- Dental SealantsA sealant is a clear protective coating for teeth. It is painted on the chewing surface of the back teeth where most cavities form here. Back teeth (pre-molars and molars) have grooves and crevices where food can get stuck in and cause cavities. Sealants are painless to apply and can last up to 15 years.
- FillingsTraditionally silver or amalgam filling has been the filling of choice, not anymore. Today modern materials and techniques allow the dentist to place tooth colored filling material which are bonded to the tooth, making them cosmetically much more attractive and beautiful and durable.

- VeneersPorcelain veneers or lumineers. Veneers unlike a crown which covers the tooth are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front of a tooth. Porcelain veneers can be used to conceal imperfections such as damage, discolored or broken teeth. With veneers you can fix chipped teeth, close caps between teeth and even straighten the appearance of cracked teeth to create an attractive even smile.
- CrownsPorcelain crowns or "caps" are fabricated in our laboratory requiring two appointments. They are shaped like a tooth and cover a tooth that is badly damaged or decayed. The doctor and frequently the laboratory technician will select the size, shape, and color to match the appearance of your teeth.
