Crowns: are used to protect the tooth and improve its shape and color. Crowns are most often used for teeth that are broken, have large fillings or have portions destroyed by tooth decay. In effect, the crown is cemented on and becomes your tooth’s new outer surface.
Bridges: are replacements for missing teeth. They help restore your smile, help maintain the shape of your face and alleviate the stress of your bite. A bridge literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. It is generally made from gold with a covering of porcelain and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for support.
Veneers: consist of a covering layer of porcelain, which is custom sculptured by specialized lab technicians to our very detailed plans. Veneers provide improved shape and color for your teeth. Their color is designed to enhance the natural beauty of your smile. They can be used to correct imperfections such as worn and discolored teeth, mild crowding, and gaps-which are why they are often referred to as instant orthodontics.
Tooth colored fillings: Your fillings no longer have to be made of silver and mercury. We use composite resin, a tooth colored material that comes in a wide variety of shades, to enable us to match the teeth we are restoring to their natural beauty and function. No more unsightly black filling and gray discolored teeth. The composite resin material we use is not only beautiful but strong as well.
Dental Implants: A missing tooth can have a negative effect on your appearance and function. The most effective way to replace a missing tooth is with a dental implant. A dental implant, made of titanium, replaces the root of your missing tooth. After the dental implant is firmly anchored in place to the bone, a new crown is made to fit it. The restoration looks and feels almost as natural as your own tooth. Dental implants may also be used to anchor dentures, so that you can eat and smile with confidence.
Tooth Whitening: Everybody loves a bright white smile, and there are a variety of products and procedures available to help you improve the look of yours. If you are interested in making your smile look brighter, you should investigate all your options, or talk to your hygienist.
