Get Your Best Smile!

General Dentistry
All of our fillings are metal-free & tooth-colored. At one time, silver mercury fillings, or amalgams, were the only choice of filling material. Now, there is something so much better! Over time, silver fillings leak bacteria underneath them which form recurrent decay which in turn discolors teeth & turns them black. Silver fillings also expand and contract microscopically over time which can weaken and break teeth, potentially creating a much more costly situation. Metal-free fillings actually bond to the remaining tooth structure which pulls the tooth back together & reinforces the strength of both the restoration and the tooth! They do not contain mercury, they are stronger, and they look great!

Crowns and Bridges
When a tooth is heavily decayed it is more likely to fracture and lose considerable tooth substance. The greater risk is that a fracture line may go below the margin of the gum which makes restoration more difficult or near impossible. Crowns may be made from several different materials, gold and porcelain being the most common types.

A bridge allows the dentist to replace lost teeth without the use of a denture or dental implant. Basically a false tooth is held in place by being attached to a tooth next door. The disadvantage is that the teeth next to the space have to be prepared in a similar way to a crown in order to accept the bridge. If these teeth already have crowns or big restorations then this is not a problem, the major concern however is when these teeth have small or no restorations (fillings). One compromise is the 'acid etched bridge', with this type a fine ledge is placed on the back of the adjacent teeth.

Dental implants
Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.

Teeth Whitening - Teeth Bleaching
Did you know that teeth whitening are the number one (1) requested cosmetic service today?
One of the first things people notice when they meet someone new is their smile. Teeth Whitening has become an accessible and relatively easy way to instantly improve appearance, create a positive first impression, and achieve a more youthful and radiant appearance. Teeth can become discolored over a period of time. Teeth whitening are not a medical procedure, it does not result in healthier teeth, but it can result in whiter teeth.

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain dental veneers are a beautiful way to correct stained, chipped, or crooked teeth. By placing glass-like ceramic porcelain on the surface of teeth, dentists can provide patients with bright, straight, and natural looking smiles.

Gum Treatment
Gum disease affects the tissues that surround and support your teeth. The cause is bacteria, which can turn into tartar and plaque buildup, irritate your gums and lead to bleeding and receding gums. Left unchecked, gingivitis can lead to a more serious form of gum disease called periodontitis. This long-term infection can eventually cause loss of your teeth.

Invisalign
Invisalign is a new revolutionary method to straighten teeth without metal. A series of clear, removable dental appliances are used to gradually straighten teeth, without metal or wires and it's nearly invisible. You can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing. An Invisalign patient can eat and drink anything while being treated along with being able to brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene. This isn't possible while wearing traditional braces. It's comfortable. There are no metal brackets or wires to cause mouth irritation. No metal or wires also means you spend less time in the dentist's chair getting adjustments and in some cases a patient only needs to see the dentist half as often as with regular braces.
