How We Can Help
Whether you are referred by another physician/dentist, or oral health issues are uncovered during an exam at College Drive Dental Associates, your dentist will work with you to decide on a treatment method that works best for you. You will be carefully informed of every option to ensure that you are happy with your treatment plan. Depending on your ailment, there are a number of procedures that can be provided by College Drive Dental Associates, including:- Dental Implants – For missing or severely damaged teeth. This innovative treatment utilizes titanium implants that can behave as real, healthy teeth because they fuse to the jawbone.
