Dentures Dentist

Overdentures Keep Your Dentures in Place
Forget about the problems of slipping and sliding dentures. You can have your dentures securely in place without the use of adhesives. At Lakeland Family Dentistry, we offer our patients a great solution - overdentures!

With only a few strategic implants, your dentures will be secured into position, and you will never have to worry or be annoyed with movement again. They simply snap off for cleaning and can easily be replaced in your mouth. Say good-bye to creams that don't work. Come in and let us discuss if you are a candidate for overdentures.

Relief from Slipping Dentures
We design dentures that fit properly and look very natural. With a new technology that anchors your denture plate in place, you will be relieved of the problems of slippage. You may eat any foods you like without the worry. We make your life much easier, so come in and let us tell you what we can do for you.

Dental Crowns Dentist

Natural-Looking Crowns Made While You Wait
xYou know the routine. You visit the dentist. You need a crown. The dentist prepares the tooth, takes an impression, and installs a temporary crown. You then wait two weeks to return to the dentist, and he installs the permanent crown. And if the fit isn't perfect, it goes back to the lab and you wait again. And return to the dentist again.

But now, that's all changed. With new technology, our doctors can reduce that two-week waiting period and the two or three office visits to just a single visit! Carestream Dental's amazing intra-oral camera and on-site computer-aided design and milling device allow us to create a permanent crown in just a few minutes. Now, there's no more waiting for the lab and no return trips to the dentist. Our patients love it!

Carestream Dental's system allows us to repair a damaged tooth in about an hour. In most cases, gooey impressions and temporary crowns are not needed, and patients are thrilled with the long-lasting, high-quality ceramic restoration that is indistinguishable from their real teeth. 

The CS 3500 intra-oral camera takes true-color, 3D images of the tooth. The pictures are then displayed on a computer screen, enabling us to design the restoration, which the CS 3000 mill immediately creates on site. Once it's complete, we bond your beautiful new restoration to the surface of the old tooth. All in the same day!

Oral Hygiene Care

We want you to have the best dental health, and having your teeth professionally cleaned by our hygienist is an important part of healthy teeth and gums. Plaque forms on teeth even with meticulous brushing. When it hardens into tartar, cleaning with your toothbrush will not remove it. If it advances to the gums, you risk developing periodontal (gum) disease. Other, more serious health conditions have been linked to advanced or chronic gum infection. Recent research shows gum disease plays a role in the development of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. So please have your teeth cleaned regularly to stay healthy!
