Dental Implants

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once the implant integrates with the bone, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore your smile. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Most adults in good general health are candidates for dental implants. The ideal candidate has adequate jawbone density, healthy gums, and is committed to maintaining good oral hygiene. During your consultation, Dr. Lee will evaluate your oral health and determine the best treatment approach for you.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The implant itself is made of biocompatible titanium that fuses with your jawbone. The crown attached to the implant may need to be replaced after 10–15 years due to normal wear, but the implant post is designed to be a permanent solution.

What is the All-on-4 procedure?

All-on-4 is an advanced implant technique that replaces an entire arch of teeth using just four strategically placed dental implants. This procedure allows patients to receive a full set of fixed, non-removable teeth in as little as one day. It is an excellent solution for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth.

Cosmetic Dentistry

What cosmetic dental services do you offer?

We offer a comprehensive range of cosmetic dental services including porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, orthodontics (including Invisalign), inlays and onlays, and gummy smile correction. Dr. Lee will work with you to create a customized treatment plan to achieve the smile you have always wanted.

How long does teeth whitening last?

Professional teeth whitening results typically last between 6 months and 2 years, depending on your dietary habits and oral hygiene routine. Avoiding foods and beverages that stain teeth (such as coffee, tea, and red wine) and maintaining regular dental cleanings can help prolong your results.

What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They can correct a wide range of cosmetic concerns including chips, cracks, stains, gaps, and misalignment. Veneers are durable, stain-resistant, and can last 10–15 years or more with proper care.
