Bridges

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth definitively to adjacent teeth or dental implants. Bridges are an excellent solution for restoring your smile and maintaining proper facial shape.

Benefits of dental bridges include:

  • Restore your smile
  • Restore your ability to properly chew and speak
  • Maintain the shape of your face
  • Distribute the forces in your bite properly
  • Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position

Crowns

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and improve its appearance. When cemented into place, crowns fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

Crowns may be needed in the following situations:

  • To protect a weak tooth from breaking
  • To hold together parts of a cracked tooth
  • To restore an already broken tooth
  • To cover and support a tooth with a large filling
  • To cover a dental implant
  • To make a cosmetic modification

Dental Implants

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. If you are missing teeth, implants will allow you to regain the ability to eat virtually anything and smile with confidence.

Dental implants are changing the way people live as they allow our patients to rediscover the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life. Your new teeth will appear natural and your facial contours will be preserved.

The ideal candidate for implants is a non-smoker who has good oral health, including a sufficient amount of bone in the jaw, and healthy gums with no signs of gum disease.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings that are applied to the grooves on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to protect them from tooth decay. Most tooth decay in children and teens occurs on these surfaces.

Sealants protect the chewing surfaces from tooth decay by keeping germs and food particles out of these grooves. Applying sealants does not require drilling or removing tooth structure. The process is short and easy.

Sealants are most effective when applied to children's teeth after their permanent molars come in, but adults can benefit from sealants as well.

Dentures

Dentures are removable dental appliances that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and are designed to look like your natural teeth.

There are two main types of dentures:

  • Complete Dentures: Used when all natural teeth are missing
  • Partial Dentures: Used when some natural teeth remain

Modern dentures are natural looking and more comfortable than ever. They can help restore your smile and your ability to eat and speak properly.

Fillings / Restorations

Dental fillings are used to treat teeth that have been damaged by decay. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the area is filled with a filling material to restore the tooth's shape and function.

There are several types of filling materials available, including:

  • Composite (tooth-colored) fillings
  • Amalgam (silver) fillings
  • Gold fillings
  • Ceramic fillings

Our doctors will help you determine which type of filling is best for your specific situation based on the extent of repair, location of the filling, and cost.

Non-Surgical Root Canal

Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth, and save the natural tooth. When one undergoes a root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed.

Signs you may need root canal treatment:

  • Severe pain while chewing or biting
  • Pimples on the gums
  • A chipped or cracked tooth
  • Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Swollen or tender gums
  • Deep decay or darkening of the gums

Tooth Extractions

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. While our primary goal is always to save natural teeth, sometimes extraction is necessary for the overall health of your mouth.

Reasons for tooth extraction may include:

  • Severe tooth decay or infection
  • Periodontal (gum) disease
  • A broken tooth that cannot be repaired
  • Crowded teeth (for orthodontic treatment)
  • Impacted wisdom teeth

Our experienced doctors perform extractions with care and precision, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
