Before & Afters
Excellent treatment, felt super safe and clean in Corona times as well, thank you for everything!
Dr. Trinh made my trip to the dentist extremely enjoyable. She was very professional, upbeat and thoughtful: she took the time to explain me the what and why of each treatments. I got to learn new things besides getting my teeth fixed. I would highly recommend Dr. Trinh to anyone!
Dr. Trinh is fantastic. Capable, friendly, and thorough. Highly recommend.
Phenomenal experience with Viviane the other week! Great attention to detail and I learned a few things about the affects of eating too much bread on my teeth 🙂
I’m so happy with my decision on choosing this Dentist. Literally the best dentist I have ever been to. So gentle and makes you feel at ease. Thank you for making me so comfortable.
Dr. Trinh was amazing. She was very thorough and thoughtful. She crossed every T and dotted every i. She listened to all of my concerns and made my experience a beautiful one. I will be returning.
Dr. Trinh is far and away the best dentist I’ve ever been too. And I used to see one of the best dentists in the Tri-State area. The quality of her work is not only first-rate but when you combine that with her professionalism and friendliness it’s no coincidence she’s at the top of her field. I highly recommend her!
Viviane is an absolute professional and someone who takes her work incredibly seriously. She is thorough, kind, and most of all someone I trust implicitly. I could not be happier with my experience thus far and would recommend her to anybody looking for a top dentist!

What are dental implants?
A dental implant is a device that is used by the dentist to support restorations in an individual’s jaw bone that are a resemblance of a tooth or several teeth as a replacement. The implant is made of high-grade, pure titanium that mimics the structure of the root of a tooth. It is typically placed in the bones of a person’s jaw.
Benefits of Dental Implants |
Enables replacement of missing teeth |
Improves the confidence and physical appearance of an individual |
Helps prevent loss of other teeth by supporting the dental foundation |
Enables one to eat certain foods that they otherwise would not have been able to |
Helps maintain facial contours |
Resemble natural teeth |
How do dental implants work?
The dental implant procedure happens in a number of steps. First, the patient should make an appointment so that the dentist could assess the surrounding area in the jaw and tooth. The dentist will treat any issues such as dental decay. A thorough cleaning is always of the utmost importance before any further procedures are carried out. The dentist will then perform several x-rays when fitting a patient with a new dental implant. Occasionally, a CT scan may be done to assist the dentist to identify any abnormalities in the bone.
The gum is then cut and lifted. A hole would be drilled in the bone of the jaw where the implant would be located. A screw is put into the hole and the gum is stitched back up. Stitches are typically removed within a period of 7-14 days. Over the next 5-6 months, the implant will heal and fuse with the surrounding bone jaw. Once the healing period is over, the gum is then lifted and a dental abutment is fixed into the implant by the use of a screw. Permanent restoration is fitted after 4-6 weeks.
In some cases, there may not be enough bone material to accommodate the dental implant. If this is the case, there may be a need for a bone graft.
