- VeneersVeneers - Veneering of teeth is a process in which a thin, custom made porcelain facing is bonded to the front of your teeth. The veneering process can change the color or shape of your teeth. Veneers are individualized and are made in a dental laboratory using strong dental porcelains such as lithium disilicate or leucite porcelain for a life-like look that can last for many, many years.
- CrownsCEREC stands for Computer Engineered Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic. It is a computer-based system that allows us to provide high-quality precise fitting crowns and onlays in one appointment. It uses 3-dimensional design software and a computer numeric controlled (CNC) lathe to machine blocks of porcelain into perfect fitting restorations. To you, this means no need for a temporary crown, lousy tasting impression goop, no return appointments and only having your mouth numb with anesthetic one time. It is truly a life-changing innovation that makes dentistry faster, easier and better.

- Root Canal TreatmentBefore root canal therapy was developed and gained acceptance, the only alternative for a diseased tooth was extraction. Root Canal therapy has become a remarkably predictable and successful way of treating a diseased or painful tooth, halting the spread of infection and restoring the healthy portion of the tooth. Root canal therapy has drastically improved over the years and is now a tried and true way of saving badly broken-down teeth.
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesBefore development of dental implants, dentures were the only alternative to replacing a missing tooth or teeth. Implants are like replacement tooth roots. They are made of pure, surgical grade titanium and are placed into the area of the mouth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures. Implants can be used to restore all of the upper or lower teeth, sections of teeth, or even a single tooth.
- Dental ImplantsMany times, the entire implant restorative process can be done in our office, without the need to go to other offices for parts of the process. Advanced or complicated situations may require the involvement of a specialist. If a specialist is required, we will guide you through the process.
