At ANEWU, we pride ourselves in offering a unique blend of advanced implant dentistry and aesthetic solutions under one roof. Our team comprises skilled oral surgeons with extensive training and experience in rebuilding complete smiles with life-changing dental implants and enhancing natural beauty through cosmetic procedures.
Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with the latest technology, allowing us to provide precision care and achieve outstanding treatment outcomes. We value your time and investment, offering same-day options and other exceptional dental implant solutions.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible titanium that replace missing teeth. They are inserted into the jawbone to provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth, improving speech, eating, and overall oral health.
The implant process involves multiple steps: consultation, surgery (where the implant is placed in the jawbone), healing period (osseointegration), and finally placing the crown or bridge. Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care, making them a long-term solution for missing teeth.
All-On-4® and All-On-X are advanced dental implant techniques designed to restore an entire arch of teeth using fewer implants than traditional methods. Both procedures allow for immediate function, often with a temporary set of teeth on the same day as surgery.
The main difference between the two is the number of implants used. All-On-4® uses four strategically placed implants per arch, while All-On-X can use up to six implants. The ideal solution depends on each patient's individual needs and jawbone density. Our oral surgeons will assess your case and recommend the best option for you.
Same-day smiles with All-On-X or All-On-4® offer several advantages over traditional methods for restoring an entire arch of teeth. The primary benefit is that you can leave our office with a fully functional set of temporary teeth on the same day as your surgery.
Other benefits include reduced healing time, lower cost (due to fewer implants required), and the ability to enjoy your favorite foods soon after the procedure. Once the healing process is complete, we will create a final set of permanent teeth that look and feel natural.
Zygomatic (cheekbone) and Pterygoid (tuberosity) implants are alternative dental implant solutions for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. Traditional dental implants may not be possible due to insufficient bone height or width.
Zygomatic implants anchor into the zygomatic bone, providing immediate stability and allowing for quick restoration of missing teeth. Pterygoid implants, on the other hand, are placed in the pterygoid plates, offering a solid foundation for implant-supported dentures. Both options can help patients with severe bone loss restore their smiles more efficiently.
3D imaging and computer-guided implant surgery are advanced technologies that enhance the precision and accuracy of dental implant placement. Before your procedure, we capture detailed 3D images of your jawbone and teeth to create a virtual surgical plan.
The 3D models allow our oral surgeons to determine the optimal implant position, angle, and depth before even entering the operating room. During surgery, a small guide is created based on the virtual plan, helping us place implants with exceptional precision. This technology results in improved treatment outcomes, reduced healing time, and lower risk of complications.
Bone grafting is a procedure that adds or builds up bone in the jaw to strengthen it and improve its quality. It may become necessary if you have experienced significant bone loss due to tooth extraction, gum disease, or other factors.
During a bone grafting procedure, we place a small amount of bone material (usually from your own body or a donor) into the jawbone to stimulate new bone growth. Once the graft has integrated with your existing bone, dental implants can be placed. Bone grafting helps create a stable foundation for successful implant placement and long-term results.
After dental implant surgery, it's normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. We will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to help ensure a smooth and efficient recovery.
The healing process typically involves several stages: initial recovery (1-2 days), soft tissue healing (3-7 days), and bone healing (3-6 months). During this time, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene, avoid smoking, and follow any dietary restrictions. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for about a week.
Yes, dental implants can significantly improve your ability to chew and speak. Missing teeth can make it difficult to bite into certain foods, eat comfortably, or enunciate words clearly.
Dental implants provide a stable foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth, allowing you to enjoy a varied diet and speak confidently without worrying about loose dentures or discomfort. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, ensuring long-term benefits in your daily life.
Mini implant-supported dentures are a modern alternative to traditional dentures. They use smaller diameter dental implants (usually 2-3mm in width) to support and stabilize a removable denture.
The primary difference is that mini implant-supported dentures offer greater stability, improved comfort, and better chewing function compared to traditional dentures. This is because the implants provide anchorage points for the denture, preventing it from moving around or slipping out of place. Mini implants can also be placed in areas with limited bone density, making them an excellent option for patients who may not qualify for traditional dental implants.
ANEWU offers several non-surgical and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures to help you achieve a more youthful, radiant appearance. Our expert team is trained in the latest techniques and uses premium products to provide natural-looking results.
Some of our aesthetic solutions include: Botox® treatments for fine lines and wrinkles, dermal fillers to restore volume and smooth out skin, laser resurfacing to improve skin texture and tone, lip treatments to enhance or rejuvenate the lips, and buccal fat removal for facial contouring. We'll work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique concerns.
Botox® is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. When injected into specific muscles, it temporarily relaxes them by blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contractions.
In addition to its cosmetic uses, Botox® can help alleviate symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), such as jaw pain, tension headaches, and teeth grinding/clenching. By relaxing the masseter muscles responsible for chewing, we can reduce pressure on the joints and provide long-lasting relief from TMD-related discomfort.
Laser resurfacing is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses targeted beams of light to gently remove layers of damaged or aged skin. The treatment stimulates collagen production, promoting natural skin renewal and revealing smoother, more even-toned skin beneath.
Laser resurfacing can help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, acne scars, and other skin imperfections. Our skilled team uses advanced laser technology to deliver precise, customized treatments tailored to your unique needs, minimizing downtime and maximizing results.
Lip treatments are cosmetic procedures designed to augment or restore the volume and shape of your lips. As we age, our lips naturally lose fullness and definition, leading to a loss of youthful appearance.
At ANEWU, we offer lip augmentation using dermal fillers (such as Juvederm or Restylane) to add volume and define the lip border. For patients seeking more dramatic results, we also provide lip lifts and other surgical procedures. Our skilled team will work with you to create a customized treatment plan that enhances your natural beauty and addresses your specific concerns.
Buccal fat removal, also known as buccal lipectomy or cheek reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that reduces the appearance of fullness in the cheeks by removing excess fatty tissue from the area.
The procedure helps create more defined facial contours, emphasizing cheekbones and enhancing overall facial harmony. Buccal fat removal can be an excellent option for patients with round or chubby faces who wish to achieve a slimmer, more sculpted appearance. Our skilled oral surgeons will work closely with you to determine if buccal fat removal is the right choice for your aesthetic goals.
