Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants are surgical-grade titanium posts that replace missing tooth roots. Our specialists place implants to support crowns, bridges, or dentures, restoring natural chewing function and preventing bone loss. With proper placement and osseointegration, implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that look and feel like natural teeth.
Same Day Crowns
Utilizing advanced CAD/CAM technology, we create custom dental crowns in a single appointment. This digital process eliminates traditional impressions, temporary crowns, and multiple visits. Our same-day restorations maintain precise fit and strength while preserving more natural tooth structure during preparation.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
This comprehensive treatment rebuilds all teeth in one or both dental arches. Combining implants, crowns, and prosthetics, we restore bite alignment, facial aesthetics, and oral functionality. Each plan addresses individual wear patterns, congenital defects, or trauma-related damage through coordinated prosthodontic interventions.
Dentures
We provide customized complete and partial dentures that restore missing teeth arrangements. Our implant-stabilized dentures offer enhanced retention compared to traditional removable prosthetics. Each set is fabricated for natural appearance and optimized chewing efficiency through precise occlusal adjustments.
Prosthodontic Consultation
Initial evaluations include comprehensive oral assessments and treatment recommendations. Our specialists develop detailed restoration plans considering long-term maintenance, material biocompatibility, and aesthetic expectations. This strategic approach ensures coordinated implementation of complex dental rehabilitation procedures.

Questions
What distinguishes prosthodontic care from general dentistry?
Prosthodontics focuses specifically on restoring missing teeth and jaw structures through specialized techniques. Our board-certified prosthodontist has three additional years of advanced training beyond dental school, with expertise in complex reconstructions and implant treatments.
Are dental implants suitable for all patients?
Implant treatment requires sufficient bone density for successful integration. We conduct detailed assessments to determine candidacy and may recommend bone grafting when necessary to ensure long-term implant stability and success.
How does same-day crown technology differ from traditional methods?
CEREC technology allows us to digitally design and mill crowns onsite during a single appointment. This eliminates multiple visits, temporary crowns, and conventional impressions while maintaining precise marginal adaptation for optimal longevity.
What payment options are available?
We accept major credit cards, dental insurance, and offer flexible payment plans through CareCredit. Our staff works with patients to maximize insurance benefits while providing transparent treatment cost estimates before beginning any procedures.
What experience does the team have?
Our practice combines 45+ years of collective clinical experience. Dr. Giroux has maintained board certification through the American Board of Prosthodontics since 2010, and most staff members have served patients for at least 15 years.
