Bridges

Bridges step up when a tooth goes missing. Why does it matter? Without them, nearby teeth can shift, messing up your bite. A bridge fixes that. Two crowns anchor to the neighboring teeth, with a false tooth in between. This setup stops your remaining teeth from moving, keeping your bite and face shape intact. Plus, bridges bring back normal chewing and speech abilities.

Dental bridges can also be supported by a dental implant.

Composite Bonding

Composite bonding is a technique of placing a composite material directly on teeth to correct any issues or to improve their appearance. This procedure can be used to repair broken, chipped, or cracked teeth, close gaps, or cover stained teeth.

Composite bonding is very durable and can be matched to your natural tooth color for a beautiful smile. It does not require the removal of healthy structure, so we are able to enhance the look of the tooth without compromising its natural strength and integrity.

Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns are used to cover a tooth that is too weak from decay to accept a filling or that has a large break or crack. A crown restores a tooth to its normal shape and size while protecting and strengthening it. This helps protect the weak tooth from breakage, which could lead to the loss of the tooth.

Crowns are also used to support dental bridges or dental implants. Porcelain crowns can restore stained or misshapen teeth for a wonderful smile.

Veneers

Dental veneers are thin, shell-like porcelain or composite material covers placed over the front surface of the teeth. Dental veneers are used to correct a variety of dental issues, such as stained, uneven, broken, or chipped teeth. They are also used to close large gaps between teeth for a flawless smile.

Veneers do not require the removal of healthy tooth structure, so it is a very minimally invasive procedure with maximum results. Due to porcelain veneers translucent qualities, we can match them to your teeth for an extremely natural look.

Fillings

Composite fillings, or natural tooth-colored fillings, provide a contemporary substitute for conventional amalgam fillings. The advantages of opting for composite fillings include a minimally invasive procedure that targets only the decayed portion of the tooth, preserving the unaffected tooth structure. Through a meticulous bonding process, the composite filling becomes an integral part of the tooth’s surface, effectively restoring its inherent strength. The beauty of composite fillings lies in their ability to be matched to the exact shade of your natural teeth, ensuring a flawlessly unified smile. Noteworthy is the observation by certain patients that the placement of composite fillings, in contrast to amalgam fillings, can lead to reduced sensitivity to temperature changes, enhancing overall dental comfort.

Teeth Whitening

If your smile has become dull or stained and you’re interested in teeth whitening, we offer Professional Supreme, Kör Deep Whitening, or Crest WhiteStrips. We have chosen these whitening systems because we have seen less sensitivity by our patients with excellent results.

Our in-office whitening will have your teeth visibly whiter in one office visit. With the take-home whitening program, you will notice white teeth in ten to fourteen days.

Botox

While Botox is primarily known as a cosmetic treatment for wrinkles and lines on the face, it also has beneficial uses in dentistry. Botox can be used to treat dental conditions, such as high lip lines, TMJ, bruxism, dentures no longer fitting due to shifting jaw muscles, and more.
