Dental Implants

Immediate load dental implants

Implants are devices made of titanium that replace the roots of lost teeth, and are used to support crowns, bridges or dentures. Immediate load dental implants can be placed in a single appointment and the integration with the bone is immediately or no longer than 24 hours.

Two stage dental implants

Using the traditional implant process (Two stage dental implants), placements in the lower jaw need about three months to heal while placements in the upper jaw need about six months to heal. Traditionally, the procedure has been performed in two steps. The dentist began by installing the implant, which was left for three to six months to heal and integrate with the jawbone. During the healing period, the patient was given a temporary prosthesis until the permanent crown could be put in place. Traditional dental implants required patients to sacrifice much of their time and money to achieve the look and feel of natural-looking teeth.

Bone grafting

A bone graft (regenerative surgery) is a procedure that is used to recreate hard and soft supporting tissues lost due to gum disease.

Sinus lift

A sinus lift is surgery that adds bone to your upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars. It's sometimes called a sinus augmentation. The bone is added between your jaw and the maxillary sinuses, which are on either side of your nose. To make room for the bone, the sinus membrane has to be moved upward, or "lifted."

Cosmetic Dentistry

Porcelain crowns and high noble metal porcelain crowns

Crowns are a type of dental restoration which, when cemented into place, fully cup over the portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. Crowns can be made out of porcelain (meaning some sort of dental ceramic), metal (a gold or other metal alloy), or a combination of both.

Crowns on implants

Whitening (laser and home bleaching)

a) Home bleaching: This type of teeth bleaching system makes use of a plastic bleaching tray (a "custom" bleaching tray) into which a carbamide peroxide whitening gel is placed. The loaded tray is then seated over the dental patient's teeth and worn (at home, on the patient's own time) for multiple hours per day (or else overnight), for some weeks, while the lightening effects of the teeth whitening process take place.

b) Laser whitening: Professional teeth whitening or laser whitening refers to a technique where a whitener is applied to your teeth by the dentist in the dental office. The main advantage of this procedure is that the whitening effect is seen immediately.

Teeth cleaning

Teeth’s cleaning is the removal of dental plaque from teeth, in order to prevent cavities (dental caries), gingivitis, and periodontitis.

Composite white fillings

Composite "white" fillings, made of composite, are used to restore teeth that have small cavities. They are called "white" fillings because of the natural, tooth color of the material. Composite fillings can be made on-site and completed in only one office visit.

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers, alternatively termed dental veneers or dental porcelain laminates, are wafer-thin shells of porcelain that are bonded onto the front side of teeth so to create a cosmetic improvement for a tooth. Porcelain veneers are routinely used by dentists as a way to make cosmetic changes for teeth that are discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned.

Bridge

A dental bridge is a false tooth, known as a pontic, which is fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth. The two crowns holding it in place that are attached onto your teeth on each side of the false tooth. This is known as a fixed bridge. This procedure is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Fixed bridges cannot be taken out of your mouth as you might do with removable partial dentures.

General

Endodontic (Root canal therapy)

Root canal therapy refers to the process by which a dentist treats the inner aspects of a tooth, specifically that area inside a tooth that is occupied by its "pulp tissue." Most people would probably refer to a tooth's pulp tissue as its "nerve." While a tooth's pulp tissue does contain nerve fibers it is also composed of arteries, veins, lymph vessels, and connective tissue.

Periodontics

What is periodontal disease and what causes it? It starts with bleeding gums, but can lead to tooth loss if allowed to continue.

Extractions

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone.

Wisdom teeth surgery

A wisdom tooth is extracted to correct an actual problem or to prevent problems that may come up in the future.
