Amalgams/Mercury Fillings-- Why? - There's some
debate in the dental industry regarding the pros and cons of using silver
fillings, or dental amalgams, to fill cavities. At our office, we exclusively
use composite resins for several reasons.
Crowns - If you’re self-conscious about your
smile due to cracked, broken, decayed, or worn teeth, we can bring back
your healthy, natural-looking smile with dental crowns.
Fixed Bridges - If you’ve lost teeth due
to accident, injury, or gum disease, we can create a permanent 'bridge'
appliance to replace the missing teeth.
Gum Disease: Serious But Treatable - Although gum
disease is terribly pervasive, it's also preventable. Conservative estimates
report that up to 80% of people unknowingly have some amount of chronic
gum disease.
Implants - Permanent, Secure Tooth Replacements -
When people lose permanent teeth due to accident, injury, disease or
extraction, dental implants can be a secure, functional replacement option.
Invisalign: Braces for the 21st Century - FDA approved
Invisalign is the “invisible” way to straighten your teeth
without wearing conventional metal braces.
Lasers in Dentistry - Lasers offer higher quality
treatments, better outcomes, and greater comfort for the patient.
Laser Treatment for Gum Disease – An excellent
new alternative for treating gum disease with almost no discomfort and
better long term results.
Mini Implant Dentures: No Small Wonder! - “Mini
implants,” a one-step procedure that involves minimally invasive
surgery with no sutures, are developed to provide greater denture stability.
Oral Cancer - Oral cancer, which has a high mortality
rate unless caught in the very early stages, is painless, sneaky and
often undetected until it’s advanced far beyond what's successfully
treatable.
Porcelain Veneers - Porcelain veneers can often
provide people who have chipped, stained, discolored, unevenly spaced,
or even slightly crooked front teeth with a completely new-looking smile
in just a few simple appointments.
TMJ Disorder - TMJ disorder or TMD can cause a
wide variety of mild to severe symptoms, from jaw clicking and minor
discomfort to sharp pain in your temple, ear, jaw and teeth; it can also "lock" your
jaw open or shut, or dislocate the jaw altogether.
Whitening - Thankfully, you don’t have to
live with discolored or dingy colored teeth. If you would like a whiter,
brighter smile, talk to your dentist about teeth whitening.
CEREC - This revolutionary system allows us to
replace full or partial crown damage in a single visit.
