Prosthodontics
Introduction

Even a subtle change in your smile helps you to project an image of self-confidence and high personal esteem. When you feel good about yourself, it shows in your appearance.

Today's advanced techniques and materials can make a real difference. And the skill, experience and commitment of our practice - using a unique combination of science and artistry-can literally redesign your smile.

The prosthodontists at Shiffman-Morris can now correct a wide variety of so called "permanent" dental problems:

  • Missing teeth, gaps between teeth, general bite dysfunction

  • Chipped, cracked or worn teeth

  • Unsightly, stained, or washed-out fillings

  • Permanently stained or discolored teeth

  • Crooked or crowded teeth

Staff

All staff members are CPR certified and are informed administrative personnel, well-versed in health and insurance policies.

Consultation

Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, treatment can be done the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.

Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:

  • Your referral slip and any X-rays if applicable

  • A list of medications you are presently taking

  • If you have medical or dental insurance, bring the necessary completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.

IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.

Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.)
