- CrownsThe implant team include your dentist, a lab technician, and our surgeons. After an implant is placed by our specialized surgeons, it will heal to the jaw bone over a period of six weeks to four months depending on the surgery. At this point our surgeons will release you back to your dentist to start the restorative process of adding the crown/prosthesis to the implant.
- BridgesMore and more people are getting dental implants to replace missing teeth. They're a long-term solution that is embedded in your jawbone, just like your natural teeth. Plus, unlike fixed bridges or removable dentures, dental implants will not affect neighboring healthy teeth or lead to bone loss in the jaw. If properly cared for, dental implants can last a lifetime.

- DenturesAfter teeth have been removed or lost for long periods of time, the jaw bones "atrophy,” or shrink, which is the natural loss of bone. This shrinkage of your bone can make it very difficult to obtain a proper fitting denture or partial denture. In addition, patients who have had resective surgery to remove tumors or have lost tissue due to trauma may also require reconstructive surgery.
- Dental ImplantsIt is very important to discuss with your dentist the possibility of replacing the extracted tooth or teeth with dental implant/s prior to surgery so that we may schedule additional time for you to ask any questions you may have regarding implants and the overall treatment plan.
