The use of digital imaging also allows for the electronic transmission of images to third-party providers, referring dentists, consultants, and insurance carriers via a modem.

Additionally, Drs. Karen Lawitts and Nancy Yeates, cosmetic dentists in Syracuse, are pleased to offer implant restoration when patients are missing a tooth, or multiple teeth. Dental implants are a popular and extremely effective way to replace missing teeth.

Made up of titanium and other materials that are compatible with the human body, implants are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw to act as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth.
