Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
• X-rays

Restorative

• Fillings
• Crowns
  Hard to tell which tooth has the implant under it, isn’t it? We can see how the implant works just like the root of a tooth. It anchors in the bone to support the crown of the porcelain tooth.
• Bridges
  The cost of a dental implant is roughly equivalent to the cost of a fixed bridge, the older method of replacing a tooth. There are two parts to the cost of an implant supported tooth. There is the cost of the Oral Surgeon placing the implant in the jaw, and also the cost of your family dentist making the porcelain tooth that attaches to the implant. Drs. Ochs or Dr. Dourmas will go over all the costs with you at your Implant Consultation visit.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
• Apicoectomy
  Damaged tissue is removed along with the end of the root tip. A root-end filling is placed to prevent reinfection of the root and the gum is sutured.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Dental Implants Eliminate Pain and Discomfort aside from dental implants, one of the other methods of replacing missing teeth is thru the placement of removable full or partial dentures. However, since dentures sit on top of the jawbone and gums, continuous shrinkage of the jaw bone alters the fit of the denture, resulting in slipping or rocking of the dentures. Exposed nerves and irritation of the gum tissue may add to the discomfort. Dental implants eliminate the pain and discomfort of removable full or partial dentures. Dental Implant supported replacement teeth are like natural teeth because they are anchored securely to your jawbone. Gum irritation and the pain of exposed nerves associated with conventional full or partial dentures are eliminated.Prevent Bone Loss As a result of losing one or more teeth, you inevitably lose mass in your jaw. This affects the overall skeletal structure of your face which not only changes your profile, but also may result in thin lips, drooping muscles, jowls or witch’s chin.
