Our Services
-
Implantology
Dental implants are surgically placed where teeth are missing. Implants replace the roots of missing teeth and support single crowns, large bridges, and dentures. State-of-the-art technology makes it possible for these implant-supported replacement teeth to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
-
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry consists of any dental work that improves the appearance of a person’s smile. Cosmetic dentistry may range from simple teeth whitening to bonding, porcelain veneers or full mouth restoration. Prosthodontists are the only ADA-recognized dental specialists with formal training in creating beautiful smiles.
