Dental Implants
Single Tooth Implant
Vertical and Horizontal Bone Augmentation by Implant
A referred patient presented with severe vertical bone loss in the upper left molar area, attributed to a traumatic extraction. The treatment plan involved vertical bone buildup using a dental implant and bone graft to facilitate successful replacement of the missing upper left molar.
Single Implant Placement
The upper right first premolar was extracted due to deep decay, which also led to the exposure of the nerve on the adjacent tooth as a result of decay under a defective filling. To address this issue, an implant was placed to replace the missing premolar. Additionally, root canal treatment was performed on the upper right first molar. Subsequently, crowns were fabricated for both the implant and the root canal-treated tooth, resulting in a remarkable outcome.
Sinus Lift and Implant Placement
A sinus lift procedure was performed to elevate the sinus membrane, creating space to accommodate a sufficiently long implant for the missing upper right second premolar.
Immediate Implant Placement
Immediate implant placement was performed for the broken upper left second premolar tooth. After a period of five months, the gum healed beautifully. Subsequently, a crown was fabricated for the implant, and a full porcelain crown was placed on the adjacent tooth, which had a large defective metal filling with a deep fracture.
Immediate Implant Placement
An immediate implant placement procedure was performed for the upper left molar, followed by a remarkable gum healing process over the course of four months. Subsequently, a crown was fabricated and connected to the implant, resulting in a fully restored and functional tooth.

This restoration not only restored functionality but also enhanced the aesthetic appeal of her smile.
Lower Denture Supported by Implants
Five months ago, this gentleman sought consultation with Dr. Sage due to issues with his lower denture, which was loose and allowed food to become trapped underneath. After assessing the thickness of his jawbone, Dr. Sage recommended an implant-supported denture as the optimal solution, tailored to the patient’s desire to avoid bone grafting or any complex procedures. The patient is now extremely satisfied with his new denture, enjoying significant improvements such as the elimination of food trapping under the denture, exceptional retention, and the ease with which he can now enjoy his favorite rare-cooked steak. The denture’s secure fit is such that he finds it quite difficult to remove.
Full Upper Bridge Supported by Implants
In addition to the lower denture solution, the patient expressed discomfort with his removable upper denture and sought a more permanent solution that could be implemented promptly. Following a thorough consultation, he underwent the extraction of all remaining upper teeth and received six implants (All-on-6) with an immediate fixed bridge loaded the same day. The entire procedure was performed under local anesthesia, guided by a surgical plan informed by his Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan. This fixed bridge serves as a temporary solution while his gums heal from the extractions. He is scheduled to return in six months for the fitting of a permanent bridge, marking the completion of his dental restoration journey.

Invisalign / Clear Braces
Invisalign, also known as clear braces, is an innovative orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligners. Unlike traditional metal braces, these clear aligners are removable and made of a smooth, comfortable plastic material, offering a discreet way to correct misalignments, gaps, and overcrowded teeth. Patients receive a new set of aligners every few weeks, gradually shifting their teeth into the desired position. Invisalign is highly popular for its aesthetic appeal and the flexibility it allows in daily life, including the ability to eat without restrictions and maintain oral hygiene more easily. This method is suitable for both adults and teenagers seeking an effective, less noticeable orthodontic solution.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure aimed at lightening teeth and removing stains and discoloration. This treatment can significantly enhance the brightness of your smile, contributing to a youthful and vibrant appearance. There are various methods available, including in-office professional treatments that use high-concentration bleaching agents for immediate results, and at-home kits prescribed by dentists for more gradual improvement. Teeth whitening is effective for most types of discoloration, offering a simple and non-invasive way to boost confidence through a brighter smile. However, it’s important to consult with a dental professional to determine the most suitable option based on individual dental health and whitening goals.
Dental Crown
The before-and-after images demonstrate the transformation achieved through the application of full upper porcelain crowns designed for a natural look. The "Before" photo shows natural teeth that appear slightly uneven and discolored, which might affect the overall symmetry and aesthetic of the smile. The "After" photo presents a significant improvement with the porcelain crowns, offering a uniform, whiter, and more harmonious appearance. These crowns mimic the look and feel of natural teeth, enhancing both the functionality and the visual appeal of the smile, and are particularly effective in restoring a vibrant, youthful dental appearance.
A dental crown is a custom-fitted restoration that completely covers or “caps” a damaged tooth or dental implant. Crowns are used to strengthen and protect the tooth’s structure when fillings or other restorative procedures are not sufficient. They can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination, offering both durability and a natural appearance. Crowns are ideal for restoring teeth that are fractured, severely decayed, have undergone root canal treatment, or in cases where there’s a need for cosmetic enhancement. The process typically involves two visits to the dentist: one for preparing the tooth and taking impressions, and another for fitting the crown. Dental crowns not only improve the function and aesthetics of your smile but also can last many years with proper care.
