Cosmetic Dentistry
Teeth Whitening
There are several types of whitening procedures. Learn about the different types of procedures, which types(s) is/are best for you and what the costs are by calling and scheduling your appointment today!
Porcelain Veneers
This procedure is geatured on T.V. shows such as "Extreme Makeover" and "The Swan." Porcelain veneers are the best way to hide/correct mal-alligned teeth, teeth that are not ideal in natural shape, and teeth that are too yellow, dark, or grey to correct by whitening procedures. Veneers are permanently cemented in place, and look and feel like your natural teeth so you would not even notice they are there! Start your makeover by calling and scheduling your appointment today!
Composite (Tooth-Colored) Fillings
Replace all your unsightly, large silver/mercury fillings which are actually bonded to your teeth and do not cause cracks and fractures as silver/mercury fillings often do. Call and schedule your appointment today to learn more!
Dental Implants
Dental implants have quickly become the "standard of care" in restoring missing teeth. Learn about the different types, costs, and indications for this treatment by scheduling your appointment today!
Dental Bridges
Bridges are a very time and cost-efficient way to effectively restore spaces where teeth are missing. Bridges have porcelain on them so that they look natural, and are permanently cemented on your teeth so that they do not come out (unlike partial and complete dentures.) To learn more about bridges, call and schedule your appointment today!
Tooth Contouring and Reshaping
A great deal for your smile can be accomplished through small changes. Learn about the procedures involved, costs and when contouring is the way to a perfect smile.
Partial and Complete Dentures
Dentures often solve a host of dental problems. Learn about the procedures involved, costs and when dentures are your way to a fantastic smile.
Dental Crowns/Caps
A great deal can be accomplished for your smile through the use of crowns. Like veneers, crowns are indicated when trying to restore proper biting forces/locations which may shift with time and dental neglect. Crowns also provide protective services for teeth which have cracked or broken due large fillings, or teeth which may break in the future due to undue stress caused by large fillings. Call and make your appointment today to learn more!
Roots Canals
Root Canals are indicated when dental decay has permanently damaged the pulp ( nerve.) This treatment allows us to remove the infection without having to remove the tooth. Learn more about the procedure, costs, and if you are a candidate by making your appointment today!
Accelerated Orthodontics
Learn about wearing braces for only a few months compared to a few years with traditional braces.
Cosmetic Gum Surgery
A "Gummy Smile" or a "Long Tooth Smile" are corrected through gum surgery. Learn about the procedures involved, costs and when gum surgery is the way to a perfect smile.

Mercury-Free Fillings
Unsightly, potentially dangerous amalgam fillings are old news. These fillings, made of 50 percent mercury, expand when warm or hot foods are eaten; this places stress on the tooth and causes cracks. Instead of amalgam fillings, our state-of-the-art practice uses mercury-free fillings to repair teeth and correct injuries. The white fillings, made of resin, ceramic, and porcelain, are bonded to your teeth and are much more natural looking and comfortable than their metal counterparts.
Root Canal Therapy
Each of our teeth contains a long, thin strand of dental pulp - which provides the tooth with nutrients and nerves - that extends down to the tooth's root. If the pulp becomes infected or injured, the tooth's nerves die and often, without endodontic treatment, the tooth dies as well. Root canals are designed to save such damaged teeth. During the procedure (performed under anesthesia), a small opening 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, tooth-colored, or porcelain crown.
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns completely cover and protect teeth that have had extensive damage. They restore and improve the appearance of your teeth by hiding misalignments, cracks, discoloration, or other imperfections. Porcelain crowns look completely natural and offer extra support to teeth that are weak or damaged. They can also vastly improve the overall appearance of your smile and make your teeth much more durable.
Natural-looking Bridges
Indiscreet metal bridges - the type that reveal unsightly, black, telltale lines right at the gum line - are a thing of the past. We specialize in implants and porcelain bridges, which can fill in missing-tooth gaps with natural-looking artificial teeth, correct speaking and chewing problems, and increase strength when biting. Implants and bridges replace missing teeth in a manner that functions comfortably and looks completely natural. To find out if bridges are a good option for you, please contact us today
implant
The dental implant is truly the most natural solution for missing teeth...
Man has endeavored to find a more natural replacement for missing teeth. Modern materials have allowed that quest to become a reality. Today's dental implant is possible because of these materials combined with years of research and clinical trials. The dental implant is truly the most natural solution for missing teeth.
But what exactly is a dental implant? There are basically two types of implants. Those that sit on top of the jaw bone, but under the gums, and those that fit into the jawbone similar to the root of a natural tooth. Each type offers solid, non-mobile support for replacement teeth which act and feel like natural teeth. Since both types are attached to your jawbone they can provide distinct advantages over traditional methods of replacing missing teeth.
Implants restore proper chewing function and so you can enjoy foods previously too "difficult" to eat.
You feel confident that your replacement teeth wonât move or loosen.
You regain the closest thing to the look, feel and function of your natural teeth.
Throw away those gooey adhesives. Forget about unsightly partial denture clasps which place damaging pressure on remaining natural teeth.
Eliminate irritated and painful gums.
Improve your speech by eliminating or reducing the "fullness" of full or partial dentures.
Replace missing teeth with the look and feel of natural teeth without having to "cut down" healthy teeth. Dental implants help stop the progressive bone loss and shrinkage of your jawbone by "mimicking" the roots of natural teeth. Dental implants are clinically proven with a success rate in excess of 90%.
There are many implants available, each designed for a specific function. Most are made of titanium, an inert metal which has been proven to be effective at fusing with living bone, a process known as "osseointegration". The cylindrical or screw type implant, called "root form", is similar in shape to the root of a tooth with a surface area designed to promote good attachment to the bone. It is the most widely used design and generally placed where there is plentiful width and depth of jawbone. Where the jawbone is too narrow or short for immediate placement of root form implants the area may be enhanced with bone grafting to allow for their placement.
When the jawbone is too narrow and not a good candidate for bone grafting, a special narrow implant, called "plate form", can be placed into the bone. In cases of advanced bone loss, the "subperiosteal" implant, may be prescribed. It rests on top of the bone but under the gums.
The actual implant procedure involves the surgical placement of the implant or implants, a healing period (osseointegration) and implant restoration to replace the missing tooth or teeth.
