Our team is here to provide expert guidance and help you restore your smile with confidence.
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a replacement for the roots of missing teeth. Once the implant integrates with the bone, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is placed on top, restoring the appearance and function of your natural teeth.
Most people with missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates have healthy gums, sufficient bone density, and good overall health. If you have insufficient bone, bone grafting procedures can sometimes be performed to build up the jawbone before implant placement.
Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. The implant itself can remain in place for several decades, while the restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) may need to be replaced after 10-15 years, depending on wear and tear.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the color of your teeth by removing stains and discoloration. It can be done in-office by a dentist or at home using whitening products prescribed by your dentist. The procedure uses either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to break down stains.
Teeth whitening results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on your lifestyle habits. Avoiding foods and drinks that stain your teeth (like coffee, tea, and red wine) can help prolong the results.
Yes, when performed by a professional or using dentist-approved at-home treatments, teeth whitening is completely safe. It's important to follow the recommended guidelines to avoid overuse, which can lead to tooth sensitivity or gum irritation.
Teeth whitening is most effective for yellowish stains. It may be less effective for teeth that are stained from medications or trauma. Your dentist can help determine if teeth whitening is right for you.
