All Porcelain Crowns

All Porcelain Crowns have made all the difference in cosmetic dentistry. Traditionally, you had to have a metal “coping” placed directly against your tooth, with a layer of opaque and then a layer of porcelain placed on top of the metal to make it look toothlike. With the improvement in the strength of porcelain, we no longer need the metal in the vast majority of cases. The elimination of the metal allows light to pass through the porcelain just as it does a natural tooth.

Bridgework & Dentures

Replacing missing teeth can be accomplished in several ways: Implants, Fixed Bridgework, Removable Bridgework (Partials), and Full Dentures. Please see the Implant section for more information on this terrific alternative. Fixed bridgework attaches to the teeth in front of and behind the missing tooth/teeth. Those teeth are prepared for crowns, a bridge is made and then it is cemented into place.

Cosmetics

What makes a smile so important? Our family and friends ask us for one every time we pose for a photograph. We tell those we care about to do it whenever we see them looking sad. Smiles are magical, motivating and extremely persuasive. A smile is a key to practically any door. How beautiful is your smile? A great smile can make a person’s confidence level and self-esteem soar.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants have forever changed the options you have for replacing missing teeth. Whether you’re missing just a few teeth, or all of your teeth, implants can help restore the natural appearance and function you used to enjoy. You may find that there are other things you miss like your natural smile or your ability to chew apples, crackers and other food you desire.

Gum Disease & Health

Research has shown many links between gum (periodontal) disease and our overall health. Common sense should tell us that infections, whether in our arms, legs, or mouth, are not healthy for our body. When you have gum infection (which many times has no symptoms) you have bacteria under your gumline depositing their toxins into your gum tissue.

Invisalign

With today’s technology, many people can straighten their teeth without the use of traditional braces. Invisalign is a clear alternative to metal braces. By using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth with results you’ll notice sooner than you think. And unlike braces, these clear aligners can be removed so you can eat and take care of your teeth as usual.

Laser

We hear of the use of lasers in the medical field daily. Eye specialists rely on lasers. Many other surgeons use lasers in the operating room. In Dentistry, we use these same lasers to help you in a faster and more comfortable way. Aphthous ulcers (Canker Sores) and Herpes Blisters (Cold Sores on the lips) are rendered less painful and heal quicker. The laser sterilizes the area treated, so healing time is faster.

One Visit Crowns

Perhaps the single piece of technology that has changed dentistry in the last 25 years has been the development of CEREC Restorations. CEREC is the world’s only system for the fabrication of all ceramic dental restorations in one office visit. In the time it takes you to run errands or drive across town, you can have an all ceramic crown, onlay, or veneer made and placed in your mouth.

Veneers

We believe in conserving as much of your natural tooth as possible, while still giving you the smile you want. With the technology available today, you can have the smile you’ve always dreamed of in as little as two visits. This transformation can be achieved with veneers. Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are sculpted to bond to the front of your teeth. They can change the color, shape, and alignment of your teeth.
