Medical and dental professionals have extensively researched X-rays and established safety guidelines. Dr. Ormaza uses the fewest X-rays possible and will only recommend them when necessary to diagnose a specific issue. With advancements in technology, digital X-rays used today emit significantly less radiation and are much safer than traditional X-rays used in the past.
During your initial dental exam after a prolonged absence, X-rays may be necessary to assess the health of your teeth and gums. If you have gum disease, Dr. Ormaza may recommend X-rays every six months to monitor your progress. For regular checkups, X-rays are typically taken every two years. Our team is committed to providing you and your family with safe and comprehensive dental care. We utilize state-of-the-art technology to ensure our X-rays are as secure and efficient as possible.

At Smilodon Dental, we offer many types of implants. The most popular include:
Single-tooth dental implants
Multiple teeth dental implants
Full-arch dental implants can replace all teeth in an arch, usually with four to six posts
Implant-supported bridges can replace several missing teeth in the same area
The duration of a dental implant procedure can vary depending on several factors, including oral health, the number of implants, and the complexity. Generally, the process involves several stages, including the initial consultation and evaluation, the surgical placement of the dental implant, a healing period of several months, and a prosthetic tooth or teeth on top of the implant.
On average, the entire process can take several months to a year or more to complete. However, some cases can be completed in a shorter timeframe, such as same-day implant placement with immediate loading of the prosthetic tooth. Dr. Ormaza can provide a more accurate estimate of the expected timeline for your specific case during your consultation.
Caring for dental implants is very similar to caring for natural teeth. Brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash are necessary for maintaining proper oral hygiene with implants. Regular checkups and teeth cleanings are essential for caring for your implants. At night, remove implant-supported dentures and soak them in a denture solution. Patients can also use an oral irrigator to help clean below and around the dental implants.
