In other words, over time, the bone fuses securely to the titanium in a process known as osseointegration. Thanks to this special property, dental implants are able to restore strength and stability to the jaw in a way that dentures simply cannot mimic. They are the preferred choice of dentists, and most patients prefer implants too because of their aesthetic appeal and… Read More
Millions of Americans suffer from edentulism, which is the clinical term for having one or more missing teeth. The loss of natural teeth is devastating. Not only is it damaging to your self-confidence and self-image, but it can also result in health complications. Without the gentle stimulation of biting and chewing on a natural tooth, the jawbone will begin to lose density. Many patients prefer dental implants over dentures because implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Once you’ve had the permanent crown placed, you won’t be able… Read More

For years, the only way to get a permanent crown was to have one custom fabricated at a lab, a process that generally takes two to… Read More

Convenience is one of the biggest advantages for Invisalign wearers. Patients love the flexibility and freedom of removing their clear aligners for short periods of time, whether for a special event, during meals or while brushing and flossing. Too work effectively, Invisalign requires self-discipline and patient compliance. Those who wear their aligners for less than 22 hours a day will see much slower results, and while a couple of hours here or there won’t derail your progress, forgetting to wear them for a week can have more serious consequences.
