What Treasure Island dental work covers
Implants, full-arch replacement, dentures and extractions, plus the restorative work that surrounds them. A crown covers a tooth whose surface has failed while the root is still good. A root canal removes the inflamed nerve so a tooth can stay rather than come out.
The order is always the same: keep what can be kept, then plan a replacement for what cannot.
Planning an implant case
The jaw is scanned before surgery is scheduled. A cone beam CT scan shows a 3D image of your jaw’s anatomy, which decides where a fixture can sit and how many a full arch needs, usually four to six. Gums are treated first where they need it.
After placement the bone grows around the fixtures over months, and the crown or arch is fitted after that, made to the shape and shade the plan set.
The titanium post, and what sits on it
The part that goes into the bone is a post, and it replaces the root rather than the tooth. What you see afterward is the crown that is fitted on top of it, made to the shape and shade of the teeth beside it. Those are two separate pieces of work, months apart, which is why implant treatment is quoted as a course rather than as one appointment.

Treasure Island dental questions
Is a crown or an extraction better for a damaged tooth?
A crown, whenever the root is healthy and only the surface of the tooth is the problem. Extraction is the last resort, for a tooth that cannot be saved.
How many visits does an implant take?
Several, spread over months. Consult, scan, placement, then the fitted crown or arch once the bone has grown around the fixture.
