Take this test and change your life.

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Take this test and change your life.  Research has shown, not just once or twice but repeatedly, that for most people your smile outranks your eyes, hair and body as your most attractive feature.  It is probably also the first thing you notice or avoid when you look in the mirror or at a photograph of yourself. Only you know how your smile has affected your happiness and success.

Ask yourself:

Are you totally happy with the way your teeth and smile look?

Do you habitually hide your smile with your lips or your hands when you smile?

Do you try not to smile in front of others, especially people you don’t know or have terrific smiles?

When the camera comes out do you avoid smiling?

Would you like a smile that makes you feel proud and confident?

Once you have decided to improve your smile Dr. Lerner, Dr. Lemongello and our dental team is here to help you explore your options to improve your smile.  Teeth whitening, Veneers, Crowns, Implants, Invisalign all can help create your ideal smile often in only one or two visits.  We look forward to helping you pass this test.

Why do I need a Temporary Crown for my Implant

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Recently one of our doctors was asked why it is necessary to have a temporary crown made for an implant?  This is a good question.  The reason a temporary is necessary, especially with a front tooth, is the role the implant temporary plays in healing.  When an implant temporary is placed it helps guide the gum tissue to grow around the implant in a natural way.  It also provides a foundation to support the gum so it doesn’t collapse and loose its shape.  Without a temporary a space can develop around the implant tooth leaving a gap between the teeth making the tooth look unnatural.  Our goal is to provide the most natural restoration possible.

The placement of an Implant Crown

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Today in our office we completed the placement of an implant crown on a patient with a missing front tooth.  This patient had the misfortune of fracturing his front tooth.  Working with our team of highly skilled surgeons the tooth was removed and a dental implant placed.  Special training and techniques are needed to make the implant tooth and more importantly the gum around it look real.  We work with nationally recognized specialists who have the necessary surgical training to properly place the implant and cultivate the correct environment for success.  The surgical expertise is equally important for a beautiful successful outcome.  Once healing was complete a provisional implant crown was created using specialized techniques to guide the gum tissue to grow and look natural around the implant.  The final all ceramic zirconium crown was fabricated by a master ceramist and cemented in place.  The result was a beautiful lifelike match to his other front teeth.

Is it better to have an Implant or a Root Canal?

Friday, September 4th, 2009

Is it better to have an Implant or a Root Canal?  This is a good question.  Let’s discuss dental implants.  If the tooth in question is not structurally sound than an implant should be considered and may be your best choice.  If less than at least 1/3 of your natural tooth remains there may not be enough tooth left to restore.  A root canal could be completed but the difficulty lies in restoring the tooth with long term success in mind.  There is a minimal amount of tooth structure necessary to restore a tooth.  If there is not enough to structure left than a large post or strut will most likely be required to help support a crown.  If the ratio of the post to crown is poor than the post itself may also weekend the tooth even more.  If there is not enough tooth structure left than the tooth should be removed and an implant and crown placed.  Otherwise you may be investing a lot of money to save a tooth with a poor prognosis.  Our office and Dr. Lerner or Dr. Lemongello can discuss your situation and advise you on your best option.
