Dental Implants
Dental implants restore missing teeth using titanium posts fused to the jawbone, providing permanent support for crowns. This treatment prevents bone loss, improves chewing function, and enhances facial aesthetics. Ideal candidates have sufficient jawbone density or may qualify for bone grafting to support implant placement.
All-on-4 Treatment
All-on-4 replaces an entire arch of teeth with just four strategically placed implants, avoiding bone grafting. Angled posterior implants maximize bone contact for stability. This solution offers immediate function, reduced surgery time, and cost savings compared to traditional implant-supported dentures.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Surgical extraction addresses impacted wisdom teeth causing pain, infection, or crowding. Using advanced imaging, we plan precise removal to minimize trauma. Post-operative care instructions ensure smooth recovery, with options for sedation to enhance comfort during the procedure.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting rebuilds jaw volume to support dental implants after bone loss. Autografts, allografts, or synthetic materials integrate with existing bone over months. This procedure enables implant candidacy for patients previously told they lack sufficient bone structure.
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery corrects misaligned jaws to improve bite function, speech, and facial symmetry. Combined with orthodontics, this treatment addresses developmental issues or trauma effects. Recovery includes dietary restrictions and monitoring for proper bone healing.
