Dental Procedures

Preventive:

Routine cleanings and exams are a vital part of keeping your mouth healthy, almost as important as the care you provide at home with daily brushing and flossing. Avoid major problems by finding them early while they are still minor.

Restoration of Damaged Teeth:

If there is a need to repair your teeth because of decay, wear or chipping teeth, we can do this with tooth-colored fillings (composites) or traditional Amalgam. Teeth more extensively damaged can usually be remade with tooth colored crowns.

Replacement of Missing Teeth:

Missing teeth can be replaced with artificial tooth options:

  • surgically placed (implants)
  • permanently fixed in place (bridges)
  • removable (dentures)

Cosmetic Redesigns of Your Smile:

Cosmetic improvement of your smile can be done by choosing different materials to restore your teeth and/or by reshaping your teeth. Ask for a free consultation of a complete smile design that considers your wishes and expectations. Frequently considered options:

  • Fillings — we can use tooth colored material (composite or porcelain inlays).
  • Crowns — it is possible to use a gold interior for a richer color, or make the crown of all porcelain for the ultimate “natural” appearance.
  • Veneers — porcelain facings can improve discolored, crooked, or chipped teeth

Periodontics

This is the specialty of treating gums. Initially, gum disease causes no pain so it is difficult to notice on your own. One of the symptoms is bleeding gums when you brush your teeth. Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss and bad breath.

Periodontics can also improve your appearance by recontouring your gums to better frame your teeth.

Endodontics (Root Canals)

This procedure removes the infected pulp and enables you to keep your teeth and be free of pain.

Whitening (Bleaching)

We have prescription strength products which you can easily use at home to whiten your teeth.
