Tooth-Colored Fillings
Fillings are one of the most common ways to treat cavities. Once we remove the decay, we'll use a composite resin material to fill in space left behind after the removal. One of the benefits of using composite resin is that we can carefully match the color of the filling to the shade of your teeth, so most people won't even be able to tell it's there!
CEREC® Same-Day Crowns
Crowns are dental caps that go over an existing tooth. They are used to cover chips, cracks, tooth discoloration, and more. They are also great for supporting weak teeth. Traditional crowns take multiple visits to complete because they have to be sent to an off-site lab for the fabrication process. At our practice, we've invested in CEREC technology which means that we can design, manufacture, and place our patients' crowns in a single visit!
Dental Bridges
Are you missing one tooth or multiple teeth in a row? Dental bridges may be the solution that you're looking for. A bridge is a natural-looking prosthesis with dental crowns on each end and replacement teeth in the middle. The crowns attach to existing teeth on either side of the gap to support the bridge or they can connect to dental implants (if the patient has them). Once the bridge is in place, the replacement teeth will fill in the gap left behind from the missing teeth.
Full & Partial Dentures
We provide custom dentures to replace a full or partial arch of teeth. Dentures have a gum-colored, acrylic base with a set of natural-looking replacement teeth attached. Full dentures sit snugly on the gumline and stay in place with the help of extra-strength denture adhesive. We also provide denture stabilization, which means we can modify your dentures in a way where they can snap onto implants so they won't slip or budge.
Root Canal Therapy
Do you have a severely damaged or decayed tooth? Root canal therapy is a simple procedure that alleviates tooth pain. Root canals give an injured tooth a second chance and prevent the need for an extraction. For root canals, we'll make a small entry point in the top of the crown to remove the damaged pulp inside. Then, we will disinfect the inside of the tooth and fill in the space to prevent future infection. While root canals may sound intimidating, don't worry! We thoroughly numb the area and have nitrous oxide for additional comfort.
