ZOOM treatments are performed in-office to protect your gum tissues. Special resins are applied in order to protect tissues outside of your teeth. A high concentration of peroxide activated by a high-intensity light is applied multiple times to the teeth to remove stains.
Losing a tooth is an awful experience but the problem can be resolved with implants. This patient suffered a traumatic blow to the face knocking his front tooth out. An "immediate" implant was surgically placed at our office. Six months later, it was restored with a permanent crown. The patient was happy with the results and that it was accomplished without bridgework. A composite tooth was bonded in to serve as a temporary over the six-month healing period.
Claude came to our office with difficulty chewing with his existing dentures and lower tooth pain. After discussing treatment options, we decided on a lower fixed bar overdenture, removing his lower troubled teeth, and a new upper denture. This treatment offers a lot of stability when chewing due to the way the bar and denture snap together. All the components are hidden when the dentures are in place, so it looks very natural.
This patient had gum disease, decay, old filling, and spacing issues! After listening carefully to his concerns and doing a detailed exam with x-rays, we discussed treatment, cost, and time frame. The treatment was comprehensive, evolving detailed cleaning of teeth, periodontal surgery, fillings, and ceramic crowns.
Grace came to our office with difficulty chewing with her lower denture. After discussing treatment options, we decided on placing two implants with attachments to be used with an overdenture. This is an economical and very esthetic way to stabilize a lower denture. All implants and snap ring components are hidden. Since the denture is mostly supported by soft tissue, more care to the denture base relines is needed for optimal stability over the years in use.
Jonell came to our office after years of struggling without teeth. Full dentures interfered with her gag reflex, were uncomfortable to use, and kept falling out. After an exam with x-rays, we decided on implants with fixed bridgework to restore her lost teeth. This process involves placing implants in the upper and lower jaw, leaving them unrestored for six months until they are healed, and then doing restorative dentistry to build the teeth on them. We modified her old dentures for temporary use over this period until we completed her case. Start to finish this case took about eight months.
David came to our office concerned about his dental health and the looks of his teeth. He was an avid soda drinker and had been struggling with chips, cavities, cracks, missing teeth, and occasional toothaches. We discussed his goals, did an exam, and considered treatment options. We decided on a comprehensive plan to get him healthy and improve the appearance of his teeth. Treatment evolved cleaning, fillings, bridgework, crowns, and cosmetic restoration of the front teeth with all ceramic crowns.
