-
Dental FillingsWe use composite materials to repair cavities, cracks, and other damages to both front and back teeth.
-
Dental CrownsCrowns are porcelain or metal caps that cover a tooth in order to help regain and strengthen a tooth while trying to maintain overall aesthetic. Crowns are an effective method to treat cracked, worn, decayed, or broken teeth.
-
BridgesBridges are a way to help fill a gap where a tooth is missing. This involves a crown on each tooth next to the gap with the replacement crown fused together that sits on the gums. It is an effective way of filling a gap by also preventing other teeth in this area from moving.
-
Full and partial denturesA partial denture is a removable way of replacing one or multiple teeth. A full or complete denture is a removable way of replacing either all upper or all lower teeth. We work with a lab to make this an option for you.
-
Implant restorationAn option to replace a missing tooth is to put a titanium fixture into your jawbone where the tooth’s root used to be (usually placed by a dental specialist). We work with the specialist to then place an artificial tooth into this fixture.
-
ExtractionsAn extraction is a removal of a tooth- usually the last resort. We strive to save teeth, but if there is not enough tooth left, a crack is beyond repair, etc, this may be the only option.
-
Hygiene ServicesAn important way to maintain good oral health is by regular hygiene appointments in office involving deep tooth cleanings both above and below the gums with scaler instruments and a polisher. A fluoride treatment may also be suggested to help strengthen teeth in order to try and prevent cavities.
-
Non-Surgical Root Canal TherapyWhen a tooth has a cavity that is going into the nerve of the tooth or if a tooth is in the process or dying or already dead, it may require a root canal. A root canal involves removing diseased tissue and the nerve on the inside of the tooth and replacing this with a filling material inside the tooth. It is trying to avoid removal of the tooth if possible.
-
Porcelain VeneersA porcelain veneer is usually more of a cosmetic and very much specific situational option to correct things like stains/shade, misalignment and unwanted spacing between front teeth on teeth that do not require a full tooth coverage crown.
-
TMJ (TMD) TherapyTMJ (temporomandibular jaw) disorder can cause issues to your jaw and muscles of the face resulting in teeth grinding and/or pain. Depending on each case and severity, we make a treatment plan based on each patient’s needs to try and relieve these issues. Some forms of treatment include at home methods/exercises or a biteplane to wear at night.
-
Teeth WhiteningWe fabricate special “trays” custom fit to your teeth with a safe type of bleach in order to make discolored teeth whiter. In certain situations, there are procedures in order to whiten just the one tooth which can be discussed.
-
Mild SedationThis involves prescription medication taken before your dental appointment in order to help you relax and reduce anxiety. They are safe and administered by a pharmacist
-
Athletic MouthwearA custom mouthguard can be fabricated to protect your teeth while playing sports.
-
Oral Cancer ScreeningThis is a very important part of dentistry in which a comprehensive head and neck exam is completed, checking common oral cancer zones and feeling for any lumps and bumps. If there are any concerns, an immediate referral is sent to a specialist to make sure everything is okay.
