▸How often should I visit a dentist for routine checkups and cleanings?

For most patients, visiting the dentist twice a year is recommended for routine checkups and professional cleanings.

▸What are dental implants, and how do they replace missing teeth?

Dental implants are crafted to be a long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a small titanium post placed in the jawbone, which acts as a prosthetic tooth root. Once healed, a custom crown is attached and designed to restore both function and appearance. Implants can help maintain jawbone structure and prevent the shifting of surrounding teeth.
