Dental Implants
Report
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason. Did you know that 69% of adults between the ages of 35-44 have lost one or more of their permanent teeth?
Implant Supported Dentures
Report
Dentures are replacements for missing teeth that can be taken out and put back into your mouth. While dentures take some getting used to and will never feel exactly the same as one's natural teeth, today's dentures are natural-looking and more comfortable than ever. There are two main types of dentures: full and partial.
Bone Grafting
Report
Bone grafting, also known as bone augmentation, is a safe and highly successful procedue that involves the "building up" or additing to the jaw or supporting teeth. This can be done by using your own natural bone from inside your mouth and/or by using donor, processed or synthetic bone materials. Bone grafts help your body to regenerate bone.
Sinus Lift
Report
Often patients who have lost teeth in the upper jaw require a sinus lift in order to have dental implants placed. The bone in the area where are missing naturally begins to shrink, or resorbs overtime. As a result, the sinuses expand and occupying the empty bone space. The sinus must be placed in its orginal position and bone placed to securely place the implant.
Sedation
Report

There are three different options in which sedation can be administered, such as oral, conscious or IV sedation. Dr. Lanier will provide the best method for you, to alleviate your fears!
