Frequently Asked Questions

What is an implant and is it right for me?

Dental implants are the closest replacement to a natural tooth. A dental implant is a metallic titanium post that is inserted into the jawbone. Like other titanium implants, such as hip replacements, the titanium integrates into the bone and creates a solid foundation for us to build on. We use this foundation for a variety of restorations such as a single tooth replacement or to anchor bridges or dentures. You can learn more about implants in our library. An implant is a restoration that is not for everyone, so please schedule an appointment with our implant specialist to see if you are a candidate for this procedure.

What exactly is a CEREC restoration?

A CEREC restoration is a metal-free restoration. It is a revolutionary technology that uses infrared photography and a computerized robotic milling system to fabricate a variety of restorations out of porcelain. The advantage to this system is an esthetic restoration without the hassle of multiple appointments and messy impressions. To learn more about these restorations please visit our library.
