While it’s not possible to turn back the clock on tooth loss, state-of-the-art dental implants are the next best option here in Portage. Unlike more traditional services, dental implants comprehensively rebuild the entire structure of the natural tooth, resulting in exceptional longevity, lifelike function, and premier aesthetics. Better yet, Dr. Hayes is personally capable of handling every stage of treatment – including the surgical placement of the implant(s) – right here in one location, saving you time-consuming trips to an outside specialist.

While dentures have been used to replace missing teeth for hundreds of years, this type of prosthetic comes with several significant pitfalls. Many patients struggle with “slippage” that can happen at the most inopportune times, resulting in embarrassment among friends. Thankfully, revolutionary dental implants can help hold the patient’s custom-made denture securely in place, helping it feel much more stable and lifelike. Suddenly, you can speak clearer, bite more firmly, and enjoy all of your favorite foods once more without worry.

Get Involved with UsIf you’re shopping for a new oral healthcare provider or it’s been a while since your last dental visit, it’s natural to wonder what qualifications to look for. All dentists are highly educated and qualified professionals, but they don’t all have the same levels of skills and experience with different procedures.
To find the right dentist for you, start by defining what it is that you’re looking for. Do you want someone who’s in-network with your insurance or someone who offers specific treatments you know you’ll need? Do you need someone to provide for the entire family’s needs or a specialist for a complex surgery? Once you’ve established your criteria, a quick internet search can give a list of results to research based on your needs and goals.
Taking care of your smile is an incredibly personal matter, and it’s only natural to want to find the best person for the job. All dentists in the United States must have a first earn a bachelor’s degree and then graduated with either a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS) degree from one of more than 70 schools accredited by the American Dental Association. From there, they can choose to pursue additional training to become an expert in one or more of the 12 ADA-recognized specializations. All are required to complete a designated number of continuing education hours to maintain their licenses.
Here at Advanced Dental Concepts, Dr. Hayes earned his doctorate from the Temple University School of Dentistry in Philadelphia before pursuing additional training in topics like veneers, laser dentistry, implants, and sedation.
Dental insurance encourages preventative care by offering 100% coverage of basic services like checkups, cleanings, and X-rays. They also typically include 50% to 80% of the cost of additional treatments and procedures, so you don’t break the bank caring for your grin.
However, not all patients carry a policy, and our team doesn’t want your budget to prevent you from having happy, healthy teeth and gums. We’ve partnered with CareCredit, a third-party financer, so that if your application is approved, you can break up your total invoice into more manageable installments.
We also offer an Advanced Dental Wellness Plan for a low annual fee that includes 100% discounts on preventative services and 35% off other treatments and procedures. Because it’s not traditional insurance, there are no associated deductibles, waiting periods, or other limitations before benefit kick in.
Brushing and flossing your teeth twice daily at home is essential to preventing common problems like cavities and gum disease, but there’s no guarantee you won’t have a dental emergency at some point. Acting quickly can make all the difference in saving your smile when you're in an urgent situation.
If you’re bleeding uncontrollably or have sustained a life-threatening injury, head to the closest ER or call 911 immediately. Otherwise, if unsure who to call or where to go for oral issues, you can search online for a nearby practitioner who handles emergencies.You may also want to ensure that the practice offers a comprehensive menu of services so that you can be examined and receive full treatment in the same location.
At Advanced Dental Concepts, we reserve time and space for emergency visits so you don’t have to wait for relief. Plus, we offer multiple forms of sedation to help you feel comfortable and relaxed the entire time.
Many experts consider dental implants the ideal way to replace missing teeth because of their unique placement in your jawbone. However, they’re also the only restorations that involve oral surgery, meaning it’s important to find a qualified provider to place them.
You can look for a specialist in your area who performs the surgery by searching online for local periodontists, prosthodontists, or oral surgeons who are experts in placing artificial teeth and preserving gum health. You can also check your provider’s qualifications to find out whether they participate in prestigious professional organizations associated with dental implants.
For example, at Advanced Dental Concepts, we can perform the surgery and place your restoration in the office because Dr. Hayes has completed advanced training and is a valued member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.
