Services
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Custom full mouth reconstruction addresses multiple dental issues including damaged or missing teeth. Using crowns, implants, and veneers, we restore both function and aesthetics. Patients gain confidence through improved appearance and better oral health. Our approach combines durability with natural-looking results.
Dental Implants
Permanent dental implants replace missing teeth with natural-looking, long-lasting solutions. The process involves surgical placement of titanium posts followed by custom restorations. Implants preserve jawbone structure and prevent facial sagging while restoring full chewing capability.
TMJ Treatment
Our TMJ treatment addresses jaw pain and misalignment through bite adjustments and night guards. Tekscan technology ensures precise occlusal corrections. Patients experience reduced headaches, improved jaw function, and relief from chronic facial pain through personalized treatment plans.
Laser Gum Surgery
Minimally invasive laser gum surgery treats periodontal disease with the DenMat SL3 diode laser. This approach reduces recovery time, preserves healthy tissue, and effectively eliminates infections. Patients benefit from improved gum health and reduced tooth sensitivity.
Gold Inlays Onlays
Custom gold inlays and onlays repair damaged teeth with durable, biocompatible restorations. These conservative treatments preserve more natural tooth structure than crowns. Patients receive long-lasting solutions for cracked or decayed teeth with optimal fit and function.
