- Dental ExaminationIn providing these comprehensive services, we determine your needs and desires and provide a complete oral examination. Your consultation will include a review of the function and cosmetics of your present condition, and suggestions for improvements.
- Fillings
- VeneersPorcelain Veneers are egg shell thin porcelain coverings placed over prepared teeth in order to correct things like size, shape, position, color, and wear. To achieve a natural look with porcelain veneers Dr. Hoar personalizes individual characteristics. This is achieved through masculine or feminine tooth arrangement, proper lip support and determination of a pleasing smile line for your facial contour. One other key aspect in obtaining a natural looking smile is the type and shade of the veneered teeth and the ability and skill of the laboratory technician. This technique is popular among models, actors and actresses because of the beauty and longevity these restorations offer. In fact, Dr. Hoar uses the same laboratories in Hollywood that make the stars teeth. The time to complete the procedure can be as little as two weeks. Straight, white perfect teeth can take 10-15 years off of your appearance.
- CrownsA crown or cap is a metal thimble or hollow tooth that is bonded with tooth colored porcelain. The crown is permanently cemented over a prepared tooth to restore natural function and esthetics.
- BridgesA bridge is used to replace one or more teeth and is permanently cemented in the mouth. The teeth adjacent to the missing teeth are prepared or reduced in size and serve as anchors for the fixed bridge. The patient wears a temporary acrylic bridge for a short period of time so that a permanent bridge can be fabricated in the laboratory. The bridge is ultimately cemented to the prepared teeth with a dental cement.
- Restorative Dentistry
- Root Canal TreatmentYour teeth are similar to most other organs in the body - they are living tissue. The enamel is a strong crystalline structure which is the part you see when you look in your mouth. The dentin is a softer material underneath the enamel. Inside the center of the tooth is the pulp chamber and running down the center of the roots of the tooth are the root canals. The pulp chamber and root canals contain nerves which provide sensation and blood vessels which supply nutrients to the tooth.
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesImprove your appearance by eliminating the sunken denture look, and lines and wrinkles around your mouth and nose.
- Dental ImplantsWe are excited to invite you to our dental practice, and hope to provide a significant contribution to your overall health by offering implant, restorative, and cosmetic dental care. The implant dentistry techniques we offer have proven to be life-changing for many of our patients who previously had little hope of regaining normal oral functions and facial cosmetics which are so important to the quality of life.
- Ridge Augmentation
- Bone GraftingAfter the implant has bonded to the bone or "osseointegrated", Dr. Hoar performs a minor procedure to uncover the implants. Small posts are attached to the implants. These posts project through the gums and will serve as anchors for the replacement teeth (Photo A Below). The entire procedure takes six to eight months. Most patients experience very little disruption from their normal life patterns. Cases that require bone grafting due to inadequate bone for implant placement would require additional healing time.
- Teeth WhiteningWith bleaching trays you can "touchup" whenever you wish. So before that reunion, or wedding use your bleaching for a few days to get a bright white smile!
- Cosmetic DentistryA smile can be the most eye-catching feature of your face. Discolored, chipped or crooked teeth can be corrected through modern advances in dental technology. Dr. Hoar's skills span almost 40 years of clinical experience in the art of cosmetic dentistry.
- General DentistryYour teeth are intended to last a lifetime - and they can with proper care. Implant & General Dentistry offers non-surgical treatments to remedy gum inflammation and gum disease and we refer to specialists when necessary.
