We will be welcoming Botox Walk-Ins on the last Thursday afternoon of each month starting in March.  What a great way to "freshen up" for spring and summer, it's just around the corner!!Look for our ads in The Southern Illinoisan newspaperon our Botox Days!!!  

 

Smile for the cameras!!!

We've added a professional grade photography studio upstairs at Hughes Dental Arts Centre.  We use the studio for Smileography! By using Smileography I can provide someone very accurate before and after pictures prior to initiating any treatment.

Preview a NEW SMILE like never before! See the result before spending time and money!  Reality is that most of us don't need anything EXTREME, but you could benefit from a few small and simple things to bring out the most in your smile. Examples include lightening, replacing aging unattractive dental work, fixing single dark teeth, recontouring, or repositioning of teeth that would be perfectly attractive if they weren't crooked. Even if you feel your smile needs a complete overhaul, you may be surprised what a difference can be made by addressing only a few problem areas.

What is All-on-Four?

Permanent Teeth in just one Day!!

Dr. Hughes'  Smile in a Day procedure using the All-on-Four dental implant technique is the optimal solution for those who have lost or are about to lose all of their upper and/or lower teeth. With this procedure, you can come as close to having a new set of permanent teeth as is currently possible.

Those who replace their dentures with All-on-Four dental implants will never have to remove their replacement teeth again for cleaning because their new teeth can be cleaned and maintained just like a natural set of teeth.

If you are looking at the possibility of having to wear dentures but choose All-on-Four dental implants, you will never have to experience the crippling effects of loose dentures, being unable to eat the foods you enjoy, messy adhesives, removing teeth at night, the embarrassment of dentures slipping during speech or smiling or the bad breath associated with wearing dentures.

All-on-Four Dental Implants Technique

The All-on-Four technique utilizes four dental implants to attach your new set of permanent replacement teeth. The implants used in this procedure are specially designed for immediate function and typically do not require bone grafting.

In most cases, patients lacking the bone volume required to support traditional implants are able to enjoy the many benefits of a permanent solution to missing teeth with this procedure.

Beautiful New Teeth in One Day
Due to the rigid structure of the replacement teeth and the cross-stabilization provided by the dental implants, you can go home that same day with a new set of teeth, even when extractions of failing teeth are required.

Gentle oral sedation assures each patient maximum safety and comfort throughout the procedure. In addition, the entire process, including any necessary extractions, can be completed in one day with minimal recovery time. The result is a fully functional set of teeth that looks and feels natural, enhances self-confidence and allows individuals to once again experience the foods and activities they enjoy most.

Less Downtime
The All-on-Four technique delivers the maximum results in the shortest time with minimal discomfort. Most patients experience only minor soreness the next day and can eat a light meal that same evening. In most cases, you may even return to work the next day.
