- BracesTraditional or metal braces are the most common and popular type of dental braces. This type of braces are permanently bonded to the front of a patient’s teeth. They straighten teeth using metal archwires and brackets. Today’s metal braces are more comfortable, lighter, and more attractive than metal braces used in the past.
- Dental ImplantsWe provide a number of surgical procedures to help relieve pain, treat trauma or an infection, and restore your dental health. These range from dental implant restorations, tooth extractions, and emergency dental care.
- BridgesIf you have lost teeth due to decay, gum disease, or injury, a dental bridge can be utilized. If you leave a missing tooth unfixed, it can create larger problems for you and your dental health. Not only can it cause your teeth to shift and an unsightly smile, it can also result in pain and discomfort. A dental bridge closes the gap in your mouth and looks and acts like your natural teeth. To help maintain the positioning of the remaining teeth, a bridge is permanently cemented in your mouth.

- FillingsAfter a cavity is removed, a dental filling helps prevent future decay by saving natural tooth structure. A tooth-colored or composite filling provides a more conservative restoration option than silver/amalgam fillings. Composite fillings are virtually undetectable, as we carefully match the composite materials to your natural tooth color. This type of filling can also improve the strength and stability of your tooth, as well as protecting against broken teeth.
- CrownsA dental crown may be necessary if your tooth is in an advanced stage of tooth decay or cannot be fixed with bonding material. This type of restoration helps to restore aesthetics, strength, and function to the affected tooth. The material used for your crown depends on what area of your mouth is being restored.
- Root Canal TreatmentYes they are. They are used to help restore a tooth that has experienced decay, fracture or trauma, and they can be used after a root canal. Usually, the term “cap” is used if the restoration is tooth-colored, whereas a crown is gold or silver.
- DenturesDentures provide a great restoration option for patients missing most or all of their teeth. For patients retaining some of their natural teeth, partial dentures may be recommended. Both partials and full dentures are designed to fit snugly and comfortably into your mouth. Dentures not only improve the appearance of your smile, they restore your ability to eat, speak, and help to prevent facial sagging. Our team and doctor will work with you to determine which restoration option best fits your dental health needs.
- OverdenturesDental implants provide a permanent, strong replacement option for missing teeth. A dental implant consists of metal frames or posts which are surgically placed into the bone beneath the gums. The posts then fuse with the jawbone and provide stable support for dentures or restorations. In order to be a candidate for this procedure, you must have sufficient jawbone structure. In addition to individual implant restorations, we provide implant overdenture services.
- Teeth WhiteningA number of factors can cause tooth discoloration. These include smoking, coffee, tea, and other causes. Teeth whitening treatments help this discoloration to slowly disappear. We offer a range of whitening options and will work with you to determine which treatment will provide you with the beautiful, bright smile you deserve. To see if you are a candidate for teeth whitening, please schedule a consultation today!
