- You have been referred by your general dentist due to the complexity of your dental needs
- You are considering dental implants or have had complications from implant treatment
- You are experiencing problems chewing due to your bite, badly worn teeth, or trouble with your dentures
- You are missing teeth due to decay, accidents, or surgery
- You are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth
