Technology
With the new technology available to modern dentistry, an unpleasant or aging smile can be transformed into a brilliant smile that will sparkle for years to come. Whether you need to replace a single tooth, restore an aging smile, or reconstruct your entire mouth, we can create a new smile that will make you look and feel your best.
Cosmetic
Cosmetic dentistry enables us to whiten discolored or stained teeth or to repair and reshape teeth without the use of injections or drilling. The same dental professionals that you trust to keep your teeth and gums healthy can also provide an in-office whitening treatment that gives you a brighter, healthier smile. You simply relax while they take care of the whitening procedure.
Bridges
Bridges replace missing teeth by “bridging” the gap between two remaining teeth. Most often a bridge consists of a false tooth connected to two crowns, one on each side. There are other types of bridges and Implants are another option for replaceing missing teeth. The Doctor will explain the advantages and disadvantages of all the options available for your condition.
Same DayCrowns
Crowns, also called caps, are used to cover damaged or discolored teeth. They are made of porcelain and gold and cover the entire tooth, starting at the gum line. Crowns strengthen teeth by binding the sides of the weakened tooth together, much the way a splint holds together a broken bone. Crowns improve the appearance of a tooth but they are not primarily cosmetic devices. We may recommend crowns to protect or strengthen weakened teeth, or to restore a disfigured tooth to its original shape. “Capping” a tooth requires buffing away part of a tooth to make room for the crown, so we discourages crowns as a cosmetic method.
Implants
People who wear removable partial and full dentures are now learning that they may no longer have to. These people as well as those who now have permanent non-removable fixed bridges can now replace them with Dental Implants. Dental Implants are also an option for those needing dentures for the first time.
Orthodontics
Our office is certified by Invisalign. It is now possible to straighten crooked and misaligned teeth with clear removable braces. Comfortable to wear, the clear plastic tray is easily removed so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss as usual. Even remove them for a night out on the town.
With Invisalign, you won’t draw undue attention to your mouth while in treatment. In fact, virtually no one will know you’re wearing them unless you tell them.
Periodontal
A periodontal evaluation is a routine part of our preventive care program. We have a periodontist on staff to provide all of your periodontal care.
Preventive
Our office is firmly committed to the prevention of oral diseases and the subsequent general medical problems that they, in turn, can cause. We work with you to develop a personalized preventive maintenance routine, featuring the latest methods. This is supplemented by a regular professional cleaning and polishing.
Restoration
We provide the most advanced white porcelain, mercury-free, restorations. The white porcelain composite is proven to be as durable as the old fashion fillings while providing cosmetic advantages.
