Full & Partial Dentures

Patients who have lost their natural teeth due to decay, periodontal disease or injury can suffer from related problems including further decay, difficulty eating and speaking, and drooping of facial muscles. Full and partial dentures replace the missing teeth both aesthetically and functionally, providing support and restoring the smile. Full (complete) dentures are used when all of the natural teeth have been lost, while partial dentures fill in the gaps between natural teeth. The gums, dentures and any remaining natural teeth will need to be cleaned regularly to prevent staining, sores and plaque build-up.

Implant Restoration & Maintenance

Dental implants provide a stable base for replacement teeth that look, feel and work like natural teeth. With dental implants, a person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat and smile with confidence. Implants can replace one tooth or several missing teeth.
Dental implants are cylinders made of titanium that are surgically implanted into the jaw. The jaw bone grows around the base of the implant, while the top protrudes through the gums. Once they are secure in the jaw, the posts serve as anchors for tooth replacements such as fixed crowns and bridges and secure removable dentures.

TMJ Diagnosis & Treatment

Teeth-grinding, or bruxism, occurs when the jaws are clenched and the teeth grind against one another during sleep. Stress and anxiety are often blamed, but sleep disorders, abnormal bite and missing or crooked teeth may also be the culprits. If left untreated, bruxism can lead to headache, sore jaw and painful, loose or fractured teeth.

Biocompatible Dental Material Testing

For the utmost in safety and peace of mind, many patients are choosing to have their dental restoratives pre-screened for them. This involves a blood-serum analysis in which commonly used dental materials are compared for their degree of reactivity with a person's immune response. The report allows the dentist and patient to select the materials which have the LEAST degree of impact immunologically. This is especially important in patients who already have compromised immunity. The goal here is to restore the teeth and mouth with predictable results, and minimize the chance of undesirable side-effects from long-term exposure.

By incorporating the latest information and techniques to properly diagnose and treat commonly overlooked sources of infection in the jaws, Dr. Fazio can help rid the body of chronic infections which are a burden to the body's immune system.

Biological Root Canal Therapy (Ozone / EndoCal)

Traditional Root Canal Therapy (RCT) can be limited in its ability to completely sterilize the root complex. Additionally, the materials commonly used to fill the roots (Gutta Percha) may cause sensitivity reactions in some patients. This can result in a chronic, low-grade infection which can be a major burden on the body.

A more biologically-friendly approach involves the use of Oxygen-Ozone gas to provide sterilization, and EndoCal paste (Calcium Oxide / Zinc Oxide) to fill the roots. This can provide a greater likelihood of long-term success, with less body burden.
