Hair Restoration Procedure
Hair transplantation is about transplanting the bald resistant hair follicles from the back of the head to the balding areas on the top of the head.The state of art hair transplantation procedure that we recommend is called Follicular Hair Unit Transplantation.
A typical session of between 1,500 to 3,000 grafts normally involves a full day of surgery on an out patient basis. The amount of grafts you will need ultimately depends on your degree of hair loss, now and in the future, and on how full you desire your hair to be.
Patients are given local anesthesia in the donor and recipient areas. The graft is taken from the occipital region and then prepared. Incisions are placed at the recipient site.The incisions are very small and less invasive. This results in more rapid healing.Following surgery patients will typically feel some amount of soreness and numbness, with some mild discomfort.
Immediately following surgery a patient’s recipient area is typically pink with scabs forming around the micro incisions. These hundreds of tiny incisions will heal rapidly within a week to ten days.
During the first few days after the surgery a person’s hair transplants will be noticeable if there is no previous hair to mask these temporary scabs. However, most patients feel comfortable being in public without wearing a hat within 5 to 7 days following surgery.
Normally it takes between three to five months following surgery before the transplanted hair follicles begin to grow new hair. The transplanted hair grows in very thin initially and gradually grows thicker and fuller over time. After one year a patient’s transplanted hair will be fully mature and will continue to grow for a life time.

Veneers...
 | |
| Before After |
Dental veneers are a form of cosmetic dentistry in which a layer of tooth-colored porcelain or composite is placed over the outer surfaces of your teeth to correct worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment or spacing, discoloration and chips or cracks.
Veneers may eliminate the need for more extensive treatments. Other benefits of veneers include durability, an improved smile appearance, and the need for little-to-no removal of tooth structure compared to crowns.

Socket Preservation...
Socket Preservation is a procedure in which graft material or scaffold is placed in the socket of an extracted tooth at the time of extraction to preserve the alveolar ridge.Without socket preservation, the bone quickly resorbs.
After tooth extraction, the alveolar ridge will commonly decrease in volume and change morphologically. These changes are usually clinically significant and can make placement of a conventional bridge or an implant-supported crown difficult. If bone resorption is significant enough, then placement of an implant may become extremely challenging. Post extraction maintenance of the alveolar ridge minimizes residual ridge resorption and, thus, allows placement of an implant that satisfies esthetic and functional criteria.
