Instead of creating and placing entire veneers, we can add a composite material to the front of your teeth just where its needed to correct small chips or cracks. Dental bonding is a very flexible technique that can repair minor blemishes in teeth for a low cost.
Here at our office, we strive to help our patients prevent dental damage and tooth loss as much as possible, but we understand that sometimes tooth loss happens anyway. Missing teeth can happen as a result of untreated gum disease, traumatic injury, or even aging.
Whatever the cause, we can help you repair that smile with natural-feeling, implant-supported teeth.

If you have any missing teeth, its important to get it fixed as soon as possible. With a hole in your smile, not only do you run the risk of your other teeth going out of alignment, but your jawbone also begins to decay wherever it is not supported by a tooth root.
Dental implants are small titanium rods that are medically inserted into your jawbone to act as a new tooth root and keep your jawbone stimulated to prevent that facial decay. Here at our office we can place both single-tooth implants as well as preparing your mouth for a full set of implant-supported dentures.
You need a viable amount of good jawbone for us to place the implant, which in some cases may require a bone graft. Dr. Sullivan can determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants. We use our CBCT machine to accurately scan your jaw and safely plan the perfect place for the implant, so it doesnt interfere with your other teeth.
Placement | After you have been approved for a dental implant restoration, we work closely with a trusted oral surgeon who performs the procedure of placing the implant in your jaw. Dr. Sullivan may even go with you to the surgery if you have more involved needs.
Restoration | When the implant has healed as much as it needs, you will then come back to our same office again where we will replace the visible surface of your missing tooth with a beautiful crown or a set of dentures that are custom-made to match the color and shape of the rest of your smile. After this procedure, you can eat, brush, and floss your new teeth just like your natural teeth!
Before we begin an implant for you, well make sure that your jaw is ready for it. If necessary, well even clean your teeth and eradicate any gum disease. Using our CT scanner, well find if your jawbone has the right bone density to support an implant or implants.
When youre missing a tooth or teeth, it can negatively affect your long-term healtheven if those effects may not be immediately visible. You may not be able to eat your favorite foods, and it can affect your speech. Besides that, not replacing missing teeth can cause your other teeth to shift out of place and your jawbone to shrink away.
You can rest assured that Dr. Sullivan is an experienced and highly qualified implant dentist. He teaches and trains other dentists in implants and cosmetic dentistry, as well as complex restorative dentistry. Dr. Sullivan is also a clinical mentor at Spear Education and lectures at nationwide conferences.
