  Dentures

  Dentures are a highly customizable dentistry treatment. Our dentists craft new dentures based on each patient's unique needs. Today, our dentists can give conventional dentures much more security, so your ability to eat and speak can be restored with a minimized risk of the restoration coming loose at inopportune times. Meanwhile, complete dentures secured by implants offer premium security that is virtually the same as that of natural teeth. We can help determine which option is best for you.

  Dental Implants

  The root of a tooth provides stimulation to the bone tissue in your jaw, keeping it strong and healthy. When a tooth has been missing for a significant period of time, the lack of stimulation causes jawbone tissue to recede. As the tissue continues to deteriorate, surrounding teeth begin to shift, which in turn causes cheeks to collapse inward and lips to start to pucker. By receiving dental implants, patients can prevent these changes in their facial structure and help maintain their appearance.

  Sleep Apnea Treatment

  Sleep apnea is a major health concern for millions of Americans and is often ignored or misdiagnosed. Untreated sleep apnea can cause someone to stop breathing repeatedly while sleeping. In some cases, breathing can stop hundreds of times during the night and may not resume for up to a minute or longer at times. Treatment of sleep apnea offers patients a number of positive health benefits, including better sleep, improved mood and concentration. It can also lower your risk of developing life-threatening health issues such as heart attack and stroke.

  TMJ

  TMJ disorder (TMD) causes wear and tear on your teeth and makes you more vulnerable to dental problems such as cavities and gum recession. TMJ can also result in chronic pain, bruxism, snoring problems, and persistent migraines. A treatment plan that is designed to address your unique functional problems and symptoms can provide relief and prevent ongoing and future health problems. When temporomandibular disorder goes untreated, patients require other treatments to maintain their teeth, jaw, and overall health. Patients often incur expenses to restore worn and damaged teeth and gums caused by issues such as bruxism or teeth clenching and grinding, as well as expenses to treat sleep apnea, and address chronic discomfort.

  Invisalign

  An alternative to traditional braces, Invisalign treatment can correct a range of misalignment issues using a series of custom aligners. Unlike braces, however, this orthodontic alternative is nearly undetectable while worn, making it an ideal solution for teens and adults alike. Depending on your unique needs, treatment can take anywhere between six and 18 months. While this incredible innovation in orthodontics has helped many, it’s not the best solution for every patient. Our dentists will check a few things to determine your candidacy for Invisalign and develop a customized treatment plan.

A beautiful smile can do wonders for your self-esteem. After we address your concerns with a smile makeover, you won't have to hide your mouth or feel embarrassed to smile.

  Veneers

  Veneers are a type of cosmetic tooth restoration designed to give your smile a more uniform appearance. They are shells made of materials like porcelain that can go over your front teeth. Whether you want to refine one tooth or several, veneers may be an effective option. If you want to refine minor cosmetic imperfections, porcelain veneers can be an effective choice. Porcelain easily mimics your natural teeth, making it easy for your new veneers to blend in seamlessly with your smile. Your dentist will likely remove some enamel from the tooth, allowing the veneer to fit securely over it without protruding for a natural-looking appearance.

  All-on-4 Dental Implants

  For traditional implant placement, uncompromised jawbone density is required. However, because the All-on-4 method involves placing implants at an angle in the jaw, those who have suffered some jaw atrophy may qualify without having to receive a bone graft. Regular dental implant treatment usually takes at least six months. The All-on-4 method, on the other hand, involves fewer procedures, giving patients a beautiful smile much sooner. In fact, a temporary denture is usually attached immediately after surgery.
