is the best way to clean my veneer?

Brush and floss! You should care for your veneers just as you would your natural teeth.

Do I need to avoid certain foods?

Eat whatever you’re in the mood for! You’ll want to be careful when biting into certain foods (I.E., caramel).

What if my veneer comes off?
