Back to top Crowns Depending on the amount of available tooth structure surrounding a cavity, a crown may need to be used. There are several reasons we may recommend a crown, but longevity, and aesthetics are the major ones we base our recommendation on. Back to top Veneers By now, you may have seen the makeover shows highlighting the amazing transformations veneers can reveal. Yes, the transformations can be amazing, but they have to be done properly and a thorough analysis of each case is necessary to determine whether or not they are the best option. We will work with you, one on one, to determine whether or not veneers are for you. Veneers are thin, custom-made, "slip covers" for your teeth. The most conservative amount of tooth structure is removed from the tooth and replaced with the custom-made veneer. It is made from a composite material that is designed to match the surrounding teeth as seemlessly as possible. Because enamel from the existing tooth has to be removed, this is an irreversible procedure, but one that can dramatically improve your smile. Ask us for more details if you have any questions about veneers. Back to top Complete dentures Complete dentures restore the ability to smile with confidence to those who have lost their natural teeth for various reasons. We will make sure you feel comfortable with the transition to dentures, assure a comfortable fit, a natural appearance and the ongoing proper care for your dentures. Back to top Partial dentures Perhaps you only need a partial denture created to restore a few missing teeth. We will work with you to make sure you have the most comfortable fit, seemless blending with surrounding teeth and you are educated in the proper care to assure the most longevity for your partial. Back to top Fillings Today, more so than ever, there are options for fillings. Whether it is advancements in ceramics or polymers, fillings are becoming more and more tailored to the patients' needs. There are several considerations to be weighed when choosing the correct restoration - such as the patient's oral health, tooth surface to be filled, and even cost. We will certainly discuss all the options available to you based on your particular situation. It is important that you know, however, that you have options and we encourage you to discuss your options with us. Back to top Bridges Bridges replace missing teeth with artifical teeth to restore the biting surface, as well as, restoring the shape of the face. They are most commonly made from gold, alloys or porcelain and then bonded to the surrounding teeth to, essentially, create a bridge. Back to top Same day emergency treatment We are here to help.

Back to top Bleaching The various bleaching products available to consumers run the gamut of effectiveness. For example, the main ingredient in most bleaching systems is Peroxide, but the concentration varies depending on whether you are using over the counter bleaching systems, or one provided by you dentist. The various levels of peroxide have been proven to be effective with certain stains, but not others. Coffee, teas, cigarette smoking, and general dental hygiene all contribute to the effectiveness of your bleaching effort. There are many things to take into consideration before you start bleaching your teeth, we can help steer you in the right direction. Back to top Cleaning Routine cleanings are essential for your dental health. It has been proven that regular cleanings, coupled with your daily brushing and flossing can dramatically reduce the amount of tooth decay. Back to top Root canals A root canal is a relatively simple procedure that is performed to save a tooth from becoming infected or ultimately lost. During the procedure, the diseased pulp of the tooth is removed, the root canal is cleaned and sealed off and a crown is placed on the tooth. Back to top Paperless charting We care about the environment too. Paperless charts are one way we are helping to reduce our carbon footprint. Aside from the environmental impact, we feel it is the wave of the future to have all of your patient information one click away. We are looking ahead to assure that your information is, and will be, as up to date and accessible as possible. Back to top Implant restorations Implants are, in some cases, an excellent alternative to use when teeth need to be replaced. Because they involve fusing with the jaw bone, they offer greater stability, provide more comfort and often times look more natural. Due to the fact that the implants need to be affixed to the bone, candidates for implants must have adequate bone structure. An analysis of the bone structure must be completed prior to knowing whether or not an implant is the best option for the patient.
