Dental Technology

Dr. Erez is proud to perform the highest quality treatment that will feel great and look great. Procedures are preformed using microsurgical techniques with surgical microscope magnification, taking care to preserve as much of your natural bone and gums as possible and leaving you with virtually no signs of surgery. He uses custom 3D generated guiding stents to place your implants in order achieve predictable perfection in placement of your implant in relation to your bone, as well as the subsequent placement of the final crown/bridge/denture. A perfectly placed implant leads to a healthy restoration that will last a lifetime, and by working together with Dr. Irene, they are able to plan your treatment in detail from the surgical and restorative aspects and thus give you the results you are looking for.

In addition, Dr. Erez also specializes in treating implant related complications, including removal, replacement, and bone regeneration.

For those patients who suffer from gum disease, Dr. Erez is able to evaluate the extent of the condition and recommend proper home care and treatment. Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss, but by tracking your gum and bone levels with each visit to our hygienist, Dr. Erez is able to intervene if a problem is detected and recommend treatment to stop the progression that can lead to additional bone loss and subsequent tooth loss. Bone loss also often leads to gum recession which can lead to sensitivity and decay at the root surfaces. Dr. Erez can discuss various options to replace the gum tissue that has been lost and recommend the treatment that is right for you to protect the teeth from further damage and also restore the youthful appearance of your smile.
