Our team can help to relieve the discomfort of a toothache, cavity, root canal, or tooth loss by healing your smile and restoring functionality.
Benefits of Dental Implants and how they work
Dental implants are small titanium posts designed to replace missing teeth while mimicking the function of natural tooth roots. Dental implants do not involve a removable prosthetic appliance that sits along the gums like dentures.
Dental implants are actually inserted into the gums and anchored to the jawbone, where they should fuse to the bone during a process called "osseointegration." A permanent dental crown attached to the post then serves as the replacement tooth, which can give you results that feel and appear like an original tooth.

Types of Metairie Dentures & How They Work
When all of your teeth are missing, full, complete dentures can replace them. This is the type of dentures that you typically see in cartoons and movies. Technology has improved in recent years, making them more comfortable and natural-looking than ever.
If only a few of your teeth are missing, a partial denture can be a good solution for replacing them. Unlike a full set of dentures, these are held in place by a plastic base that is the same color as your gums. A metal framework is typically created in order to secure the base and prevent it from falling out. As long as you have natural teeth in place, you cannot wear a full set, so a partial set of dentures is necessary.
We treat patients throughout the Metairie area that want to know if a partial set of dentures is better than a cosmetic procedure. They function differently because dentures are removable and cosmetic dentistry solutions are typically permanent. If you live in the Metairie LA area, call for your consultation and we can provide you with a list of options to consider.
For full dentures, Dr. Charvet and Dr. Charvet Jr. can determine if this is the best way to replace your teeth or if an alternative solution will help you to achieve your goals. If you proceed with getting a complete set of dentures, your gums will be healed and ready in eight to 12 weeks after your teeth have been removed. Following teeth removal, the bones and gums will start to shrink.
How Do Metairie Dental Crowns Work?
A crown is used to entirely cover a damaged tooth, strengthening it and improving its appearance, shape, or alignment. A crown can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a more functional tooth-like shape and structure.
At Charvet Dental, we believe dental crowns should look, feel, and function like real teeth. We use a proprietary milling process to fabricate all of our crowns, and our careful delivery techniques ensure they maintain this anatomy when they are adjusted to fit. We can also match any available shade of tooth you desire. By choosing a blending shade similar to the neighboring natural teeth, we can allow these teeth to "disappear," and not stand out as 'fake' or 'prosthetic' once they are placed in your mouth. Our Metairie crowns provide beauty, fit, and stability, along with long-term results you can trust.
