Featured Procedures
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots to support restorations. This allows dentures, dental crowns, and bridges to replace missing teeth from root to tip. Implants also provide the jawbone the support it needs to remain strong and healthy.
Full Mouth Dental Implants
If you are missing all of your teeth, full mouth dental implants provide stability for your dentures. There is no risk of slippage when you eat or speak, so you can enjoy the foods you love and speak with confidence.
Treatment for Gum Disease
Gum disease, also known as gingivitis and periodontitis, can cause serious oral health issues when left untreated. Our skilled periodontist offers comprehensive periodontal care to restore the health of your gums.
Implant Bridge
Implant supported dentures are an easy transition for most people. Dr. Lopez simply places two to four implants into your jaw that integrate with the denture prosthesis through snaps or a bar. Your denture is firmly supported on these stable implants, giving you a more natural bite and returning your quality of life!
Avoiding Treatment Because of Dental Phobia?
If visiting the dentist makes you anxious or you have issues that make sitting for treatment difficult, sedation dentistry can help. Our Albuquerque dentist offers sedation to keep you comfortable during your treatments. We go to great lengths to ensure your care is as painless as possible.
