Dental Cleaning - Regular dental cleanings are important not only for looks but also for good oral hygiene. Dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar deposits that have built up on teeth over time. Dental cleanings will leave your teeth feeling smooth and clean. We recommend dental cleaning every six months.

 

Fillings or Bondings - Composite resin fillings are aesthetic, long-lasting restorations that are tooth-colored and will improve the appearance of your smile instantly. Resin fillings are invisible and look as beautiful and natural as your teeth. Today composite fillings are placed on both the front and back teeth.

 

 

Tooth Replacement - It is important to replace missing or broken teeth in a timely fashion to prevent severe results such as:

 

• Problems with chewing and general health.
• The appearance of the front teeth and the smile can deteriorate.
• Teeth next to the space of missing tooth can tilt toward that space.
• Teeth in the opposite jaw, over the space, can grow longer because there is no opposite tooth to bite against, and keep it in place.
• Front teeth can be forced forward if the bite gets affected.

 

The methods of replacing teeth are determined by the size of the gap and the teeth around it. Treatments include partial dentures, implants, bridges, and dental flippers.

If you have broken or missing teeth, you may  need to contact your dentist right away. Your dentist will decide on the level of damage and will advise you of the best treatment.

Tooth Extractions- Tooth extractions may be required in case of extensive decay where repair is not practical. Tooth extractions may be necessary for emergency treatment of pain and overall better health.

Root Canal Therapy- Root canal therapy is often necessary to prevent the need for tooth extractions. Root canal or endodontic therapy is a technique used to remove the nerve inside the tooth and replace it with a solid filling material. This technique prevents pain and infections.

Veneers- Veneers will give the appearance and function of a perfect smile. Veneers are a good way to cover up dental imperfections such as chips, stains and gaps. Porcelain veneers are thin laminates that are bonded to your teeth to insure a more beautiful and natural looking smile.

Lumineers- Lumineers are a new and improved type of veneers made out of unique porcelain called Cerinate. This brand of veneers can be made as thin as a contact lens; therefore, there is no need for the painful removal of sensitive tooth structure. In just a few visits you will receive the gleaming bright smile you have always wanted.

Invisalign- Invisalign is the invisible modern way to straighten your teeth without braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to ensure comfort and removability. You will start noticing the effect on your smile even before the treatment is over.

Full Dentures- Dentures are a way to preserve your dental health. For those without teeth, dentures will restore the look and the function of your teeth.

 

Crowns and Bridges

Bridges- A bridge is a structure that spans the gap between two teeth. The dentist makes a replacement crown for the teeth on either side and joins them with an artificial tooth placed between them.

 

Crowns- Crowns are synthetic caps made of porcelain. Crowns are used for covering a tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength.

Teeth Whitening- Statistics reveal that Americans place a high value to their smile and when asked, “What would you most like to change about your smile?” the most common response is: “Whiter and brighter teeth.”

If you are not happy with your smile, teeth whitening may provide the right solution. Typical lifestyle choices such as drinking coffee, tea, cola, red wine or smoking can contribute to staining your teeth. New whitening technologies can remove the stains without harming your teeth.

Consider: In home teeth whitening or in-office teeth whitening.
