All-on-Four ® Implant Supported Fixed Dentures

If you are a patient who has difficulties chewing with complete dentures, has a severe periodontal disease, or has multiple broken and non-restorable teeth with aesthetic problems, the implant-supported fixed hybrid is right for you. The process involves the placement of dental implants, followed by a period of healing and restoration with an aesthetically pleasing and functional oral prosthesis. This requires advanced knowledge of the implant restorative procedure, much higher education and understanding of dental implants, an actual post-dental school Prosthetic training, and many years of actual experience of dealing with hybrid dentures.

Improve your smile by considering Invisalign ® (Clear Orthodontic Trays):

If you have unattractive teeth and smile due to overcrowding, large gaps between teeth, crossbite, overbite, or underbite. Invisalign® offers an almost invisible aligning system that straightens teeth without traditional metal braces. Invisalign® consists of a series of custom-made aligning trays. These trays allow movement of specific teeth over time to straighten your teeth to the desired position. If you are interested in keeping a better smile, contact us to see on why Invisalign® is right for you.
