Many patients want to know how long it takes to get an implant-supported crown. With traditional implants, the process can take four to six months. With mini implants, it’s typically only three to six weeks, depending on the individual case. Mini implants are nonsurgical, meaning we don’t expose or reshape the bone in most situations. In about 99% of cases, the implant is placed directly with minimal trauma, and it begins with roughly 50% integration from the start. The result is faster healing and far less disruption to the body. If you’re looking for a quicker, more affordable, and less traumatic way to replace missing teeth with implants, schedule a free consultation.

Cosmetic dentistry offers many treatment options, including orthodontics, veneers, crowns, and even cosmetic fillings. I also remove mercury fillings safely, and in some cases the metal becomes visible through the outer tooth surface when you smile. All of these issues are treatable. If you’d like to discuss your concerns and explore affordable solutions, schedule a consultation.

Many patients ask whether I provide full dentures, and the answer is yes. I also offer implant-supported dentures for patients who have too little ridge to hold a traditional denture in place. With these, the denture can snap onto the implants for stable function, and you can remove it easily for cleaning and maintenance. It’s a convenient and reliable option. In some cases, if your existing denture is well-made, I can place implants to stabilize it without needing a new one. However, the bite is often the limiting factor; a poorly aligned bite can make successful denture treatment impossible. I focus heavily on bite accuracy, and I design dentures to place your bite exactly where it should be. If you’re considering dentures, we have multiple solutions to choose from. Call the office to schedule a consultation so we can determine what you need.
