We are all about getting “in shape” these days, so what shape is your smile in? With today’s dentistry, a few minor adjustments can make a world of difference. There are many options for improving your smile. It can be as easy as a small tooth colored bonding, a more advanced approach with porcelain veneers, or invisible braces. Many of these options allow us to straighten and enhance your smile. A simple consultation appointment can help identify what it will take to get your smile “in shape”.

With today’s advancements in tooth replacement, we can create a new tooth where one or more are missing.  In the past 12 years, dental implants have become more main stream due to predictability and high success rate.

A dental implant is a narrow screw made from titanium.  With very little discomfort, the implant is placed in the mouth in a relatively quick procedure.  The post operative recovery is very short.  The implant site is allowed to heal for 3-6 months, then a crown or prosthesis is fabricated.

There are great advantages for choosing an implant.  First, the procedure does not involve or depend on the adjacent teeth.  Second, implants do not decay.  Third, there is little periodontal disease associated with implants.  For patients with dentures or partial dentures, we can offer a better quality of life with a dental implant.
