To replace your missing teeth with dental implants, you will need to undergo surgery. As such, you should do plenty of research before choosing the right dental practice for the procedure. Factors you will want to consider are the credentials of the dentist in question and what their approach to dental implants is (as in, whether they handle every stage of the process or will refer you to an outside specialist for implant placement).
At our practice, we have multiple knowledgeable dental experts who have plenty of education and training when it comes to dental implants. Dr. William has earned a specialty certificate in Implant Dentistry, completed a two-year fellowship position in Implant Dentistry at Harvard School of Dental Medicine, and co-authored more than 20 articles on Implant Dentistry and Prosthodontics. Dr. Gatti has completed a Fellowship in Surgical Implantology from the New York University College of Dentistry, and he is a Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics. Dr. Govostes is a periodontist who partially focuses on implant dentistry.
Most dentists recommend having at least two dental checkups and cleanings performed each year. Of course, not every patient will pay the exact same amount for these visits. In the United States, the average cost of a single checkup and cleaning is between $200 and $350 on average. Some of the factors that can influence the final price include the geographic location of the practice and the current condition of your mouth.
Remember, having regular checkups and cleanings performed can ultimately help you avoid more advanced dental problems, which means you’re less likely to need to pay for more complex forms of treatment.
Ask yourself just what it is you’re looking for. Do you need a dentist who can perform a frenectomy to free your child’s overly restricted tongue or lip? Are you simply looking for a practice that’s close to your home so that you don’t have to drive too far for regular checkups and cleanings? Write down all the traits that matter the most to you. Then search for dental practices that fit these criteria; when you find some, you can explore the websites of the practices in question to get a feel for what they’re like and how they approach dental care.
While it’s generally recommended to have a tongue-tie released as early in life as possible, adults can still be candidates for the procedure. Undergoing tongue-tie treatment as an adult can help address breathing issues and potentially reduce sleep apnea symptoms. On top of that, since tongue-tie can increase your risk for gum disease and cavities, treating it can ultimately improve your oral health in the long run.

The New York Times has published “Inside the Booming Business of Cutting Babies’ Tongues” on December 18th, 2023. At Lexington Smile Studio, we are glad that attention is brought to this topic, as there has been an overwhelming number of providers who have recently started doing lip and tongue tie releases, and treat these procedures as a business only.
At Lexington Smile Studio, we have been providing these services for more than 10 years working in close collaboration with lactation consultants, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, myofunctional therapists and pediatricians. We are not a one stop practice.
Dr Rosenberg first and now Dr McElligott have been caring for infants and their mothers for a long time with dedication, empathy, understanding and teamwork with the other specialists involved. As Dr McElligott explains to parents during consultations, this is a process not a procedure.
Our success has been based over the years on word of mouth from the families we have treated. Our success is the magnitude of babies who are now thriving because of the release they received by us and, just as importantly, the magnitude of babies who didn’t receive it, simply because we directed the families to the right specialists.
We truly care for all parents and their infants’ well being and we hope that this article will raise public awareness so that families will put their babies in the hands of the right providers.
