Endo therapy is performed by creating a very small tunnel in the top of the tooth, using a series of very narrow nickel-titanium files to travel down the pulp space or root canals to remove the affected pulp tissue and then finally shaping, disinfecting and then filling and sealing the pulp space. Once it is filled, the tooth can be restored. Teeth that have undergone endo therapy almost always have to be restored with a crown. This is because once endo therapy has been done, the tooth is no longer receiving any internal circulation and will desiccate or dry out. This is similar to the differ

Wisdom teeth or 3rd molars are one of those evolutionary leftovers like the appendix or the tailbone that don't really "fit" or serve a real function in most people. Unfortunately in most people when the wisdom teeth start to erupt in late adolescence, they often times either erupt crooked or erupt into a space that is too small to properly house them. They then only serve to damage the teeth in front of them, cause pain and increase the chance of infection. So we see that most people need to have their wisdom teeth removed at some point between adolescence and adulthood.

Ceramic crowns are lifelike and have coloring and light reflecting properties that more resemble natural teeth. Add these esthetic properties of ceramics with the color matching advantage of Dr. Stanton’s same-day dentistry approach, and you have a restoration you can be truly confident in and show off your smile to family and friends. Plus, because the crowns are all-ceramic and have no metal, you will never see “black lines” around the edges like you would in an older-style Porcelain-Fused to Metal (PFM Crown).

Using a small 1cc tuberculin syringe, Botox is injected with and a very short and narrow 32 gauge needle. It works only where it is injected so treating an upper forehead zone, for example, might require 8 tiny injections while the lower forehead and frown lines between the eyebrows might require 6. There is no preoperative preparation needed and the patient can resume normal activities right away. The effect of the Botox can be seen in 5-7 days and usually last around 3-4 months. The sooner a patient starts, the more likely that the areas being treated with be wrinkle free.

One of the most common things we hear when discussing veneers is "Oh I've seen veneers before. They look so fake. They're too thick, white and unnatural." Unfortunately, there are veneers done every day by dentists that do not fully understand all the necessary principles of veneer preparation and esthetics, and thus get results with veneers that look unnatural. These unesthetic are the cases that stand out and get noticed. If veneers are done properly, you will not notice them, and you will simply think you are talking to someone who has really nice teeth!

Ultimately, true smile designers must be masters of many principles including mathematic, physical, chemical, biological and technical. If any one of these is either neglected or miscalculated, it will affect the final result in some way ranging from color to shape to durability. Many dentists who perform cosmetic dentistry have not been properly trained or do not have the sufficient amount of experience to predictably perform any and all smile design and full mouth rehab cases on anyone. That's how they get in trouble with cases that fail prematurely, never look right from the beginning and

CEREC is one of the leading CAD/CAM systems available in dentistry today. The acronym stands for “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics”. Essentially, this technology eliminates the need for an outside dental lab, making in-office fabrication possible the very same day. To take impressions, Dr. Stanton will use a small handheld wand. As he passes the device over the teeth, a camera captures thousands of images, stitches them together, and sends them to our computer software program. There, Dr. Stanton can virtually design your crowns and veneers, crafting them to fit your uniq

When a tooth suffers this level of damage, the tooth is numbed and prepared. Preparation involves reshaping the tooth to the proper height and shape so as to receive and support the crown that slips over and fits onto the tooth like two jigsaw puzzle pieces fitting together or a hand sliding into a custom-made glove. Traditionally and unfortunately in 95% of offices, the next step is to take a mold/impression of the prepped tooth to send off to the lab and then make a temporary crown that the patient wears for 2-4 weeks until the permanent crown comes back from the lab. Fortunately in our off

Complete dentures are done when all of the teeth in either or both arches are missing. Traditional complete dentures consist of an acrylic type base with plastic teeth bonded to it. The base is shaped to be a mirror of the patients remaining gums after tooth loss. As you can imagine, with acrylic simply sitting on gum, there is no way to create a set precise fitting point so patients often resort to adhesives to try to help the dentures stick. However, most denture patients still are not able to eat a complete diet and have to avoid chewy or hard foods or else the dentures will loosen. Lower

An implant to replace a single missing tooth is placed where the root of the missing tooth used to be. After a healing time of usually 3-4 months, the implant has fully fused with the patient's bone and can be loaded with forces via a crown or a bridge. So essentially, the implant acts in the same manner as the root of the tooth that used to be there. For multiple tooth loss, the options become more complicated in terms of dental implant placement. They can be placed in multiple different locations to support whatever restoration the doctor has chosen to replace the missing teeth with. Even i
