Trussmile Dental PC

At Trussmile Dental, we provide comprehensive implant care from initial placement through final restoration within our practice. By delivering every phase in-house, we maintain competitive pricing and work with most insurance implant benefits to reduce patient costs. Our services include mini implants, immediate implants, implant bridges, and implant-retained overdentures. We also utilize advanced techniques such as digital planning, guided placement, PRF technology, bone grafting, and sinus lifts to promote precise results and comfortable healing.

Our cosmetic dentistry treatments are designed to improve the appearance of your teeth while preserving healthy structure. Through precise tooth bonding, we restore chipped edges and correct spacing with lifelike composite materials matched to your enamel. We place porcelain veneers and Lumineers for refined contour and coverage using minimally invasive methods. We also craft all-ceramic crowns and bridges and perform professional whitening with LED-activated systems in controlled sessions.

We deliver customized denture services that address both functional needs and cosmetic expectations. Patients can choose from full, partial, temporary, or implant-supported dentures, crafted from durable, hypoallergenic, and BPA-free materials. For those requiring extractions, we outline options such as immediate dentures and discuss the importance of proper healing. Additionally, we repair damaged dentures and design partials that help protect remaining teeth from excess strain or shifting.

We provide orthodontic solutions designed to improve alignment and protect your long-term oral health. Misaligned teeth can trap plaque more easily, raising the likelihood of cavities, gum disease, and even jaw joint concerns such as TMD. Through Invisalign, we deliver a streamlined treatment without bulky wires or brackets. Treatment typically lasts 6 to 15 months, with removable aligners worn daily for optimal results.

Amalgam fillings have long been placed to restore teeth, though modern dentistry now favors composite materials. These restorations contain a blend of metals, including mercury, which provides flexibility during placement but has been linked to potential health issues. When patients express concern about existing fillings, we perform a thorough assessment for wear, leakage, cracks, or decay. Using certified safe removal protocols, we guide each patient through a thoughtful evaluation tailored to their individual needs.
