Feel Great About Eating, Talking, & Smiling Again
When you have missing teeth, it affects way more than just how you look. You might skip going out to eat because you worry about what you can order. Maybe you cover your mouth when you laugh or smile. Talking clearly can be hard when you have gaps in your teeth.
You shouldn't have to plan your whole day around dental problems. Getting new teeth gives you much more than a nice smile. You'll be able to bite into crunchy apples, speak clearly to anyone, and laugh out loud without feeling embarrassed.
Regular dentures can slip at the worst times and make you feel worried about eating in public. Bridges need us to file down your healthy teeth next to the gap. Our implants are different because the new tooth root goes right into your jaw bone. This makes a base that's even stronger than what you were born with.
Once everything heals up, you can eat whatever you want. Bagels, fresh carrots, caramel candy, and tough steak will all be back on your menu. The best part is that your new teeth will feel so normal that you'll forget you ever had work done.
We understand that going to the dentist can make you nervous, and we take those feelings seriously. You can walk around our office, meet our friendly staff, and ask us anything you want to know. You never have to decide anything until you feel totally ready.
Your first appointment starts with us checking your mouth and listening to what bothers you most. Then we'll explain exactly how we can fix your problems.
Everyone is different, so we make plans that work just for you. We want to know what's most important to you and answer anything that makes you worried. Some people need their teeth fixed quickly. Others want to take more time or need to think about the cost. We'll create a plan that fits perfectly with what you need.
Here are our best treatments that have helped patients love their smiles again:
Implant Dentures - These special dentures snap onto small posts we put in your jaw. You can take them out to clean them, but they stay put tight while you eat and talk.
Complete Arch Replacement - We place four to six implants that hold up a whole row of top or bottom teeth. All-on-X implants only need normal brushing and flossing to keep them clean.
Individual Tooth Restoration - Missing just one tooth? We can put in one implant with a custom crown that looks exactly like your other teeth. No one will be able to tell the difference.
Immediate Tooth Replacement - Come in with missing teeth and leave with a brand-new smile. You get temporary teeth when you get your implants, then permanent ones after you heal.
Full Mouth Reconstruction - For patients who need lots of work, we create complete plans to rebuild entire smiles using implants along with other treatments.
