Modern Dental Implants to Replace Missing Teeth
With a success rate of over 98%, dental implants have quickly risen to the gold standard in replacing one or more missing or damaged teeth. As opposed to other more traditional options such as crowns, bridges, dentures and partials — dental implants replace the entire tooth structure. This includes the roots in addition to the crown, with the result being a very stable replacement indistinguishable from natural teeth. Best of all, implants can last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
CEREC® 1- Visit Crowns Will Save Time & Money
CEREC® is a revolutionary technology that creates custom dental crowns in just one visit to our office in your area. Crowns typically involve wearing a temporary for a week or two while an outside lab fabricates the finished product, forcing patients into at least two visits. With CEREC®, the entire process is distilled down to a few hours. All-digital impressions are first taken then sent digitally to our milling unit which fabricates the restoration. Dr. Koenitzer seats the crown, and you are on your way!
Invisalign® & Six Month Smiles® to Straighten Your Teeth
Desire a straighter smile? If you need perfectly aligned teeth quickly, Six Month Smiles® is a fantastic option. As the name suggests, treatment is completed in as little as six months — and we have helped many brides-to-be and graduates attain picture-perfect teeth before their big day. If you have a little more time to spare and dislike the thought of wires and brackets, Invisalign® is for you. Utilizing a series of clear aligner trays, average treatment time is eight to 12 months.

Frequently Asked Questions – Answered!
Are you looking for a cosmetic dentist in Petaluma? You likely have some unanswered questions, so we’re here to help! Here are the answers to some of the most common questions we receive at our practice. If you don’t see the information that you are looking for below, don’t worry. Give us a call and we’d be happy to address any of your questions or concerns.
How do I find the best place to get dental work done?
The first thing to do is to define exactly what you are looking for in a dentist. For most, this is a combination of accepting your insurance, location, and credentials. It is also important to consider the type of dental care that you need. Are you just looking for routine cleanings and checkups? Are you interested in cosmetic dentistry? Do you have some restorative work to take care of? You should choose a dentist who offers these services. Lastly, you want to get a feel for the practice. You can do this by reading online reviews and checking out the dentist’s biographical information on their website. These are great ways to find a dentist who meets the criteria that you have established.
How much does a dental check-up & cleaning cost in Petaluma?
The cost of a cleaning and checkup can vary depending on multiple factors – like where you live. This appointment should begin with going over your health history and discussing any concerns that you have. It should also include a thorough exam by your dentist, a professional cleaning, X-rays, and an oral cancer screening. The average cost in markets throughout the United States is between $200 and $350. If you have dental insurance, this cost is likely partially or completely covered by your insurance provider.
What do you do if you can't afford a dentist?
Dentistry is all about prevention. It is affordable and offers high value if you work with your dentist to prevent oral health issues before they arise. Dental insurance is a helpful tool to pay for dental care. If you have access to it, this is something to take advantage of! We are proud to be in-network with Delta Dental PPO to reduce our patients’ out-of-pocket costs. If you don’t have dental insurance, we are happy to accept payments through CareCredit – a third-party financing company that can split the cost of your treatment into manageable monthly installments with little to no interest.
What level of education is required to be a dentist?
Every dentist in the United States needs to receive either a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS) degree from one of the 67 Accredited dental schools in the US. To get accepted into dental school requires a bachelor’s degree. Dental school takes three years to complete with a combination of classroom and hands-on learning. To keep their license, dentists must complete a certain number of continuing education hours each year.
