Dental Implants in Flushing, MI

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth — and TERAN Dental Co. in Flushing, MI provides complete implant care from consultation through final restoration. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, providing a stable, permanent foundation that mimics the look and function of a natural tooth.

The Dental Implant Process

The implant process begins with a consultation to assess your bone density and overall oral health. If you are a good candidate, a titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone during a minor outpatient procedure. Over the following weeks, the implant integrates with the bone in a process called osseointegration. Once healed, a custom crown is attached to the implant — completing your new tooth.

Who is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most healthy adults with sufficient bone density are candidates for dental implants. Common reasons patients choose implants include a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, or dissatisfaction with existing dentures. If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate due to bone loss, ask Dr. Teran about bone grafting options — we can help evaluate whether implant preparation procedures may open the door to implants for you.

Think of this as the art of disguise for your teeth. For minor imperfections such as chips, cracks, or discoloration, composite bonding reshapes your smile with a material that mirrors the appearance of your natural teeth. This is a conservative approach, requiring minimal alteration of the tooth, and is perfect for creating harmony and balance within the smile.

Dental Crowns in Flushing, MI

A dental crown is a custom-fitted cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. At TERAN Dental Co. in Flushing, MI, we use tooth-colored materials that blend naturally with your smile for a seamless result.

The Dental Crown Process

The crown procedure typically takes two visits. During the first appointment, Dr. Teran will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and reshaping it to accommodate the crown. An impression or digital scan is taken and sent to our dental lab, where your custom crown is fabricated. A temporary crown protects the tooth in the meantime. At your second visit, the permanent crown is fitted, adjusted for bite alignment, and cemented into place.

Is a Dental Crown Right for You?

Crowns are commonly recommended for teeth that are cracked, severely decayed, or have undergone a root canal. They are also used to anchor a dental bridge or cap a dental implant.

If you’re experiencing tooth sensitivity, pain when biting, or have a noticeably damaged tooth, contact our Flushing, MI office to schedule a consultation with Dr. Teran.

Picture a beautifully crafted bridge spanning a tranquil stream, seamlessly connecting one side to the other. Our fixed bridges play a similarly pivotal role in your mouth, filling the gap left by one or more missing teeth. By anchoring to the natural teeth or implants surrounding the empty space, bridges not only restore the functionality and aesthetics of your smile but also prevent the remaining teeth from drifting out of alignment, preserving your bite and some of your face’s shape.

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made facings affixed to the front surface of your teeth, helping rejuvenate your smile. They remedy dental imperfections, such as stains, chips, and gaps, efficiently improving your smile’s beauty and functionality. Veneers enhance the brightness of your smile, providing strength and beauty comparable to natural tooth enamel, making them one of the best solutions.
