Traditionally, replacing missing teeth only meant rebuilding what was visible above the gum line, but state-of-the-art dental implants have transformed this important process for the better. Now, we can seamlessly recreate every part of the natural dental structure, including the root that provides vital support. This means that the new addition is virtually identical to the lost tooth, providing beautiful aesthetic quality, excellent function, and long-term durability. No one will even know your smile isn’t completely natural!
Learn About Dental Implants
Our dentists will always go above and beyond to help patients preserve their natural teeth throughout the years, but sometimes, an extraction is what’s best for your health and wellbeing. These procedures are always approached with your comfort as the #1 priority. If the removed tooth or teeth need to be replaced, Dr. Lavinder will also work with you to determine the best option for your preferences and budget right away, so any time spent without a complete smile is kept to a minimum.

At Collinsville Dental Associates, our desire to help neighbors smile brighter doesn’t just end when we leave the dental office. We love improving our community and giving back to those who need it most!

Better yet, the raised money is donated to local food banks. We also regularly get involved with Smiles for Schools and other worthwhile organizations in the local area.

Learn About CareCredit®While you should naturally call 911 if there’s an issue that threatens your life, it’s important to keep in mind that most emergency rooms lack the means to properly handle common dental emergencies such as severe toothaches or teeth that have become badly damaged in an accident. Therefore, if you need emergency dental care, your best bet is to call your dentist.
Our practice offers same-day appointments for dental emergencies, so you can rest assured that we’ll be able to see you as soon as possible if you’re suffering from an urgent dental problem. During your emergency appointment, we will take the time to learn more about your specific issue and what caused it. We’ll also help you find relief if you’re currently struggling with pain. Then we’ll put together a personalized treatment plan for you.

Make a list of the points that matter the most to you; this could include whether the practice will take your insurance or how close it is to your place of residence. That way, you’ll be able to search for a dental office that fits your specific needs.
