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.

What Is a One-Piece Dental Implant? [A Video Guide]
Before the Band-Aid, caring for a cut required patience and parts: gauze, tape, scissors, and a steady hand. It worked, but it wasn’t simple. Then someone realized that the pieces didn’t have to stay separate. That small act of joining what already existed created something entirely new, a solution so practical it became second nature. So, what is a [...]
A Closer Look at the Smile Makeover Process
When we hear the word “makeover,” our minds often go straight to a movie montage.

Or we picture a home renovation show, where the walls are knocked down and the camera pans across a space that feels brighter, [...]

What Are Clear Aligners and Why Are They So Popular?

Denture Stabilization Made Simple With Mini Dental Implants
A tent can provide shelter from both rain and sun. But it’s not the kind of structure anyone would call dependable. It does the job in fair weather, but once the wind picks up, the fabric rattles, the stakes loosen, and the whole setup feels unsteady. Traditional dentures work much the same way. They allow you to smile, speak, [...]
What To Expect With Mini Implants: Benefits, Process, and Results
Your smile is like a team where every player has a purpose. The front teeth are the quick passers that cut and tear food into smaller pieces.

Together, this lineup works [...]
The Case for Zirconia Teeth: Why They Offer a More Natural, Lasting Smile
At first glance, the word zirconia sounds like it belongs in the pages of a comic book or the script of a sci-fi movie. You can almost imagine it as the unbreakable alloy that fuels a superhero’s armor, or the mysterious crystal powering a starship’s engine. Think of vibranium in Black Panther, adamantium in X-Men, or even kyber crystals [...]
