Crown and Bridge

Are you suffering from missing teeth, or becoming frustrated because you’re having trouble chewing, speaking or even biting foods? If so, a bridge may be right for you. Bridges fill in the gaps between your natural teeth with natural-looking artificial teeth. Semi-permanent and comfortable, Our doctors can fit you for a bridge that will help improve the appearance of your smile while at the same time offering strength and support to your natural teeth. Crowns, or dental caps, are used for both restorative and cosmetic dentistry. Crowns can help enhance the visual appearance of discolored, chipped or otherwise traumatized teeth, and can also be used to rebuild teeth that have suffered decay, breaks, or other issues that have caused them to lose strength. Cemented onto your natural tooth, a crown effectively serves as your tooth’s new surface because it completely covers your natural tooth

Teeth Whitening

Many of us feel that our smiles are most striking when our teeth look especially white, but unfortunately, soft drinks, coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco can leave behind ugly stains. To help you restore your gleaming, bright white smile and to give you an added boost of confidence, we offer many options, such as custom whitening kits. Please contact us today to find out more about these options and which one is best for you

Root Canal Therapy

Dental pulp, found in the center of each tooth, contains a nerve which extends from the tooth’s root to bring vital nutrients to the tooth. If a tooth’s pulp is injured, damaged, or infected, the nerve within the pulp will die and, unless endodontic treatment (root canal) is performed, the tooth may die as well. In many cases, root canal therapy (removal of the nerve tissue in the tooth) can save damaged teeth by preserving the tooth in the mouth. After the root canal is successfully completed, restoring the tooth with a crown is usually highly recommended to preserve the tooth structure and provide strength for chewing. During the procedure, a gap is drilled into the tooth’s crown and pulp chamber, diseased pulp is reshaped or removed, and the tooth is permanently sealed with a gold, porcelain, or tooth-colored inlay/onlay or crown.

Hygiene Services

A healthy mouth and beautiful smile require routine general and preventative care to stay that way. Our practice offers general care that includes regular oral examinations and cleanings. Our preventative hygiene services include fluoride, professional breath control, and periodontal (gum disease) treatments designed to help you maintain your smile’s health and beauty. Keep your teeth and gums strong and disease-free. You can also help to keep your mouth in tip-top condition by: brushing your tongue and teeth at least twice a day using a soft-bristle toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste flossing everyday using a fluoride or antimicrobial mouthrinse to prevent cavities and gum disease Poor oral health can cause pain, infections and tooth loss affecting the way a person speaks, acts and socializes. Regular examinations and thorough oral care can prevent these risks and maintain a healthy mouth.

Direct Filling

Restorative procedures restore the optimum form and function of teeth structurally damaged by untreated dental decay, excessive wear and trauma.Restorations fall into two categories of Amalgam and tooth-colored Composite. In the past, tooth problems like cavities or other trauma only had one viable treatment option: metal or amalgam fillings. Advances in the science of dentistry have led to the development of resin composite that, when bonded to your tooth, provide a durable filling with a much more natural appearance. Composite restorations can typically be applied within a single appointment, and offer a viable alternative to metal fillings in many cases. However metal fillings are still used in certain special cases that are not suitable for composite fillings.

Porcelain Veneers

An excellent alternative to crowns, porcelain veneers can perfect your smile by masking stains, hiding chips, correcting misalignment, and creating uniformity. Veneers, which are made of thin, customized material, are designed to slide over the teeth, look incredibly natural, are long-lasting, and are relatively easy to apply. A conservative procedure usually requiring minimal anesthesia, veneers are an excellent option to improve the appearance of front teeth. These extremely thin shells of either composite resin filling material, or the more durable ceramic (porcelain), are bonded to the teeth.

Implants

Our dentists perform dental implant restoration by attaching artificial teeth to implants anchored in the bone below the gum line. After the anchor has been surgically placed in the jawbone, excess bone and gum grow around the implant, holding it firmly in place. Dental implants are securely anchored to your jaw and look and feel more like your real teeth, with the added durability of being resistant to decay and comfortable with which to chew The dental implant itself is made of Titanium, a very strong, corrosion-resistant, natural element that is perfectly biocompatible with bone. It therefore makes an ideal root replacement (anchor) for your missing tooth. The implant is placed within the upper and/or lower jaw to act as a direct or indirect anchor for the replacement teeth

Mouth Wear

Sports Injuries : It is highly important that children or adults involved in sports wear a mouthguard . A high-quality, custom-made mouthguard is a small protective device that fits over your teeth and absorbs the force of an impact, helping to protect the mouth from damage. It is fabricated from a model of your teeth for a perfect fit. A mouthguard could save you the inconvenience and potentially much higher cost of restoring or replacing teeth. Bruxism : Bruxism is clenching or grinding your teeth, often without being aware that your are doing it. Some people grind their teeth only during sleep, while others grind their teeth during the daytime as well, most often during situations that make them feel tense or anxious.People with severe bruxism can fracture dental fillings or cause other types of tooth damage. In both children and adults, tooth damage related to bruxism can be prevented by wearing a protective Nightguard , similar to sports Mouthguard. It is custom-made to fit your teeth and protects them from grinding against the opposing teeth.

On-site Digital Lab

The revolutionary CEREC® technology uses digital imaging to enable percise computer-assisted design and creation of dental products , including veneers, inlays and onlays, crowns and bridges or implant-supported restorations. Digitally created restorations can use a comprehensive range of materials tailored specifically for optimum performance and high quality.

Digital X-rays

We use state-of-the-art digital X-ray(radiographs) system that enables us to take digital scan of the teeth to monitor for caries and other oral diseases not visible to the eye. Benefits of digital Xrays include: high resolution sensors acquire digital x-ray images reduce radiation exposure to patients allow for rapid acquisition time digital images that are captured can be easily magnified and viewed on large monitors for diagnosis and discussion How often dental X-rays should be taken depends on the patient`s individual health needs. It is important to recognize that just as each patient is different from the next, so should the scheduling of Xray exams be individualized for each patient. Your medical and dental history will be reviewed and your mouth examined before a decision is made to take X-rays of your teeth.

Oral Surgery

Many times when dentists talk about extractions, they’re referring to impacted wisdom teeth, which can cause discomfort, inflammation, infection, and even decay as they come into the mouth and push against other teeth. In cases like this—or in more extreme cases, where cysts develop around the wisdom teeth and jeopardize the health of the jaw bone—extraction will be the only viable option. But when it comes to teeth other than your wisdom teeth, performing a tooth extraction is something that our dentists would consider only after doing everything else possible to save the tooth, including root canal therapy. If the tooth has been traumatized, is badly decaying, or there is excessive loss of bone around the tooth due to periodontal disease and the tooth is very mobile, then the dentist may seriously consider removing the tooth to preserve the health of the teeth surrounding it, as well as your entire mouth.
