Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Our dentists provide tooth-colored dental fillings to repair and restore damaged teeth. This type of filling is designed to restore your tooth’s shape, appearance, and strength, blending in with your natural teeth for a completely natural look. These fillings are made from durable and long-lasting composite resin material, making them an excellent option for those who prioritize both function and aesthetics.
• Veneers
  “Veneer” refers to covering up an object, item, or material. Accordingly, dental veneers cover up cosmetically “imperfect” teeth. In doing so, they beautify the smile by making gaps, chips, small cracks, and other aesthetic concerns “disappear.” Dental porcelain is typically used for veneers because the material optimally replicates the attractive appearance and strength of natural, unblemished tooth enamel. Additionally, porcelain resists stains very well to maintain a dazzling smile for a lifetime. Modern veneers are also very thin. So, the utmost natural tooth structure is preserved. The enamel is altered minimally to make room for the veneer that is applied and secured to the natural tooth.
• Crowns
  After you have received a dental crown or bridge, do not eat for at least two hours or until the anesthesia has worn off.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  Root planing and scaling, also known as deep cleaning, is a non-surgical procedure performed by dentists or dental hygienists to treat gum disease or periodontitis. It involves removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the tooth surfaces and below the gumline. The procedure aims to eliminate infection and inflammation in the gums and promote healing. Root planing and scaling are necessary when gum disease has progressed beyond the early stages and regular cleaning is not sufficient to address the problem. It helps prevent further damage to the gums and bone supporting the teeth and promotes better oral health.

• Braces
  Aligned teeth promote a balanced smile. Symmetry and uniformity are associated with attractiveness. By correcting crowding, closing gaps, and otherwise repositioning the teeth, we create or restore a more uniform-looking smile. When you are happy about how you look (as the smile plays a central role in facial appearance), it tends to show. Our patients walk a little taller. They speak confidently and laugh without holding back. That’s the power of cosmetic enhancement. However, braces transcend the cosmetic. The relationship between the teeth plays a vital role in oral health. Teeth that are evenly spaced are easier to clean, which helps to prevent destructive dental decay and disease.
