Dr. Jay is an FAGD dentist! What does that mean for you and your family?

FAGD stands for Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry. Earning Fellowship takes dedication to dental continuing education (CE) beyond graduation. Only about 6 percent of general dentists in the U.S. and Canada are AGD Fellows. When you see a dentist with FAGD after their name, you can rest assured that they care about knowing the latest techniques and best practices in dentistry. AGD Fellows practice these techniques in a classroom setting multiple times a year — not every dentist does this.

To become an AGD Fellow, a dentist must:

• Complete over 500 credit hours of CE
• Earn 350 of those 500 credits in live courses
• Pass an exam equal in difficulty to board certification exams

Dental Implants :

Dental implants are a permanent and appealing solution to replace missing or extracted teeth. They are better than other alternatives like bridges because no additional teeth need to be altered to place the new tooth. The entire implant process is performed over the course of a few months.

We use conebeam imaging to evaluate bone width, height and use digital technology to place implants at a very affordable costs.

The implant is placed in the jaw bone.

The implant must be allowed about 3-6 months to heal, and during this time the jaw bone will form around the implant in a process called osseointegration.

After the implant has healed it is time to place a crown.  Our office has Cad cam machine where we can design the crown for the implant. Once the restoration is completed you can return to the office to attach the restoration permanently and it will feel just like one of your own teeth.
