Implant Dentistry
Implant dentistry offers secure and long-lasting dental solutions to missing teeth. An implant is a metallic anchor that is inserted into the jawbone to act as a natural tooth root. The titanium from which the implant is crafted is not recognized by the body’s immune system, therefore the body will not reject the implant. After placement, the implant integrates with the jawbone to give stable support for the artificial replacement tooth to which it will be attached.
Implant dentistry provides our Greensburg area patients with replacement teeth that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The new teeth are strong, durable, and are nearly indistinguishable from other teeth. The best candidates for dental implants are patients with sufficient bone level and healthy gums.
Whether you are missing one tooth or need a full set of artificial teeth, implant dentistry is available to you. If you are interested in tooth replacement with dental implants, please call our office today. We can evaluate you to confirm you are a suitable candidate for implants and answer any questions you may have.
Custom Dentures
Tooth loss can cause many physical and aesthetic problems. Missing teeth can prevent comfortable chewing, impair speech, and induce feelings of unease about a patient’s smile. Fortunately, Dr. Lane offers custom dentures to his patients. Custom dentures are designed to precisely fit the individual patient’s mouth and provide superior comfort and function. To ensure maximum aesthetics, the new dentures can be matched to existing teeth. Dr. Lane offers both partial and full dentures to his patients:
Partial dentures are ideal for patients who have lost only some of their teeth. They are strong, durable, and provide for maximum chewing comfort. When properly fitted, it is almost impossible to distinguish the dentures from natural teeth.
Full dentures are intended for patients who have lost all of their teeth. Full dentures are medically necessary so that a patient can comfortably chew and speak. Aesthetically, full dentures can be made to match the size and shape of the patient’s mouth; this helps maintain the definition of the jaw line.
In some cases, implant dentistry can help patients to secure their dentures. Please contact Dr. Lane today for more information about custom dentures and implant dentistry.
Dental Bridges
If you are suffering from missing teeth, pain when biting, or you are having trouble speaking or chewing, you may be an excellent candidate for bridges. We are proud to offer this service to our patients at our Greensburg office. Dental bridges, sometimes referred to as fixed partial dentures, literally bridge gaps between teeth by filling them with strong, natural-looking artificial teeth. Patients usually notice immediate improvement in overall dental health and comfort after bridges have been placed.

Periodontics & Laser Dentistry
Dr. Lane is pleased to offer laser dentistry at his Greensburg dental practice. Laser dentistry is a revolutionary advancement that allows Dr. Lane to perform a variety of services with little to no discomfort. Laser dentistry can be used to treat periodontal (gum) disease, aid in tooth whitening, and even help to diagnose dental problems. Dr. Lane has completed extensive training in the usage of laser dentistry and is proud to offer his patients the latest in laser technology.
Periodontal Treatment With Laser Dentistry
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease and gingivitis, can have many negative effects on a patient’s overall dental health. Caused by bacteria found in plaque, gum disease occurs most often in pregnant women, patients that have not been instructed in proper home care including brushing and flossing techniques, and patients who neglect routine oral care. Common symptoms of periodontal disease are swollen, red, and bleeding gums or a receding gum line. If allowed to progress to advanced stages, periodontal disease can result in tooth loss and other health problems. Despite promises made by some companies, products bought over the counter cannot treat periodontal disease. Patients must seek professional treatment by a dentist who has been trained in periodontal care. Fortunately, Dr. Lane offers professional periodontal treatment with laser dentistry at his Greensburg office. Depending on the stage of the disease, patients may require several treatments to effectively and permanently eliminate gum disease.
Unfortunately, once gum tissue has receded it does not grow back. That’s why it is imperative that you contact Dr. Lane immediately if you suspect you are suffering from periodontal disease
