Thank you Dr. Lunstrum for the great experience and quality work you have done on my teeth. I am usually apprehensive about needles and it was no sweat at all. In fact, I am ready for the next needle, thanks to your gentle touch. I have been very pleased with your professional, yet personable, service.

At your hygiene visit you'll receive a gentle, professional cleaning by one of our hygienists - as well as an Oral Cancer Screening by Dr. Lunstrum. Some visits will include x-rays to help diagnose conditions or probing (measuring) of the gum tissue around the teeth to ascertain your periodontal health.

A Tooth Filling is a common restorative dental procedure that treats the effects of cavities. After a cavity is identified and any decay is removed from a tooth, the tooth is then "filled" in with a material in order to fill the gap and to stabilize it. Materials used for fillings can be metal, porcelain, or composite.

A missing tooth can be replaced by an implant (basically a titanium screw in your jaw) which takes the place of the tooth root. Upon that, a crown would be placed. This, of course, is a simplified explanation but it gives you the general idea.

Depending on the quality and quantity of the bone in the area of the desired implant, it may take months to improve the area (bone graft) and then additional time for an implant to fully integrate (essentially when the rebuilding bone binds around the implant threads) prior to having it restored with a crown.
