DENTAL IMPLANTS

Dental Implants can be thought of as artificial roots onto which teeth or dentures can be placed. Placement and restoration of dental implants is now a fairly routine procedure and in fact is becoming the most common way to replace missing teeth. All phases of Dental Implantology require experience, skill and exacting techniques. We have our patients' implant surgery done at one of several Periodontist or Oral Surgeons offices that we use, and the restorations (placing the teeth or dentures on the implants) are done in our office.

Porcelain or Gold Crowns are used to cover and protect back teeth that are weakened by large restorations. A crown covers the tooth to protect it from fracturing, and in the case of Porcelain Crowns, to make it looks like new again.
