Crowns
A crown is used to cover a tooth and restore to its normal shape and function. A crown can help strengthen when there isn’t enough tooth remaining to hold a large filling. A crown is a good way to cover teeth which are discolored or badly shaped. It is also used to cover a dental implant.
Bridges
A bridge is used to replace missing teeth. Unlike partials, a bridge is fixed and is permanently cemented into place.
Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of teeth. They are an option for correcting stained, chipped, decayed or crooked teeth.
Dental Implants
A popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are made of titanium and other materials that are compatible with the human body. There are generally three phases to getting an implant. First, the dentist surgically placed the implant into the jawbone. Next, the bone around the implant heals in a process called osseointegration which means the implant has to combine and adapt to the bone. Osseointegration may take up to several months. Then it’s time for placement of the artificial teeth or tooth. For single tooth implants, your dentist will customize a new tooth for you called a dental crown. The crown is designed to blend with your other teeth.
If you are interested in dental implants, you must be evaluated to see if you are a good candidate based on your overall health. Chronic illness such as diabetes or leukemia may interfere with healing after surgery. Tobacco use can also slow healing.
Composite Fillings
Composite fillings are natural-looking fillings used to fill decayed teeth. They closely match the natural color of your teeth.
Periodontal treatment
We use the latest technology to prevent, diagnose and treat periodontal disease (gum and bone disease) by removing dental plaque and calculus in the coronal part as well in the root surfaces, helping to establish oral health.
Night Guards and Sports Mouth Guards
Night guards protect the teeth from wear and fracture for people people who grind their teeth. Sports guards protect teeth during contact sports.
Sealants
Protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to prevent cavities.
Root Canal Treatment
Used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. The treatment consists of the removal of inflamed or diseased nerve and pulp. The inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. If the infected pulp is not removed, pain and swelling can result.
The causes of an infected pulp include: a deep cavity, a cracked or broken tooth, injury to the tooth.
Complete and Partial Dentures
If you have several missing teeth, a removable partial or complete denture can be made to replace your missing teeth and improve your smile.
Extractions
If a tooth is severely damaged and cannot be saved, the tooth may need to be extracted and replaced with an implant, bridge or partial.
