Crowns

Crowns are used by dentists to hide misshapen, misaligned, cracked, or discolored teeth. A crown is a permanent covering that fits over the original tooth. It can be made of porcelain, gold and other metals, acrylic resin, or an amalgam (a mix) of these materials. One of the advantages of crowns is they offer extra support to teeth that are weak or damaged and they can decrease physical discomfort in teeth. They can also improve the look of your smile while making your teeth much more durable. To find out more about crowns, please contact our office today.

Bridges

Spaces in the mouth, which are the result of missing teeth, can often cause multiple teeth to shift, leading to occlusion (biting) and/or jaw problems and periodontal disease. A bridge is used to fill the space where a tooth has fallen out or been removed. Bridges will ensure that remaining teeth stay healthy. To learn more, contact our office today.

Onlays/Inlays

Cavities and decay are unfortunate but not uncommon. Luckily, inlays and onlays are effective solutions that can stop cavity pain and restore good health and chewing strength to back teeth. Inlays are carefully designed fillings that fit precisely into the back teeth. Ceramic inlays are available that look entirely natural, so no one will ever suspect that you have had a filling. In turn, Onlays can be used when decay is too extensive for an inlay. Onlays cover the entire surface of a damaged back tooth, providing protection and strength. Like inlays, onlays can be made of realistic-looking ceramic. Contact us to find out more about onlays and inlays.

Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal Therapy is a treatment performed to remove damaged tissue from inside the root canals of a tooth. The procedure is not for cosmetics, but rather for your health. The infection will only get worse with time if left untreated. Root canals have drastically improved, and most people report that having endodontic treatment is no worse than getting a filling. If you are interested in finding out how this procedure can benefit you, please contact us today.

Periodontic Maintenance

Unfortunately, periodontal (gum) disease can lead to more than just an unsightly smile—it can cause loss of teeth and eventually, if left untreated, serious health problems. Called gingivitis in its early stages, periodontal disease is caused by excessive toxic bacteria (found in plaque) that attack your mouth’s soft tissues. Early warning signs of the disease include red, swollen, bleeding gums. If caught early, we can help you reverse the damage or if detected late, we can use one of many effective cosmetic dentistry procedures to restore your mouth to a healthy, beautiful state. For more information, please contact our office today.

Dentures

Dentures are an excellent option for people who have lost all their teeth. Precisely designed and molded to fit one’s mouth, full dentures slide over the gums and are held in place with strong cheek and mouth muscles. They allow for comfortable chewing and keep the mouth and its surrounding features in proper alignment. To learn more about full dentures, please contact us today.

Partials

Removable or partial dentures fill gaps left by missing teeth. Partial dentures are held in place with metal clasps or precision devices (tooth-colored, discreet clasps) that are attached to natural teeth. Usually made of resin or metal, partial dentures allow more comfortable and effective chewing, improve speech, and prevent sagging of the cheeks and lips. To find out if partial dentures are right for you, please contact our practice today.
