Dental Implants

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and facial contours are preserved. The dental implant can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing. They can also be used for replacement of a single tooth, multiple teeth, or all teeth. One of the greatest uses is to help anchor traditional dentures. Over time, dentures can get loose due to the shrinkage of the jaws. By utilizing dental implants, we can stabilize the dentures by anchoring them to the jawbone. The results are described most often as “amazing!”

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are an ideal choice for improving your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their effectiveness and versatility. When placing porcelain veneers, Dr. Markowitz will ensure that your veneers are crafted from the highest quality porcelains and are bonded with the most advanced and proven materials available. Placing custom porcelain veneers requires a high degree of technical skill as well as attention to cosmetic detail. We place veneers routinely, and design each case individually to match and enhance the characteristics of each patient's smile. It takes a highly trained artistic eye, as well as skill level to create beautiful, yet natural looking smiles. Porcelain veneers are usually the option of choice when creating a big change in a patient's smile, and can be used to change color, shape, size, positioning, and inclination of teeth.
