When you lose your teeth your appearance changes, speech can be affected, and you may have to give up your favorite foods. Over time, ill-fitting dentures can slip, click, or fall out. As your dentist in East Lansing, we’d like to help you avoid that with the revolutionary All-on-4 dental implant-supported dentures.

Dental implants are replacement tooth roots that are permanently anchored into your jaw to act as supports for a dental prosthetic. Using only 4 dental implants plus a denture allows us to avoid areas that otherwise might need bone grafting, which can save you months in healing time and offers a considerable financial savings too.

If you are one of the millions of Americans who have experienced multiple tooth loss, please consider the All-on-4 procedure. It is stable, performing just as your real teeth perform, comfortable, and beautiful. Patients feel as if their lives have been transformed, not only because of how their teeth look and function, but also because of how they have come to feel inside.

A dental crown is a fixed prosthetic device, which simply means it’s a tooth restoration that you don’t remove – it stays permanently in your mouth to support, strengthen, or conceal a tooth. It also refines its shape, alignment, color, and function. In days past, most crowns were made of gold, but now, because of their beauty, strength, and natural look, most crowns are made of porcelain. They’re so life-like, only you and your dentist in East Lansing – us! – know that you’re sporting one.

The most common uses for crowns include:

• Preventing a weak tooth from breaking
• Restoring a broken tooth
• Preserving & supporting a tooth that has had root canal treatment
• Supporting tooth structure when a significant portion of the tooth has been filled
• Covering severely discolored or poorly shaped teeth
• In combination with a false tooth to create a dental crown & bridge.

Dental crowns are extremely durable, function the way your own teeth do, and with proper care, can last for 10 years or more. Let us help you love your functional and beautiful smile. Call today for your no-obligation consultation!

At East Lansing Modern Dental, we usually see teeth that are crowded, spaced too far apart, protruding, or don’t touch when or where they should. With orthodontics, we gradually shift teeth into their ideal position – for looks, function, and overall good oral health. Small corrections can take as little as six months while more complex cases can take longer.

Orthodontics Options

Clear Aligners – Invisalign^® is a virtually undetectable treatment that uses a series of custom-made clear aligners that are calibrated to shift your teeth. In many cases, Invisalign is a great alternative to traditional braces, especially for those who want their orthodontics treatment to be private.

Band & Bracket Orthodontics – We provide traditional braces … but now, they are far less noticeable than they used to be. Most of the metallic hardware associated with braces can be replaced by transparent or tooth-colored material and thinner wires.

We know just how big of a role a beautiful smile plays in your life. From your confidence to the way you eat to its impact on your overall health, it’s one of your key features. That’s why we want to do everything in our power to help you avoid serious problems that may require more complex and costly treatment in the future. Trust us, it’s not the kind of surprise anyone wants!

If you think orthodontics could be a game changer for you or a loved one, please call us today for a no-obligation consultation. We will answer all your questions honestly and make a recommendation that puts your wants and needs first!
