Lower Jaw Mini Implants and Lower Denture

Lower Jaw Mini Implants and Lower Denture

In the past, one of the most common issues concerning both full and partial dentures was stability. Thankfully, there is a solution that many of our Oyster Bay Family Dentists patients have come to rely upon.  Lower jaw mini implants can be used to support and stabilize both full and partial lower dentures.

Mini implants root the lower denture securely to the jaw, preventing slipping and shifting. Since mini implants are used in this procedure, they are non-invasive to implant, heal quickly and remain strong-- even for patients with thin or narrow jawbones.

While mini implant supported dentures are versatile and have helped many of our patients, they may not be right for everyone.  To determine if they’ll be your best prosthetic option, please contact us directly at Oyster Bay Family Dentists.

 

Invisalign

Invisalign

Did you know that we provide our Oyster Bay Family Dentists patients with the modern orthodontic option Invisalign?

Invisalign is a great way to cosmetically straighten your smile without having to commit to the appearance and lifestyle changes that are needed in the case of tradition braces or other form of conventional orthodontics. These clear plastic tooth aligners are discreet, comfortable and flexible.

Invisalign works by incrementally adjusting the alignment of your teeth while remaining inconspicuous.  You can easily remove the aligners for meals, brushing and flossing, as well as dental exams and cleaning. Once your treatment period is complete, you can enjoy a cosmetically straightened smile and the confidence that comes with it.

Diode Lasers in Dentistry

Diode Lasers in Dentistry

At our state-of-the-art practice, we are determined to provide our patients with a combination of advanced capabilities and personalized care. One way we accomplish this is the use of a diode laser. Diode lasers improve the efficiency, safety and experience of numerous procedures. By changing a few simple settings with the touch of a button, diode lasers can be used to complete biopsies, gingivectomies, implant recoveries, and many other services.

Since these procedures are completed with a laser rather than manual tool, the process is considerably less invasive, more comfortable and significantly more precise. As a result, our patients experience less gum trauma, virtually no bleeding and faster healing. In many causes only minimal aesthetic is needed during the procedure.
