RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
TOOTH COLORED FILLINGS
The decayed portion of the tooth is removed and then filled with tooth colored resin. This helps maintain tooth structure while providing the same shape and color of your original tooth.
CROWNS
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped “caps” that are permanently cemented over the visible part of a tooth. The crown restores the shape, size, strength and color of your original tooth. The crown is cemented into place on your tooth and it covers the visible portion of the tooth. The first appointment replaces the missing tooth structure and a temporary crown is placed while your impressions are sent to a lab for the permanent crown. Two-three weeks later, the patient comes back to cement the permanent crown into place. Material Types for crowns are gold, porcelain, and silver.
PORCELAIN BRIDGE
If you are missing one to two teeth, a porcelain bridge may be an option for you. Bridges are not removable and provide the same shape, color and function of your natural teeth.
IMPLANTS
A titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. A crown is placed on the visible part of the post. At the end of treatment you will have the look and function of a real tooth.
REMOVABLE DENTURES AND PARTIALS
Complete Dentures are needed when a patient is missing an entire arch of teeth. Our Complete Dentures use the most natural teeth while providing ultimate function and appearance. Partials are needed when a patient is missing a one to several teeth. This allows the restoration of chewing force and the aesthetic appeal of real teeth when a patient wants to show off their smile.
ROOT CANAL
Root canal therapy is a simple, common procedure that can save a severely damaged or infected tooth. Through a small entry point at the top of your tooth, we can remove the infected pulp from your root canals. Once your tooth is cleaned out and disinfected, we’ll seal it with a tooth-colored filling.
