At our office, we dedicate ourselves to providing patients with the most advanced dental care available today. Our team of skilled and compassionate professionals work hard to keep patients comfortable and informed by diagnosing and explaining all manner of treatments thoroughly.
Please refer to the explanations below of treatments we provide.
- Bridges
Bridges - fixed teeth spanning a space where one or more teeth have been lost. The teeth adjacent to the area of missing teeth will be prepared for crowns in order to support the bridge.
- Bonding
Bonding - restores teeth that are discolored, chipped, cracked, misaligned or decayed, with tooth-colored materials.
- Cleanings
Cleanings - removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth. This is done by a registered dental hygienist.
- Crowns
Crowns - made from a variety of materials that strengthen and protect a tooth that has lost support from decay, infection or fracture.
- Digital x-rays
Digital x-rays - We offer low-dose x-rays which allow for the minimum amount of radiation while still producing digital-quality images.
- Dentures (full and partial)
Dentures, full and partial - removable appliances that replace missing teeth.
- Extractions
Extractions - the process of removing an entire tooth or teeth.
- Fillings
Fillings - made of amalgam (silver) or tooth-colored composites and are used to restore teeth that have been damaged by fracture or decay.
- Gum disease (periodontal disease)
Gum disease (periodontal disease) - caused by bacteria that is prevalent in plaque and tartar. Plaque is a sometimes colorless film that can harden to form tartar and become very difficult to remove.
- Implants
Implants - replaces a permanently missing tooth or teeth. They are made of titanium and are surgically placed into the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the bone. A crown is then screwed to the implant.
- Invisalign
Invisalign - a method of straightening or closing spaces between teeth by using clear, custom-made trays that are removable and changed every two weeks.
- Laser periodontal therapy
Laser periodontal therapy - a method of reducing pockets around teeth caused by the bacteria of periodontal disease.
- Root canal
Root canal - performed whenever a tooth's pulp (nerve and blood supply) becomes infected or inflamed. The chamber that holds the pulp is cleaned and sealed and then the tooth is restored and returned to function without pain.
- Veneers/laminates
Veneers/laminates - custom-made porcelain shells applied to the front of teeth to close spaces, change color or align the teeth. The teeth do need to be prepared and an intimate mold must be taken for laboratory preparation.
- Whitening
Whitening - cosmetic procedure to lighten teeth, chair side and/or take home.
