A smile can be the most eye catching feature of your face.  Advances in dental materials and techniques offer new ways to repair and restore damaged teeth and gums and cosmetically enhance the tooth structure that Mother Nature gave you.  Some of the services we offer:

Cosmetic

Cosmetic options span a wide variety of improvements to your smile.  Teeth damaged or misaligned or discolored do not have to be an embarrassment.  Ask for a free Smile Consultation appointment.

• Tooth Whitening - Bleaching brightens teeth that are discolored, stained, or darkened due to injury.  We offer dentist quality, professional strength materials that you cannot purchase over-the-counter and that are faster and more effective.
• Veneers - Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth colored materials that cover the front surface of a tooth.  Veneers are used to close gaps between teeth or cover teeth that misshapen or misaligned.
• Bonding - Bonding materials are used to repair cracks, chips and gaps with tooth colored enamel-like material.  Once applied, shaped and hardened, you will receive many years of beautiful service.

Restoration

Restoration covers a variety of techniques including crowns and dentures.

• Crowns - A crown is a metal and/or porcelain fixture that covers or caps, a tooth to restore its normal shape, size and appearance.  Your dentist will evaluate your specific need including size, shape, and matching the color of your remaining natural teeth.  The goal is for your artificial tooth to feel, look and function just like a natural tooth.
• Dentures - When a number of teeth because of injury or disease are removed or no longer functioning adequately, partial or full dentures are an option.  When you consider the impact on your physical health from not eating certain foods and the impact on your emotional health from hiding an unattractive smile, custom dentures specifically fitted to you can be a option to consider.
• Gum Disease - Gum disease is characterized by bleeding or swollen gums or gums that are pulling away from your teeth.  This is an indication of an active infection not to be ignored.  Untreated gum disease results in destruction of the bone holding your teeth in your jaw.  Recent research indicates that bacteria inflaming the gum tissue can enter the blood stream where it potentially exacerbates an inflammatory response in the arteries of your heart.  We offer many techniques from manual removal of bacteria to antibiotics placed directly into the gum tissue.
• Root Canal - An infection inside your tooth that reaches the root and its nerves can be very painful.  Root canal therapy relieves the pain.  Antibiotics can then treat the infection.  The tooth most likely will require a crown.
• Implants - An implant is a man-made artificial tooth root.  The implant itself is made from a titanium alloy and is implanted in the jawbone to function like the root of your missing tooth.  Dental implants may make it possible for you to eat and speak with comfort and confidence again.  Your natural teeth are stable biting and chewing surfaces because they are supported by the tooth root in the jawbone.  The dental implant supports the artificial tooth for more normal biting, chewing and speaking.
  
  Dental implants are equally effective for a single tooth or a series of teeth to replace a bridge or denture.
