At ER Dental we know the value of having a balanced biting forces in your mouth.
Losing a tooth or some teeth usually have a very negative long term effect on the chewing system.
We also understand that cost and fear of surgical procedures might be holding our patients back from getting dental implants placed.
We have good news!
We have invested in 3D scanning technology and trained in guided surgery, therefore we can offer our patients a very painless implant experience where we place our implants through key-hole surgery. What this means for our patients is minimal to no discomfort and a very quick and efficient procedure.
The other benefit is that we can offer this service at a very competitive price.
If you have teeth to replace and always thought it was out of your reach or maybe thought it wasn’t important to replace that tooth, then please feel free to come and see us for a consultation to discuss this treatment and your alternative options.
