What should I do if I have missing teeth? Dental implants are the preferred method to replace missing teeth, as they act just like a tooth that has a root deep into the bone of your skull or jaw. The root of the tooth prevents the bone around it from eroding away and creating cascading issues for the existing teeth around the vacant area.

What should I look for in a dentist that places my dental implants? Doctors that place dental implants should be very familiar with the surgery, and use modern implants that have a special design or coating that allow the implant to integrate easily into the bone around it and use 3D x-ray technology like our Galileos Cone Beam x-ray device to plan the implant's depth, size and angulation to produce precision results. Whether you're replacing a single tooth, or implanting dentures or a bridge, the emphasis for your dental implants should always be on custom, precision placement. Read more.

How can I straighten my teeth? Do I have to look like an adolescent while I do it? Well, the answer is Invisalign! And…cripes, no! One of the best things that you can do for your smile is to straighten those teeth. Not only does straightening your teeth make them look better, but they function better. If you reduce crowding, you reduce the amount of places for plaque to hide and your teeth are easier to clean and stay healthier with less effort from you. Invisalign is the adult way to accomplish this task. Without wires, bands or brackets, we can reposition your teeth, gradually, using clear plastic aligners. You replace the aligners every two weeks or so and at the end of your treatment, you have the perfect straight teeth that you have wanted all your life. Dr.Richter offers a couple of Invisalign specials and discounts like BOGOHO and a free whitening after your case is done. Read more.
