Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They fuse with the bone, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants prevent bone loss, restore chewing function, and mimic natural teeth in appearance and durability. Ideal candidates have sufficient bone density and good oral health.
LANAP Laser Gum Treatment
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) treats gum disease using a precision laser to remove infected tissue without cutting or stitching. This FDA-approved method promotes tissue regeneration, reduces pocket depth, and preserves tooth structure. Patients experience faster healing and minimal discomfort compared to traditional surgery.
All on 4
All on 4 replaces an entire arch of missing teeth with just four implants supporting a fixed denture. This technique avoids extensive bone grafting, allowing immediate function and aesthetics in 24-48 hours. The result is a stable, natural-looking smile that restores chewing efficiency and facial contours.
Pinhole Surgical Technique
The Pinhole Surgical Technique corrects receding gums through a minimally invasive approach. A small hole is made in the gum tissue, which is gently repositioned to cover exposed roots. No incisions or sutures are required, resulting in rapid healing and reduced post-operative sensitivity.
Implant Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures combine implants with removable or fixed prosthetics for enhanced stability. Anchored by implants, these dentures eliminate slippage, improve chewing ability, and preserve jawbone structure. They offer a secure, comfortable alternative to traditional dentures with no adhesives required.
