Dental Implants

Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacing teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost their teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that their teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. Patients with dental implants can smile with confidence.

All-On-4^®

Tooth loss is, unfortunately, more common than most people think. Even losing several teeth is a very frequent occurrence. Unfortunately, there are some different things that can cause a person to lose all of their teeth. The All-on-4 (or Arch-On-4) process makes use of dental implants. These implants are small rods or screws made from titanium that is placed in the jawbone.

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen. The extraction of wisdom teeth is necessary when they are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. Impacted teeth can take many positions in the bone as they attempt to find a pathway that will allow them to successfully erupt.

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained to recognize and treat a wide spectrum of diseases, injuries, and defects in the head, neck, face and jaws. In addition to performing dental implant surgery, they also treat problems such as the extraction of wisdom teeth, misaligned jaws, tumors, and cysts of the jaw and mouth. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are also trained to administer anesthesia and deep sedation in an office setting.

Dental Emergencies

There are several things that could constitute in a dental emergency that requires immediate dental care. When you have a dental emergency that requires the attention of an oral & maxillofacial surgeon, the best course of action is to visit us as soon as possible. Contact our office and our helpful team will schedule an emergency appointment for you as soon as possible.

Bone Grafting

With bone grafting, we now have the opportunity to not only replace bone where it is missing but also the ability to promote new bone growth in that location! This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width, but it also gives us a chance to restore functionality and aesthetic appearance.

Change Your Smile, Improve Your Health.

A reconstructed smile will help you take back your life and allow you to live to the fullest again. Missing teeth have a huge impact, not just on the aesthetics of your smile but also on your oral health and overall well-being. Replacing missing or decaying teeth will help prevent gum disease, maintain your facial structure, prevent bone loss in your jaw, restore the functionality of your teeth, and prevent adjacent teeth from becoming subject to decay.

With the right dental treatment, you will be able to eat the foods you love, talk without additional effort, and smile as you mean it. When you feel good about your smile, you’re more likely to share it freely with family and friends. The act of smiling has a positive impact on your overall health and wellness as smiling relieves stress, boosts your immune system, and lowers your blood pressure. Good health begins with your mouth, and its positive impact goes much further than you may have realized. To find out if you’re a good candidate for dental implants, give us a call or schedule your consultation!
