  • Do you perform full smile makeovers?

    Yes! At Dental Masters we can fully redo/restore your smile using a variety of treatments and techniques. From dental veneers to implants and more, we can leave you with a smile you’re proud of.

  • How long will my dental restoration take?

    Each patient’s treatment time is as unique as they are, however, many of our dental treatments can be completed in one or two appointments. For those looking for a quick turnaround on their full-mouth dental restoration, we encourage you to explore our “teeth in a day” treatment option. 

  • Am I a candidate for dental implants?

    Dental implants are a wonderful solution for missing teeth, but they are not for everyone! We recommend that you schedule a consultation so that we can get a better understanding of your smile goals and current challenges to see if dental implants are the right fit for you. Some patients require other treatments to prepare for dental implants, or may find that a less-invasive treatment is a better solution for them.
