Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  All new patients receive an oral examination and consultation for their treatment. During your initial consultation, we perform a thorough examination, including X-rays if needed, to help us develop the most appropriate treatment plan. Our surgeons and trained team will review the plan and financial obligations with you to make sure you fully understand what to expect as we move forward.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning

Restorative

• Fillings
• Crowns
  If a tooth has been broken or damaged by decay, your surgeon may recommend fixing it with a filling or crown. However, when there’s too much damage for the tooth to be repaired, the tooth may need to be extracted (removed).
• Bridges
  In general, the cost of replacing a single tooth with a dental implant is similar to replacing it with a fixed bridge. Your treatment may qualify for insurance coverage depending on your plan.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  While many patients are familiar with going to the dentist for fillings, crowns or root canals, there are certain oral health issues that may warrant a more extensive surgical procedure. The complexity and severity of your case helps to determine whether or not your dentist will refer you to an oral surgeon. So, what exactly are the cases that may lead you to an oral surgeon’s office? While oral surgeons specialize in a number of complex procedures, here are the most common reasons why your dentist might refer you to one...

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Dent al implants are often recommended to patients as the ideal solution for missing teeth. This is because they look, feel and function just like natural teeth. The implants themselves are threaded titanium posts that are placed into your jawbone to serve as anchors for your replacement teeth. Because they are a bit more expensive than other replacement teeth solutions such as dentures, it’s natural to wonder: Are dental implants really worth it? If you’re weighing whether or not to get a dental implant, here are a few factors to consider with your decision.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Whether you’ve decided to get dental implants or you’re still considering, learning about the process can help you know what to expect. It’s important to understand that this process doesn’t happen within one appointment or surgery. It truly is a process that can take months due to the amount of growth or healing needed between each step.
