Implants
Once
you learn about dental implants, you finally realize there is a way to
improve your life. When you

titanium tooth roots your dentist can offer replacement teeth that look,
feel and function just like natural teeth.
Dental implants can be your doorway to renewed self-confidence and
peace of mind.

WISDOM
TEETH
Wisdom
teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to develop and appear in the
mouth. Many times the jaws of modern
humans are not large enough to accommodate the four wisdom teeth.
This is why wisdom teeth cause more problems than any other teeth in
the mouth. In fact, for nine
out of ten people at least one wisdom tooth remains underneath the gum due
to lack of space in the mouth. |

bones and teeth are not correctly developed. This results in difficulty with
chewing, speech, and jaw function. In many cases, the facial appearance is
affected by this problem. Orthognathic means "straight jaws", and
orthognathic surgery corrects these jaw and facial deformities, usually in
conjunction with an orthodontist, so that after the jaws are corrected, the
teeth will come together properly.
Trauma
Surgery
Injuries
to the face, by their very nature, impart a high degree of emotional, as
well as physical trauma to patients. The science and art of treating these
injuries requires special training involving a "hands on"
experience and an understanding of how the treatment provided will influence
the patient's long term function and appearance.
