A dental implant is a surgical device designed to replace a missing tooth. It is an artificial tooth root that is embedded in the jaw and functions as a natural tooth. Success or failure of an implant depends on the health and oral hygiene of the patient. Implants can last as long as 15 years or more according to studies.
A dental crown is a way to repair a damaged tooth by placing a cap over it. It may be recommended if you have a tooth with a cavity too large to fill, your tooth is cracked, broken, weakened, or has been severely worn down. This allows you to keep the tooth without risking further damage when you use it to eat.
Dentures are a replacement for missing teeth. They can be partial dentures, which replace a limited number of teeth, or full dentures, which replace all of the teeth. Unlike your natural teeth, dentures are removed from the mouth for cleaning and to allow you to clean your gums and tongue. However, when fitted and worn properly, they look just like your natural teeth and can be used just as you would your natural teeth.
A smile is one way people can reveal their personality to the world. So when a smile is crooked or teeth are crowded, they may not want to show their beautiful smile. There are lots of reasons that your teeth may be crooked or overcrowded, but they don't have to stay that way. There are options to give you a smile that reflects your inner beauty.
More than 35 million Americans are missing either all of their upper teeth or all of their lower teeth, and to restore full functionality and a great smile, many of those individuals have opted to undergo all-on-4 dental implants. If you haven't heard of this relatively new technology, it involves replacing all uppers or lowers with just four dental implants, and it's a much more stable replacement than dentures.

I had the best dental experience here today. I had to have my two front teeth worked on and was dreading it due to previous experiences elsewhere plus the whole craziness with covid but I was put at ease as soon as I walked in the door. The front office ladies are wonderful, they followed all covid procedures and the office was very clean. The doctor did great work and I had no pain, even 5 hours later after the numbness wore off. I'm very impressed at how great my teeth look and feel! I highly recommend coming here for your dental needs.

One of the best dental experience of my life, I'm terrified of dental procedures, but Dr. Maria Cook made it so easy, she is so gentle and patient. Felt no pain and I was so relaxed during the procedure. Alicia at the front desk is also very friendly. Overall it was great. Place was very clean and they follow covid procedures. Will definitely recommend them. Happy to have found a place that I feel comfortable going to.

10 STARS to Dr. Maria, Vanessa at the front desk and sweet Sandra the dental hygienist! I had a dental emergency recently and being new to SoFl needed to find a Dentist right away. I did some search On-line and decided to go see Dr. Maria Hook. I was basically a Walk-in and they graciously welcomed me. Vanessa at the front desk was very nice and welcoming. Sandra the Dental hygienist was very friendly and sweet and helped me to relax about what I was experiencing at that time. Then I met Dr. Maria...Wow! What a charming personality! She patiently listened to all my concerns (including the financial

5 stars are not enough for Dr Cook !
She is the best dentist I ever went to in my life, I am 60! I have a fear of dentists as a result of the sub standard care I received. Dr Cook has changed all that. She is amazing, highly professional and ethical. She does not recommend treatments that are totally unnecessary just for profit like other dentists do. I was explained what was needed, why, and how much it would cost me. No pressure! The office staff all wonderful. Dee was so knowledgeable regarding insurance and other payment options to allow me to finally get the care I very much needed. I had

Besides having a very friendly staff, Dr Maria Cook is the best dentist I have ever used....She actually cares about me as her patient...I had a complete cosmetic makeover of my upper teeth as they were all chipped and stained from over 50 years of use and abuse....My smile has never been better...And her prices were 30% lower than any other dentist I consulted with prior to doing this work....I highly recommend her for any dental need....
