Patient Examples
Crowns
Before
After
Before
After
Crowns are a type of dental restoration which, when cemented into place, fully cup over the portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. In comparison, fillings are dental restorations that fill in or cover over just a portion of a tooth. Since dental crowns encase the entire visible aspect of a tooth, a dental crown in effect becomes the tooth's new outer surface.
Implants
Before
After
Before
After
A dental implant is a prosthetic tooth root, surgically placed in the bone, that serves as the foundation for either a permanent or removable replacement tooth. Implants function the same as normal teeth and offer significant advantages over removable dentures. Implants, compared to dentures or bridges, are more comfortable, easier to speak with, and better for overall oral health. Prospective patients for implants must be healthy enough to undergo the procedure, have enough bone and gum structure to hold the implant, and be dedicated to maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dentist appointments.
