A crown will be prescribed when a tooth is badly decayed, broken or fractured. A crown is often needed when a tooth has been treated with a root canal. Crowns ensure that biting forces are evenly distributed around to prevent further fracture of the tooth. Your new crown can be made from gold, porcelain fused to high noble metal or high-strength ceramic material. A specific material may be recommended for your specific needs to offer long lasting results.

Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth and rely on remaining bone and soft tissue for retention. Partial dentures are used when some upper or lower teeth remain and these remaining teeth are used for retention. We encourage regular checkups to maintain oral health and the fit of your appliance.

X-rays provide critical information that can not be obtained through clinical evaluation alone. This includes cavities between teeth, infections and both soft tissue and hard tissue pathology. Routine x-rays are extremely important to comprehensive dental care.

When a tooth has decay or fractures, those areas of the tooth are removed and dental fillings are put in their place to restore the tooth and prolong use for years to come. There are many options for materials and a recommendation will be made with consideration for esthetics as well as function.

Routine dental cleanings are the key to a healthy mouth and beautiful smile. Recommendations on frequency of hygiene visits are based on your specific needs with regards to your oral health. We strive to help you achieve excellent home care with preventative measures that include herbal and baking soda products. These things are sometimes used in conjunction with other prescribed products when needed.

Implants are the optimal treatment choice for replacing a missing tooth when the adjacent teeth are healthy. Implants can range from a single tooth to a full mouth rehabilitation. We work with a wonderful team of oral surgeons to coordinate appointments and ensure an optimal outcome. Once you have completed your treatment with the oral surgeon, you will return to our office to fabricate your new crown. If the implant is being placed in the smile line, we will fabricate a temporary tooth for the duration of the process so that you can feel confident and to help ensure beautiful cosmetic results.

Misaligned teeth can lead to a number of problems including gum recession and fractured teeth. Malocclusion has also shown to cause problems with airway and can even lead to sleep apnea. We are an Invisalign provider and utilize scans of your mouth that can demonstrate what the final outcome can accomplish.

Veneers are a conservative treatment utilizing either ceramic or resin composite materials to change the appearance of otherwise healthy teeth. With new technology, a comprehensive plan can be made to achieve your desired esthetic outcome. This includes an evaluation by a 3D mouth scanner as well as a computer generated model of what your mouth could look like.
