Implant Supported Dentures-Typical dentures require adhesive and can have problems such as shifting, gum sores, difficulty chewing and difficulty speaking. Implant supported dentures can solve these problems by distributing your biting pressure more like natural teeth and stimulating the supportive structure of your teeth to prevent the soft tissues and bone from shrinking away. You can replace an entire set of teeth with beautiful, natural-looking implants.

Implant Supported Crowns -One of the most permanent forms of restoration dentistry is a dental implant, which can be used to replace one or more teeth. A surgical grade titanium post is placed by one of the doctor’s trusted specialists. As the bone bonds to the post, it forms a secure foundation for the attachment of a crown or a prosthetic tooth that is custom created for you. Implants are sometimes used instead of bridges to maintain the integrity of the teeth on either side of the missing teeth.

Dentures-Dentures allow you to live a normal life even after you have lost your teeth. Advances in denture techniques and technology allow your removable dentures to fit better than ever. Dentures also support your cheeks and lips to lend a desirable aesthetic appeal. They will make you look younger and healthier. Your cosmetic dentist specializes in creating life-like dentures, and he/she will work with you to create your ideal smile. You will select the shade and shape of your teeth, and you will also have a “try-on” appointment before your dentures are finished to make sure your dentures look as natural and feel as comfortable as possible.

Partial Dentures-Partial dentures are used if you have several teeth missing that cannot be corrected with a bridge. A partial denture is created to replace those teeth. The denture is removable and designed to fit comfortably and blend in with any remaining teeth. This type of denture is made from a synthetic material that is supported with a lightweight metal.

It mimics your gum tissue and teeth to create a natural looking smile while still remaining functional. The partial is important once the teeth have been removed to preserve the bone and to keep existing teeth from tilting and growing in towards the gaps.

TMJ-You may suffer from headaches, a popping jaw when you open or close your mouth and pain in your jaw joints and muscles. TMJ, also known as TMD or Temporomandibular Joint Disease, is a condition many people suffer from, but it can be treated. Based on the severity of your condition, we can recommend a course of treatment that will help alleviate your pain and make your day-to-day activities more pleasant.
