If you’ve lost or damaged any of your teeth, you don’t need to settle for an imperfect smile. Thanks to implants and veneers, a skilled dentist can still restore your smile to its original look. At the practice of Dr. David K. Skeels, in Rochester, NY, these options are available for patients seeking an effective solution that will stand the test of time. In his relaxed office, the dentist will evaluate your teeth and determine the best treatment option for you.

Implants: Restoring Smiles For Life

Before dental implants were widely available, patients who had lost teeth typically had to replace them with dentures. Although dentures are still appropriate and useful for many patients, implants offer a solution that don’t need to be removed and feel more like natural teeth. It can take several months to receive them, but they tend to last for an entire lifetime.

The process begins with a dental X-Ray. From there, you’ll be referred to a specialist to have the implant inserted in place. As your jaw heals, an impression of your teeth is made so that the dentist can design a replacement tooth that fits in your mouth perfectly. Once your jaw has healed, a connector post is added, and the replacement crown is placed over it.

Veneers Offer The Perfect Smile

If your teeth have become discolored over the years and teeth whitening is no longer enough to correct the problem, a dental professional will offer porcelain veneers to bring back the beauty of your smile. Veneers are covers designed to fit perfectly over the front of your teeth. Made from porcelain, they last years and look perfect.
