Professional Teeth Cleaning
A dental prophylaxis is a cleaning treatment performed to thoroughly clean the teeth and gums.

Bruxism Treatment
Bruxism is an oral parafunctional activity that commonly occurs in most people at some point in their lives.
Dental Implants
A natural tooth consists of a root and a crown. If you compare natural teeth to implant-supported replacement teeth, you will see they have the same basic parts. Both have a crown (the visible part used to chew food). Both have a root that holds the tooth securely under the gum and is anchored into the jaw. The difference is that the implant is made of titanium—the same time-tested material used by surgeons for artificial joints.
Dental Implants Overview
The procedure to place a dental implant takes 30 to 60 minutes for one implant and only 2 to 3 hours for multiple implants.
Bone Grafting for Implants
After tooth extraction, if the walls of the socket are very thick, they will usually fill naturally with bone in two to three months.
Teeth-In-An-Hour™
Teeth-In-An-Hour™ is a revolutionary concept providing patients with fully functioning teeth on dental implants.
Cost of Dental Implants
Dental implants have been available for several decades. However, for most patients, they are still a relatively new concept.
