What are All-on-4 dentures?
All-on-4 dentures replace your natural teeth with dentures supported by four dental implants on the top and four on the bottom of your mouth. Your dentist inserts the implants into your jawbone during a minor dental procedure.
What are the benefits of smile restoration?
The advantages you can expect by choosing smile restoration at Reality Bites Dental include teeth that are:
- Whiter
- Brighter
- Straighter
- More beautiful
- Less gapped
- Stronger
- Even-shaped
- Larger
Smile restoration enhances the appearance of your gums (including your gumline), perfects your bite, and replaces missing or severely damaged teeth to create flawless beauty.
Is smile restoration right for me?
Smile restoration is an exceptional solution for anyone unhappy with the appearance of their teeth or the overall appearance of their smile.
To determine which treatments are best, the Reality Bites Dental team discusses your medical history, reviews your goals and lifestyle, and examines your gums and teeth. They take dental X-rays if needed before customizing a treatment plan.
What can I expect during smile restoration?
What to expect during smile restoration varies from patient to patient. Your dentist may use whitening gel to make your teeth multiple shades whiter, straighten crooked teeth using aligners, bond veneers to the surface of your teeth, or complete dental surgery to replace your natural teeth with dental implants and crowns, bridges, or dentures.
They use a creative eye to create the flattering smile of your dreams. You might require more than one dental visit to achieve your goals.

Dental Crowns
what to expect
01
Prep and Scanning
Preparing your tooth for a crown involves reshaping it to ensure a solid base for your crown. Then, we’ll take a 3D scan of your mouth.
02
Building your Crown
Don’t worry about the downtime. You’ll leave in a temporary crown while we communicate with our preferred local dental lab to design your new crown using your 3D scan. This usually takes 2-3 weeks.
03
Final Crown Placement
When your permanent crown is ready, we’ll remove your temporary, check the fit of your permanent crown, then bond it in place, completing the procedure.
