If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants are the only tooth replacement solution to restore your entire tooth structure, including the roots. As such, dental implants offer more excellent stability, strength, and longevity than traditional restorations. In addition, dental implants can prevent jawbone deterioration, which helps preserve your facial structure.

If you have multiple dental issues, full-mouth reconstruction is a multistage process involving different types of treatment. While the primary goal of full mouth restoration is to rebuild or restore your dental function, many procedures also benefit cosmetic dentistry.
You may be a perfect candidate for full mouth reconstruction if you have extensive decay and severely worn teeth, incurred dental trauma, or have a painful bite that requires alignment. Blending three decades of experience with top-quality materials and techniques, Dr. Painter will restore your bite and function and deliver a perfectly balanced smile with full-mouth dental implants and other solutions.
Dental treatment costs can vary from person to person, depending on the treatment you need. When we recommend a specific treatment, we will discuss pricing on the treatment plan and explain the different financing options that fit your needs. We offer 3rd party financing and insurance options to fit almost everyone’s financial needs.
Our office gladly accepts walk-ins and emergency cases. Dental emergencies are unexpected and sometimes can be terrifying, depending on the type of dental emergency. We treat emergencies from persistent toothache to knocked-out teeth! If you are experiencing anything besides a dental emergency, contact 911 to seek medical treatment.
We recommend coming in for your cleanings every six months. In a perfect world, everyone would brush and floss twice a day. Over time, plaque builds up, and this sticky-like bacterial film can solidify and turn into calculus or tartar. The hygienist removes this cement-like substance at regular cleaning visits, preventing future complications and periodontal disease. This helps keep your mouth healthy and clean and allows potential problems to be found and diagnosed earlier.
We recommend sensitivity toothpaste, which contains strontium chloride or potassium nitrate. It is very effective in treating sensitive teeth. After a few weeks of use, you may notice a decrease in sensitivity. Highly acidic foods such as oranges, grapefruits, and lemons, as well as tea and soda, can increase tooth sensitivity and work against sensitivity toothpaste. If you do not get relief by brushing gently and using desensitizing toothpaste, schedule an appointment so we can check your oral health.
In today’s dentistry, there are many options that we can use to help replace your missing tooth. If you’re missing a single tooth or a few right next to each other, we can restore them using a dental bridge. If your tooth loss is a little more extensive and you’re looking for a more permanent solution, we may suggest dental implants. Both options offer a complete smile solution so you can leave with a beautiful smile on the same day.
