Dental Veneers

Veneers are very thin pieces of custom-shaped porcelain or plastic that are glued over the front of your teeth. Unlike crowns, veneers won't require the dentist to remove much of the tooth in most cases. Strong and very durable, veneers last from ten to fifteen years, and come in colors that will brighten dark teeth without the worry of them changing color. Veneers also can change the shape and eliminate unwanted spaces between teeth without the need for braces.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial titanium fixtures that are placed surgically into the jawbone to substitute for missing teeth and their roots. They provide distinct advantages over traditional solutions to missing teeth. While dentures require constant attention and maintenance, dental implants bond with your living tissue and support your everyday activities firmly and safely. And with decades of proven reliability, dental implants can help you comfortably return to a life of anxiety-free eating, talking, chewing, and living

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that removes stains,
discoloration, and lightens the pigmentation within the teeth. There are numerous ways to whiten your teeth. For the various methods please call our office

1-Hour Bleaching

Our new bleaching procedures can be done in just one appointment. Deep in the tooth, discolorations and stains can be dramatically lightened or completely removed in just 1 hour. With this safe procedure, the color of your teeth can be lifted several shades to give you a beautiful, white smile. See some examples HERE.

Crowns

Crowns come in three varieties: gold, ceramic. or metal fused to ceramic. The gold and metal-ceramic varieties are extremely durable and are primarily used in molars. All ceramic crowns are used for front teeth since they best resemble the natural color of teeth.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is essentially a permanent false tooth that is fused between two porcelain crowns. The two crowns hold the dental bridge in place and are attached to your teeth on each side. Dental bridges are recommended when we feel that your teeth could potentially drift out of position due to a missing tooth. Additionally, spaces from missing teeth can cause you to become far more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease.

Dentures

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth typically made out of an acrylic resin that at times incorporate porcelain or metal for additional structural support. There are two main types of dentures. Both Complete Dentures and Partial Dentures are finely crafted, custom-fitted. If you properly maintain your dentures they will appear natural and provide a perfect smile. Additionally, dentures help strengthen muscles controlling your expressions that require the support of your teeth, rid you of pronunciation problems caused by missing teeth and aid with chewing.

Extraction

Tooth extraction is the procedure of gently removing a tooth from its socket in the upper or lower jaw. Most tooth extraction procedures go very well, take less than an hour and are done in our office. Our dental practice will see emergency patients who need a tooth extraction.

Mouth guards

A mouth guard is a flexible appliance made out of plastic that is worn in athletic and recreational activities to protect teeth from trauma. A Mouth guard can prevent serious injuries such as concussions, cerebral hemorrhages, incidents of unconsciousness, jaw fractures and neck injuries by helping to avoid situations where the lower jaw gets jammed into the upper jaw.

Periodontal Scaling

Periodontal Scaling a conservative cleaning procedure meant to remove contamination and infection from beneath the gum.

Preventive Care

With proper preventive care, such as regular check-ups, brushing, flossing, fluoridation, and dental sealants, the risk of dental disease can greatly be reduced.

Prophylaxis (Cleanings)

Dental Cleanings are often referred to as
prophylaxis. The most important reason for regular dental cleanings is the
prevention of dental disease.
A dental cleaning includes:

a.. An oral hygiene evaluation
b.. Home care review
c.. Dentist recommendations
d.. Instructions on how to brush and floss correctly
e.. Scaling (the removing of plaque and tartar from visible tooth
surfaces)
f.. Removal of tartar beneath the gum
g.. Periodontal charting and scheduling of additional appointments as
necessary

Root Canals

A Root Canal is required when the tiny canals within your tooth become infected. This can occur due to cavities or trauma. The root canal procedure consists of cleaning and filling the canals and then giving the tooth either a filling or a crown.

Sealants

Dental sealants play an important role in helping to prevent some forms of tooth decay. The placement of dental sealants involves your dentist bonding a plastic coating into the grooves of your tooth. The net result is a smoother tooth surface, one that is less likely to trap food and plaque, as well as one that is easier to effectively clean with a toothbrush.

Tooth Bonding

Bonding is a composite resin filling placed in the back teeth as well as the front teeth. Composites are the solution for restoring decayed teeth, making cosmetic improvements and even changing the color of your teeth or the reshaping of teeth. Bonding will lighten any stains you may have, close up minor gaps and can be used to correct crooked teeth.

Tooth Contouring and Reshaping

Dental reshaping and contouring is a procedure to correct crooked teeth, chipped teeth, cracked teeth or even overlapping teeth in just one session. This procedure is even a substitute for braces under certain circumstances. This is also a procedure of subtle changes. A few millimeters of reduction and a few millimeters of tooth-colored can create a beautiful smile when performed by a cosmetic dentist, with no discomfort to you. Tooth reshaping, or dental contouring, is commonly used to alter the length, shape or position of your teeth.

Ultrasonic Cleaning

The new technology uses a wand that produces a soft vibration. This vibration that produces the ultra clean teeth is very low and kept cool by a equally gentle water spray. The water spray is kept light and is easily controlled by suction devices.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom tooth extraction surgery involves removing the gum tissue that presides over the tooth, gently detaching the connective tissue between the tooth and the bone, removing the tooth, and suturing the opening in the gum line.

White Fillings

We recommend composite resin dental fillings as an alternative to traditional metal (amalgam) dental fillings because of their strength, durability, and because they make for a very natural looking smile. In addition, most dental insurance plans cover their use.
