Same day crowns are exactly as their name states – if you need a crown, you can get it from your dentist during your visit without having to wait for a dental lab to create it.

A perfect smile means different things to different people. Someone might have one crooked tooth or a large gap between their front teeth and they love it.

Don’t worry – there is always a way to get the flawless smile you want.

Did you know that HSAs and FSAs can be used toward many types of dental care? If you have a flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA), the time has come to review what funds remain so you can use up the benefits you have already paid for before these 365 days come to an end. This just might be your path to a fresh, flawless smile for the holidays and the New Year.

You have a missing tooth or missing teeth. This fact should automatically qualify you to be a dental implants candidate, right? Not necessarily. Every dental restoration begins with a thorough dental exam to ensure that your mouth can handle such a repair.
