Dental Implants

While traditional fixed bridges and dentures remain effective solutions for replacing missing teeth, dental implants offer the most natural and long-lasting alternative. Implants closely mimic the function of natural tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for a wide range of restorations, from single crowns and bridges to full-arch prosthetics.


This enhanced stability not only improves function and comfort but also helps preserve bone structure and facial aesthetics. For patients who wear complete dentures, dental implants significantly increase retention and reduce the risk of slipping, enhancing both confidence and quality of life. Dental implants are widely regarded as the gold standard in tooth replacement for their durability, aesthetics, and ability to restore full oral function.

Tooth Extraction and PRF Technology

While preserving your natural teeth is always our top priority, there are cases where tooth extraction is necessary to protect your oral health and overall well-being. When extractions are required, we use advanced healing techniques to support your recovery and long-term outcomes.


One such innovation is Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapy, a regenerative approach that harnesses your body’s natural healing abilities. PRF is derived from a small sample of your own blood, which is processed in a centrifuge to separate out beneficial components—such as growth factors, stem cells, and white blood cells. This concentrated PRF is then placed into the surgical site to enhance tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation.


The result is a faster, more comfortable recovery with reduced pain and improved bone healing, all achieved using your body’s own biological materials.

Root Canal (Endodontic) Therapy

Teeth are complex structures composed of more than just enamel and roots. At the center of each tooth lies a pulp chamber, which contains connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves that help nourish and support the tooth during development.


Sensitivity to pressure, heat, or cold can indicate underlying issues such as dental decay, trauma, or infection affecting the pulp. The severity of discomfort often correlates with the extent of the damage and nerve involvement.


When the dental pulp becomes irreversibly inflamed or necrotic, root canal therapy may be recommended to save the tooth. This procedure involves removing the damaged pulp, disinfecting the internal space, and sealing it to prevent further infection. As long as the remaining tooth structure is healthy and there is adequate bone support, extraction is not necessary

.

A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment can continue to function normally, as the dental pulp is no longer essential once the tooth has fully matured. This allows you to retain your natural tooth and avoid more invasive procedures.

Crown and Bridge

Although dental enamel is the hardest substance in the human body—even stronger than bone—teeth are still susceptible to decay, trauma, and wear. While dental fillings are highly effective for treating small areas of damage or decay, they may not offer the necessary strength or coverage when a significant portion of the tooth structure has been compromised.


In such cases, a dental crown (or "cap") provides a more durable and comprehensive solution. Crowns are recommended when a tooth has been extensively damaged by decay, trauma, root canal therapy, or excessive wear due to clenching or grinding. They fully encase the visible portion of the tooth to restore its strength, function, and natural appearance.


When one or more teeth are missing, a dental bridge can offer an effective and fixed replacement option. A bridge spans the gap left by missing teeth, with crowns (abutments) placed on the adjacent healthy teeth to support the prosthetic teeth (pontics) in between. Bridges restore proper bite alignment, improve function, and maintain the natural contour of your smile.

Composite Fillings

During a dental filling procedure, the affected tooth is completely numbed to ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience. The decayed portion of the tooth is gently removed using advanced techniques such as a dental drill, laser, or air abrasion, depending on the specific clinical need. Once the decay has been thoroughly removed and only healthy tooth structure remains, the cavity is prepared for restoration.


We use tooth-colored composite resin for our fillings, which is carefully shade-matched to your natural teeth for a seamless and aesthetic result. The composite material is bonded to the tooth, helping to seal and strengthen the structure while restoring its original shape and function. The filling is then precisely shaped, polished, and adjusted to ensure proper bite alignment and long-term comfort.


Compared to traditional amalgam fillings, composite restorations offer several advantages, including a more conservative approach (preserving more of your natural tooth structure) and greater resistance to thermal expansion and contraction, which can enhance the longevity of your restoration.

Dentures

All of our doctors are highly experienced in designing partial, complete, and implant-supported dentures, all of which are custom-fabricated by trusted local dental laboratories in Western New York.

The Wand

At our office, all anesthetic injections are administered using a state-of-the-art system known as The Wand. Unlike traditional syringes, The Wand offers a more comfortable and precise delivery of local anesthesia. Its innovative design minimizes discomfort, enhances accuracy, and improves the overall patient experience. By using The Wand, we’re able to provide a gentler and more effective alternative to conventional injections—making dental visits easier for patients of all ages. 

Before and After - Dental Implants

Mark's Testimonial

"I just finished getting full dental implants (top and bottom) at WFD and couldn’t be happier with the results! This is a five-star practice, without a doubt. The equipment is state-of-the-art and the staff are genuinely caring and non-judgemental. If you have dental anxiety this is the place for you!
“Dr. Kathy” Casacci and her wonderful assistant Eileen handled my case from extractions to finish. Dr. Kathy is an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled oral surgeon, and provided plenty of advice and products to help my healing process along the way. Thanks again to everyone at WFD for improving my quality of life!"
