Smile Transformation Stories
You Deserve To Smile Again!
Your oral health problems affect your day to day life in ways that many people with healthy teeth take for granted. From struggling to eat the foods you want, the anxiety and embarrassment that drives you to avoid social situations, and maybe even having to deal with chronic pain on a daily basis - living with a damaged smile can be downright debilitating.
We hear stories every day of the physical and emotional pain caused by failing oral health, but we also get the joy of seeing peoples’ lives changed by the miracle of dental implants.
It is our greatest pleasure to witness a patient come out of treatment and greet the world with not only a transformed smile, but also a transformed life!
How would dental implants change YOUR life?
Understand Your Tooth Replacement Options
Single Implant
If you have a single missing tooth, a single implant is the best option as it is a lifelong solution that can replace any missing tooth without having to harm the teeth on either side.
Implant Secured Bridge
If you are missing several teeth in a row, an implant secured bridge is likely your best option as you can bridge the gap in your smile with just one implant on either side.
Implant Secured Denture
The implant secured denture, also known as an over-denture, is the best option for the average middle class person who wants the benefits of implants (such as stability of bite and saving the jaw bone structure) but also wants something more affordable than a full fixed arch.
Full Fixed Arch
The full fixed arch is the best option when it comes to replacing missing teeth. A custom-made arch creates the perfect, gorgeous smile you've always dreamed of, and is secured by 4-8 implants per arch.
A full fixed arch looks and functions just like natural teeth and allows you to achieve a Hollywood ready smile!
