Only the highest quality materials and products are used in our office. Our labs are among the best available.

We are also sensitive to each of our patients individual financial situations and work to inform them as to most economical way to approach their dental needs and stay within household budgets. In addition to those dental issues which we technically diagnose, we also understand that patients often have unique concerns about their teeth. In addressing each issue, we will provide you with as many options as are available while carefully explaining the pros and cons of each. This is why we also place such great value upon our doctor/patient relationships because pursuing and obtaining optimum dental health is truly a team effort.

A: The answer is yes, it can be done that very same day, most of the time. A man came into our office with a bridge in his and, for example, thinking a couple of weeks is what it might take. However, he left later that day with a full set of permanent teeth that are his. He never has to take them out!

A: It absolutely is, like a re-do a do-over when a person has bad gums. We get the gums back to a healthy state, once again, by starting over. Then, we can put in the implants when they have healthy bones again, as a foundation and now we can maintain them, because they are just like real teeth!

A: No, not at all. Nobody wants painI dont either! So we dont want you to have any. In fact, we have sedation for the procedure itself. It is like waking up with a whole new smile, after taking a quick nap, basically.

About 90% of the people I see, post-op, are shocked when they come in the next day there is no bruising, they are not having pain, and they arent swollen! Depending on who they are, the there 10% might have a tougher time, but 90% of my patients dont have any problems.

A: You certainly do notIm trained in all the specialties, so you will only be seeing me. You can be absolutely assured that I have much practical experience in getting you the kind of results you want, because I have been practicing Dental Implant Dentistry from the very beginning.

A: I hear this question quite frequently. Clients are skeptical, surprised & shocked that we could actually do this. We CAN take care of this right away. The answer is yes, you can have the smile you have always wantedright away!

Safe Implant Dentistry basics are actually not that complex. A few intensive weekend seminars can, in most cases, enable dentists to acquire the knowledge relatively quick, required to perform implants. Continuing education and experience can nevertheless, as with any field, make a big difference in the actual patient outcome and experiences.

A less knowledgeable and less experienced doctor, as you might expect, will charge lower fees accordingly. However, you will always want to have confidence that your doctor has the necessary skill level to handle any problems that may arise. Sothis is one area where you definitely dont want to scrimp!

Advertising which offers one-size-fits-all kinds of deals should always be eyed with suspicion, because every mouth and every situation is unique. You cant get something for nothing, as the old saying goes. That is never more true than it is in the field of Implant Dentistry!

Without giving any consideration to what a patient may actually NEED, in order to achieve a healthy mouth, and a glowing smile, a flat price offered for implants should almost always be considered too good to be true.

A detailed analysis based on your lifestyle goals, and current health ,that includes a complete oral assessment of X-rays and a full exam is the only way to get a realistic, finally price based on what you really need.

The crown, the abutment (which connects the implant with the crown), and the implant itself, all come from a wide range of manufacturers, with varying price tags. So, while relatively simple in concept, your unique situation literally has hundreds of options when it comes to choosing the right Dental Implants.

To make certain your needsfinancially, medically and aesthetically are all satisfied, effective interaction between you and your Doctor are required in choosing the right combination of all three ingredients of the implant.

The overall quality of experience provided through the use of up-to-date technologies and systems, is one key factor that is often overlooked in considering price. One must consider details like the number and types of of sedation options, the health monitoring equipment used, surgical procedures, high quality diagnostic tools, and much more in order to properly assess value!

In just the last decade alone, dental technology has advanced so dramatically, that older patients have begun coming back to dentists. Their less-than-postive experiences as a child have been overcome, and they are now amazed at how comfortable and pain free modern dentistry can bewhen modern techniques, and the latest tools are paired.

Underlying conditions may affect someones suitability for Dental Implants. Thats why the expertise of a skilled Implant Dentist, who knows how to assess and consider those conditions needs to be relied upon.

Bone grafts could be necessary, for instance, to ensure ultimate success in some very rare cases where the jaw bone is too thin, or soft. Its very important to let your Dentist know if you have recently lost a tooth, because in that case, he will need to act as soon as possible.

The jaw bone surrounding the missing tooth may begin to shrink within a year of losing the tooth. If you dont have an implant in that time period, the jaw bone may become too small to support an implant.
