Tooth Colored Fillings
Tooth colored fillings (white fillings) directly bond to the teeth, providing strength
in addition to aesthetics. Composite fillings are preferred over amalgam fillings
(silver fillings) due to their ability to bond and become a part of the tooth structure,
whereas amalgam fillings are held in place by the shape of the prepared tooth structure.

Implants
An implant is placed in the gums where teeth are missing. When the implant is ready
to be restored (usually within 4-6 months after placement), impressions are taken
and sent to the lab to make the permanent crown that will be attached to the implant.
Implant restoration can last a lifetime. Read More...

Crowns
A crown is done to strengthen the tooth that is otherwise weakened by a large filling,
fracture, decay or when it is badly damaged. There are several indications for placing
a crown on a tooth, these can be due to aesthetic considerations, but most are due
to considerable loss of tooth structure. A crown also protects the tooth from heavy
biting forces we generate on our teeth while chewing. Once restored with a crown,
the tooth functions as a natural tooth. Read More...

joining an artificial tooth permanently to the adjacent teeth on each side of the
missing area. The teeth on each side of the missing area will be prepared for a

will be attached to the crowns adjacent to it. A bridge is a fixed restoration that
replaces missing teeth. Read More...

Invisalign
Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made
series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of
smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth.
Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based
on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans out for you. There are
no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of
aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete. You’ll
achieve a great smile with little interference in your daily life. The best part
about the whole process is that most people won't even know you're straightening
your teeth. Read More...

for periodontal (gum) disease. The process involves the removal of plaque and tarter

the gumline. Local anesthetic may be used to numb the area being treated during
each visit. Read More...
