The Cerec system can be used to produce a realistic-looking crown while you wait. This modern advancement uses digital 3D modeling to ensure your new tooth is a perfect fit.
Dental implants accurately mimic natural teeth lost or broken due to injury or decay.
How does the dental implant procedure work? A surgical-grade titanium implant is placed into the jaw bone, where your tooth’s root would naturally exist. After the implant has healed and integrated with the bone, an abutment is added to form a transition for a new crown. Finally, this crown is cemented to the abutment and the restoration is complete.
As one of the most desirable ways to replace broken or missing teeth, dental implants provide a range of benefits. In addition to appearing and functioning just like natural teeth, implants save and promote the growth of bone. In addition, implants do not require neighboring teeth to be altered in any way.
Feeling a bit uneasy about getting dental implants? Don’t — Dentus dentists draw on specialized training to expertly perform the procedure while making sure you remain comfortable.

For shallow tooth decay, Dentus offers air abrasion dentistry, avoiding the unpopular dental drill when possible. What’s air abrasion dentistry? Using tiny abrasive particles suspended in puffs of air, the technique removes areas of decay from teeth — without requiring anesthetic shots. While not applicable for every situation, it’s one more thing that allows Dentus’ dentists to be ultra-conservative and retain as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Dentus carefully performs all tooth extractions using the latest tools, techniques and procedures, ensuring you a comfortable visit and quick recovery. While we always try to save a viable tooth, some teeth are beyond saving and must be extracted. Extractions are most commonly needed when there is inadequate tooth structure remaining, or a lack of healthy bone to support the tooth. Other indications for extractions may include lack of necessary space for new tooth eruption (this is especially common with wisdom teeth) or a need to create more space for orthodontic treatment. Once a tooth is extracted, there are several options to replace the tooth and restore lost function.
