Missing Teeth? Multiple Solutions Available
Missing teeth affect more than just your appearance—they can impact your ability to eat, speak, and feel confident. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers several excellent options for tooth replacement, each with unique advantages for different situations.
Dental Implants
The gold standard for tooth replacement. Dental implants replace both the tooth and root, providing the most natural-looking and feeling solution. Learn more about our dental implant restoration services.
- Most affordable option
- No surgery needed
- Can be adjusted easily
- Quick treatment time
- Reversible treatment
- Removable appliance
- May affect speech initially
- Regular adjustments needed
- Less stable than implants
The Dental Implant Surgery Process
Understanding the dental implant process helps patients feel more comfortable and prepared. Here's what you can expect during your implant journey with Dr. Almanzar:
Initial Consultation & Planning
Comprehensive examination including 3D imaging to assess bone structure and plan your treatment. We'll discuss your options, answer questions, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals.
Implant Placement Surgery
The titanium implant is carefully placed into the jawbone using precise surgical techniques and computer-guided placement. Most patients report minimal discomfort during this procedure, which typically takes 1-2 hours.
Healing Period (Osseointegration)
Over 3-6 months, the implant fuses with your natural bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong, permanent foundation for your new tooth. Temporary teeth may be provided during this time.
Abutment Placement
A small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant, which will support your final crown. This minor procedure typically requires only local anesthesia.
Crown Placement & Final Results
Once healing is complete, we attach a custom-made crown that matches your natural teeth perfectly in color, shape, and function. Your new tooth will look, feel, and function just like a natural tooth.
Straightening Solutions: From Traditional Braces to Invisalign
Misaligned teeth don't just affect your smile's appearance—they can also impact your oral health. Crooked or crowded teeth are harder to clean effectively, leading to increased risk of decay and gum disease. Fortunately, modern orthodontics offers several excellent options for achieving straight, healthy teeth.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
The nearly invisible way to straighten teeth. Custom-made clear aligners gradually move your teeth into the perfect position without the appearance of traditional braces. Perfect for adults and teens who want discreet treatment.
- Virtually invisible appearance
- Removable for eating and cleaning
- Comfortable and smooth
- Fewer office visits required
- No dietary restrictions
- Predictable results with 3D modeling
Traditional Orthodontics
Modern braces are more comfortable and efficient than ever before. They remain the most effective solution for complex alignment issues and severe bite problems.
- Effective for severe cases
- Precise control of tooth movement
- Proven long-term results
- Various aesthetic options available
- Most comprehensive treatment
- Suitable for all age groups
Both orthodontic options can dramatically improve not only the appearance of your smile but also your oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease while improving overall function.
Brighten Your Smile: Professional Teeth Whitening
Discolored teeth can make you look older and less vibrant. Professional teeth whitening can dramatically improve your smile's appearance, often making you look years younger and more confident.
Professional Cleaning First
Before any whitening treatment, we recommend a thorough professional cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains. This ensures the best possible whitening results and healthier gums.
- Removes surface stains
- Improves gum health
- Enhances whitening effectiveness
- Fresher breath
In-Office Whitening
Get dramatic results in just one visit. Our professional-strength whitening treatments can lighten teeth by several shades in about an hour, with results lasting 1-3 years.
- Immediate dramatic results
- Professional supervision
- Safe for enamel
- Long-lasting effects
Take-Home Whitening Kits
Custom-fitted trays with professional-grade whitening gel allow you to whiten your teeth at your convenience while achieving professional results over 1-2 weeks.
- Convenient home treatment
- Custom-fitted trays
- Professional-grade gel
- Gradual, comfortable whitening
