Dr Cushman is a phenomenal dentist. She is very talented in her profession but also compassionate, kind, understand and takes the time to make sure I understand what she is doing and what the ultimate goal is for my personal care. Her team is as extraordinary as she is. I can't speak highly enough of her and her staff. I'm very thankful to have Dr Cushman as my Dentist.
View On YelpWhat Is a Dental Implant?
If you envision a complete tooth, the dental implant is the equivalent of the tooth root. This artificial "tooth root" is a screw-like post that is surgically placed in the jawbone. To recreate an entire tooth, an artificial tooth (often called a "crown") is attached to the implant using a connector piece called an abutment.
In addition to single teeth, dental implants can also support dental bridges and dentures.
Dr. Cushman is experienced in working with both titanium and zirconia implants, which allows her to offer the very best implant to meet each patient's unique needs.
Replacing Missing Teeth Implants Support a Variety of Restorations
When paired with restorations, dental implants can restore your smile and give you a functional bite. Most people discover it's almost as if they never lost their natural teeth.
Single Tooth
A single implant and custom dental crown replace a tooth from top to root. A major advantage of this method is that nearby teeth do not need to be altered to support a replacement tooth.
Row of Teeth
If you are missing a row of teeth, an implant-supported bridge will restore your smile without having to reshape two otherwise healthy teeth to support both ends of a dental bridge.
Dentures
Multiple implants can be used to support an entire denture. Once secured to implants, these dentures will never slip and the implants will help avoid the bone loss that occurs with missing teeth.
"Awesome"

Dr. Cushman is one of my favorite people now. Her staff is awesome too. I had a root scaling and planing done a few months ago. This procedure takes at least 4 visits and Dr. Cushman informed me that it is possible to complete in one visit. On my second visit I had a cleaning and a periodontal splint put on.

Just had my crown lengthening done... This office is amazing.. Even though I hate going to the dentist.. Dr Cushman and her staff truly made it into a pleasant one. Providing a blanket and lavender scented mask for the procedure almost made me sleepy. Thanks Dr Cushman.. I'm so happy I found your office!

Treatment Timeline For Dental Implants
In order to create a healthy environment for implants, some patients require specialized treatments such as bone grafts, sinus lifts, or treatment for periodontal disease. Unlike general dentists, Dr. Cushman is experienced in performing advanced preparatory techniques, including vertical sinus lifts, to meet patients' needs in-office. Each patient's treatment is unique, but in general, implant treatment follows these steps:
If you have difficulty sitting for long periods or are anxious about treatment, we might recommend sedation dentistry.
