The Ease Of Mini Implant Use

I recently attended my yearly update training course on mini implants with Dr. Gordon Christiansen. This is a wonderful option for those with loose or ill-fitting dentures or partial dentures and can even be used to replace individual teeth in many cases where larger conventional implants won't work. There are now several brands of mini implants approved by the FDA for permanent implant use varying in size, shape, and length allowing more versatility in placement. These mini implants can usually be placed and used immediately rather then requiring the several month waiting period of most larger conventional implants. They can also last just as long as the larger implants, which is potentially for life. They are very simple to place with local anesthetic and our patients report no pain at the time of placement and little or no pain afterward. We have quite a number of patients that reported a "life changing" improvement to their ability to eat and enjoy food again once we placed their mini implants.


We would enjoy having the opportunity to show anyone that is interested in mini implant placement what it could do for them and answer any questions. Please feel free to contact our office.

What are Porcelain Veneers?

An increasingly popular choice that deals with various cosmetic dentistry issues is porcelain veneers. They can be used for a variety of purposes, many of which could previously only be dealt with by using much more invasive procedures.

Porcelain veneers are easily applied, and require minimal alteration of the tooth. Many times only a small amount of surface enamel is removed.

While porcelain veneers are extremely thin - about as thick as your fingernail - when they are bonded to your teeth they become very strong. In addition, the porcelain has a translucent quality that makes it look more like the natural enamel of your teeth. Traditional porcelain crowns and other cosmetic alternatives are generally opaque, making them look artificial. Porcelain veneers are carefully color-matched and custom-made to fit your mouth and give you exactly the look you want.

Because of their strength, ease of application, and natural looks, porcelain veneers are used to help correct discolored, cracked, chipped, or slightly uneven teeth. They can even correct minor gaps between teeth, giving you a beautiful, perfect smile.

For more information on what porcelain veneers can do for you, please contact Dr. LeSueur and Dr. Dodaro to schedule an initial porcelain veneers consultation. Our Mesa, Arizona offices serve Mesa, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe and other East Valley Cities. We'll put you on the road to a beautiful smile.
