Oral Rehabilitation

As a graduate of the prestigious Misch International Implant Institute, Dr. Caffaratti has undergone, and continues to pursue, postgraduate training for cosmetic and functional oral rehabilitations. His primary focus on implantology, Dr. Caffaratti believes that the appearance, function, and longevity of dental implants help many patients reclaim the benefits of a fully functional smile. If you are missing teeth due to injury, age, or another situation, schedule your oral rehabilitation consultation today.

When teeth are lost or missing, the body begins a process of bone loss in that area, and the longer the teeth are missing, the greater the amount of bone loss. The good news is, if teeth are replaced with dental implants, bone loss can be prevented, and the natural bone can be saved. In individuals who have been missing teeth for many years and have extensive bone loss, there are methods to regenerate new bone tissue, so dental implants can be placed in that area to support permanent teeth again. Dr. Caffaratti has extensive education and experience, including over 20 years providing patients their third set of teeth through these exciting and innovative techniques.

We work with acclaimed laboratories that artistically craft prosthetic teeth to complement your overall appearance. We will place your new restorations onto the dental implants so you can achieve a full, beautiful smile that will enhance your lifestyle, as well as your appearance. Not only will you smile with confidence, but you’ll appreciate improved function in speaking and eating.

Smile Makeovers

When it comes to designing and creating your smile, only the best will do, so we offer a complete spectrum of cosmetic dental procedures. After a thorough exam and discussion of your goals, we may suggest any combination of treatments to design your ideal smile. For instance, strong, handcrafted veneers completely cover front teeth and reflect light the same way your natural teeth do. They’re also stain resistant, so you never have to whiten them. Invisalign provides orthodontic treatment through a custom series of clear aligners so that you can maintain your mature appearance while undergoing treatment. In-office laser bleaching can brighten your teeth up to 8 shades in an hour, or you can choose the in-home option with comfortable trays to wear at night. Our extensive menu of smile makeover procedures includes:

• Invisalign (clear orthodontia for image-conscious adults)
• Tooth-Colored Fillings
• Porcelain Veneers (to mask chips, cracks, crowding, gaps, or discolorations in front teeth)
• Whitening (to brighten teeth in our office or at home)
• Bonding (to repair chips, cracks, or imperfections)
• Elite All-Porcelain Crowns, Onlays, Inlays, and Veneers
• Laser Re-contouring (of soft tissue for ideal smiles)
• Smile Design (with master dental technicians, we’ll design your ideal smile)
