If you are missing a single tooth—whether in the front or back, or if all teeth have been extracted and the area has healed—we can restore it within two appointments.
First, we take a cone beam scan and an impression, which we send to the laboratory to fabricate a surgical stent and a custom crown. Once we receive all necessary components from the lab, you return for the second appointment. The procedure involves standard local anesthesia, though sedation is available for patients with dental anxiety.
In just two visits, we can place your new tooth, fully functional and ready for use.

Attachment-Free Clear Aligners: Are They Effective?
When people think about clear aligners, they usually picture smooth, transparent trays that fit over the teeth. What often comes as a surprise is that many aligner treatments also rely on small additions placed directly on the teeth. These are called clear aligner attachments. Attachments are small, tooth-colored pieces of composite resin that we bond to certain teeth at [...]
Understanding Dental Anxiety: Causes, Symptoms, and Support
You cannot see anxiety the way you can see a cut or a bruise. But many people carry it with them every day.

In clinical terms, anxiety becomes a diagnosis only when it [...]

When you think about full arch teeth supported by implants, you might wonder if they offer a stronger, more dependable option than what you have now.

Think about a simple [...]
Are Implant Dentures Better Than Regular Dentures? [A Video Guide]
Sometimes we do not realize how much we have adapted to limitations until something better shows up. You trade in a car you have driven for a decade and suddenly notice how smooth the steering feels.

Psychologists describe this as a natural preference for symmetry and order, the same instinct that makes a neatly arranged shelf or a perfectly aligned picture frame feel satisfying. Our brains process these patterns more easily, so they feel calm, clear, [...]
Making Sense of Dental Implant Financing
For many people, the biggest pause in any dental decision comes down to cost. It is instinctive to look at a treatment option and immediately ask two questions: what will this cost me, and what do I gain from it? When it comes to dental implants, the second question is often easier to answer than the first. Implant treatment [...]
Invisalign Treatment: Is It Right for You?
Invisalign treatment is often framed as something entirely different from braces, when in reality, the goal remains the same. Both approaches guide teeth into healthier, more balanced positions over time. The difference lies less in what the treatment accomplishes and more in how it fits into everyday life. Invisalign treatment builds on the same orthodontic principles, but it changes [...]
Are Mini Implants Cheaper Than Regular Implants? [A Video Guide]
As many people navigate tooth replacement options, they often face a surprising yet important question: “Are mini dental implants cheaper than regular implants?” In many cases, yes. Their slimmer structure frequently simplifies parts of the procedure, which can influence the overall cost.
