Dental Exams, X-rays & Cleanings: It is important to see your dentist on a regular basis (at least twice a year) for cleanings and exams. This periodic visit involves x-rays, exams by both the dentist and hygienist and then, if your gums are healthy, a basic cleaning (the removal of tartar and plaque and polishing of the teeth).

Treatment and Maintenance of Periodontal Disease: If the dentist and hygienist feel the gums are unhealthy (the start of or progression of periodontal disease), the hygienist will treat the gums with two cleanings or scaling and root planning.  Periodic visits to the hygienist will help in the maintenance of healthy gums once you have started treatment for periodontal disease.

Fillings: If a tooth is decayed, chipped, or fractured it can be fixed with a filling. The dentist will clean out the decay and fill the tooth with a material called composite. Because this material is white in color it looks like the tooth. Fillings can be used for restorative or cosmetic reasons.

Root Canal Therapy: A root canal is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. The process involves removing all of the decay and treating the infection, and then filling the tooth with medicated dental materials.

Crowns: If a tooth is not strong enough or cannot be remedied with just a filling a crown is used to protect the tooth. A crown covers the entire tooth and is shaped like a tooth. The white porcelain material used to make the crown gives the appearance of your natural tooth.

Veneers: Veneers are thin, durable pieces of custom made porcelain that are bonded to the front teeth to enhance their appearance.

Fixed Bridges: A bridge is one or more replacement teeth anchored by one or more crowns on each side.  This bridge is permanently in place and is made with the same white porcelain used in regular crowns, giving the appearance of your natural teeth.

Inlays and Onlays: Inlays and onlays are custom made fillings that are made by a dental lab and then cemented onto your teeth.

Partial Dentures or Dentures: This is a removable appliance used to replace missing teeth in your mouth. A partial denture is used to replace some teeth in your mouth, whereas a traditional complete denture replaces all the teeth in your mouth.

Implants: Dental implants are a permanent solution to replacing missing teeth. An artificial root made of titanium is surgically placed in the bone of the jaw. An implant crown, made of porcelain, is placed on this root to create the appearance of your natural tooth.

Teeth Whitening: Our take home teeth whitening kits consists of custom made plastic trays and whitening solution. After using this solution on a daily basis for a week or two you should see a whiter, brighter smile.
