Cosmetic Dentistry

The goal of cosmetic dentistry is to give you a fabulous smile! This is done by analyzing every aspect of your smile, then correcting any problems.

Helping people to smile and express themselves with confidence is one of the main reasons our doctors have enjoyed the dental field for so many years.

Dental Implants

Unlike bridges, dental implants need no supporting adjacent teeth. A dental implant is an artificial tooth implanted into the jaw bone. It is generally made of titanium and covered with a porcelain crown or a bridge to give the appearance of real teeth. Implants are very durable and will last many years. Dental implants can restore almost any smile even if natural teeth have been lost.

The success rate for implants is remarkable: 98 percent for lower implants and 91 percent for upper implants. Many people who consider implants have removable, conventional dentures for lower and upper jaws, or have removable bridges. These people experience a significant improvement in their ability to chew food comfortably after their dental implant treatment.
