SERVICES

Full Mouth Reconstruction
A full mouth restoration, reconstruction, rehabilitation are terms used to describe a dental procedure in which every major issue in mouth is addressed and in the same treatment plan taken care of in a brief period of time. Basically all teeth in the upper and lower jaws are addressed and given a solution.
All on 4/6/8
The all on 4/6/8 treatment consists normally of the extraction of remaining teeth, placement of implants and final restoration with a complete fixed denture attached to said implants. This is the treatment indicated when teeth are decayed or have periodontal disease and it is not advisable to continue to restore them. Our interest is to provide an esthetic durable and quality restoration.


Crowns and Veneers
Veneers are a cosmetic procedure made to reshape a chipped or broken tooth, for tooth discoloration, to extend the length of a tooth, to make teeth whiter, to reshape the line of your teeth or to give a beautiful new smile. Veneers cover the visible portion of the tooth or teeth and are minimally prepped. In some cases we can place veneers with little or no preparation. Full crowns work is indicated when there has been root canal work, when a lot of tooth structure has been damaged or lost, or when a tooth has become cracked, broken or chipped.
