Diagnostic

• Dental Examination

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  A dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from a dentist or dental hygienist. Most dental cleanings take approximately 50 minutes. Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. During your routine cleaning we will remove excess plaque and polish your teeth.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Crowns
  A root canal cleans out the infected tooth pulp and disinfects the tooth canals. An alternate treatment would be to extract the tooth. Once the infection is resolved, the canal is filled to prevent further disease. Usually, a core build-up and crown are recommended for restoring a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Root canal treatment (also called root canal therapy or endodontic therapy) is necessary when an untreated cavity reaches the pulp. Treatment may also be needed when deep restorations or trauma to a tooth causes nerve damage. Once the pulp becomes infected, and can begin to eat away at the surrounding bone (this is known as an abscess). If the pulp is infected, it is painful and will require treatment as it cannot heal on its own. Symptoms that indicate the pulp has become infected may include sensitivity to hot/cold or sweets, pain, swelling, pain to biting or pressure, and a bad taste in the mouth. However, sometimes no symptoms are apparent, and you may be unaware of any problem until a checkup.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. There are two types of dentures available, including partial and complete dentures. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, while complete dentures are used to completely replace all teeth. Dentures are made to resemble your natural teeth so there should be no noticeable change to your appearance. In fact, dentures may even improve your smile!

Implants

• Dental Implants
  A dental implant is an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth as a result of injury, periodontal disease, or any other reason. A dental implant is a metal post that a periodontist or oral surgeon surgically positions into the jaw. Once in place and bone surrounding the implant has had time to heal, a replacement tooth is attached to the post. While implants are typically more expensive than other methods of tooth replacement, they provide superior benefits. Implants are stronger than natural teeth and generally last 10-20 years. They are also a more favorable approach than bridgework since they do not depend on neighboring teeth for support.

Orthodontics

• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Invisalign is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces, using a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
• Braces
  Invisalign is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces, using a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets. You wear each set of clear aligners for about two weeks, removing them to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position. You’ll visit us about once every six weeks to ensure your treatment progresses as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months, and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  Teeth whitening is one of the simplest and most effective ways to keep a healthy, youthful, attractive, and brighter smile that can last a lifetime. Research has shown that we focus most on a person's eyes and teeth when meeting someone for the first time. No wonder that the demand for whiter teeth has never been greater. At our office, we are excited to provide beautiful, healthy, and whiter smiles for our patients. There are many ways to whiten teeth: overlaying porcelain and plastic fillings or filling-like materials within or onto your teeth, conservative roughening and then polishing the outermost layers of your teeth, and placement of whitening solutions on your teeth. "Teeth whitening" is the most straightforward and most conservative of all these. No alteration to the teeth is required.
