When a tooth needs to be removed, Dr Etue has the ability to extract or pull teeth. He is well versed in both routine (simple) and surgical extractions. All extractions can be completed easily, and with sedation, can be a comfortable and quick procedure. There is usually no need to visit a specialist or seek treatment at the hospital; all your needs can be met under one roof.

Wisdom teeth or third molars are considered extra teeth that most people just dont have room for. Even if they do erupt or grown into our mouths, its very rare that they can be cleaned efficiently and not cause issues for their neighboring teeth. Dr Etue is able to remove these teeth, and with the use of IV sedation he can make the procedure comfortable, quick, and predictable. The days of fearing having our wisdom teeth removed are over!!

  • Your wisdom teeth may break partway through your gums, causing a flap of gum tissue to grow over them. Food and germs can get trapped under the flap and cause your gums to become red, swollen, and painful. These are signs of infection.
  • Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth. There are two types of dental implants: small or mini and conventional or root form.

    We take pride in offering our patients the latest technology in dental implants. We use an FDA-approved dental implant system that is proven to provide a long term solution for many of our denture wearing patients. This dental implant system, which is patient-friendly and cost-effective, includes a miniature titanium (an extremely strong and durable metal) implant with a ball-shaped head which acts like the root of a tooth and a tiny retaining fixture which acts as a socket. An O-ring connects the two and securely holds the denture in place, which provides comfort and peace of mind when speaking and chewing.

    Root form or conventional implants are used to replace teeth, permanently hold down dentures, and bridges. A dental implant is actually a replacement for the root or roots of a tooth. The main difference between the two types of implants is that root form is used for permanent or fixed teeth-they do not come in and out of your mouth. Root form implants are known to be stronger than mini implants and have a wider variety of uses. And, because of their size, they last longer.

    Like tooth roots, dental implants are secured in the jawbone and are not visible once placed. They are used to secure crowns (the parts of teeth seen in the mouth), bridgework or dentures by a variety of means. They are made of titanium, which is lightweight, strong and biocompatible, which means that it is not rejected by the body. Titanium and titanium alloys are the most widely used metals in both dental and other bone implants, such as orthopedic joint replacements. Dental implants have the highest success rate of any implanted surgical device.

    Dr Etue is able to place all implants in office in a predictable and pain free setting, ensuring you wont have to travel between multiple dental offices, saving your time and precious financial resources.

  • Improved oral health. Dental implants dont require reducing other teeth as a tooth-supported bridge does. Because nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health.
  • Success rates of dental implants vary depending on where in the jaw the implants are placed, but in general dental implants have a success rate of up to 94%. With proper care , implants can last many years and in some instances a lifetime.

    We dont give much thought or even think of the health or importance of the bone our teeth sit in, but not only does it serve as the foundation for our teeth, it also plays a big part in our appearance. Bone can be lost by gum disease or if a tooth is missing or extracted.The bone may collapse and resorb into the empty socket and cause a sunken appearance to our cheeks or jaw. A bone graft can fix these conditions caused by dental disease or as a result of an accident, and can also be used to create a solid foundation for a dental implant.

    Dr Etue is able to replace missing bone, and grow new bone in height and width with specific types of bone grafting techniques. This allows patients of all ages to obtain their cosmetic and functional goals with both fixed or permanent teeth and dentures.

    The sinus lift or sinus lift graft procedure is a relatively common form of oral plastic surgery that is designed to increase the height of the maxillary or upper jaw bone so that further reconstructive work, such as dental implants, can be done. The maxillary sinuses are located behind the cheekbones and run from under the eyes to the area just above the upper back teeth. It is a relatively easy and predictable procedure, and Dr Etue will ensure you are comfortable.

    Bone Recontouring or Alveoloplasty is a simple out patient procedure done on a routing basis by Dr Etue. Bone reshaping is most often completed with tooth removal but can be completed as an independent procedure. When teeth are removed the extraction socket left behind has sharp areas of bone under the gums. When the area heals these sharp areas can poke through the overlying gums making the area very sore, especially if a denture or partial is in use. Without some reshaping they can be very difficult to wear, and can even become sore.

    Dr Lin was very gentle with my procedure. Almost felt nothing with his injection. He is very professional through out I came in for veneers on two of my front teeth due to gaps. I asked Dr. Lin if I need to do all 6 of my front teeth, he said he wanted to approach it conservatively and just focus on doing the two teeth first because all my other teeth is very beautiful and healthy.

    First, be aware that most of the reviews online are for Dr. Etue and not for the current owner Dr. Lin. We have gone to Complete Dentistry for approximately 10 years were always satisfied and happy with Dr. Etue and the staff at Complete Dentistry. We were saddened when he left 9 months ago but decided to give Dr. Lin a try, especially as the staff seemed happy to stay. At my last cleaning Dr. Lin informed me that I needed not 1 or 2 fillings but 8 when 6 months ago I had had a clean exam. These "fillings" where not shown on x-ray, but Dr. Lin's visual judgement. Additionally his chair-side manner is brisk and unwelcoming. I will be getting a second opinion and taking our business elsewhere.

    This is a great dental office. Nice clean environment and all the office staffs are very friendly and efficient. Dr Lin is very gentle and knowledgeable. He explained his findings and treatment options. He is also very considerate on how I feel during the exam. I had the most comfortable experience here.

    Very great experience with Dr Lin over all. After cleaning with hygienist Su. Dr Lin come in did his exam on me and then go over X-ray with me together. He Pointed out where cavities were and told me which ones need fillings and which ones can be left on watch.

    My family and I had been loyal patients of Dr. Etue for 10 years and were sad when he left in 2020, but we continued here because we love the staff so much. I had nothing but cleanings for 10 + years and no sooner than Dr. Lin took over, I needed a filling. Then, another one. Then my son needed something. All of this within the span of about 18 months. I'm not sure if this is pure coincidence since Dr. Etue left, but next time I "need" a filling, I might get a second opinion elsewhere.

    Great office, thank you for being patient when my insurance did not pay on a procedure. They helped me fix my teeth, and let me pay after the insurance declined. Thanks for not judging me and putting me to sleep to fix my teeth

    Dr. Etue and his staff were nothing short of the most accommodating, professional staff I have ever been served by. Kabir and Kaitlin were incredibly patient with my chronic condition that has, in the past, affected my experience with medical providers. Would definitely recommend to anyone who's looking for top-of-the-line care.

    Dr. Etue and his staff are very professional, humble and down to earth. I am speechless about their outstanding care for me and my family. Besides, Dr. Etue is the honest person I have ever seen in my life, he will tell you to do only the necessary follow-up. I have seen like other Dentist who will tell you to do this and to do that - which is actually not required. Additionally, please see Katherine the hygienist for your regular routine cleanup. She is awesome. I would definitely recommend this business.

    The dentist was extremely rude and lectured both me and my teenager because she drank a Gatorade. He talked down to both of us. I do not want him working on either me or my child.
