• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Dental amalgam, or silver filling material, is a mixture of mercury, and an alloy of silver, tin and copper. The release of mercury in silver fillings is so small that it is much less than what patients are exposed to in food, air and water. There are, however, other materials that can be used for restorations. These include gold, porcelain, and composite resins. Composite resins are tooth colored fillings that strengthen the teeth and give a youthful appearance. Fluoride is a compound of the element fluorine, which is found universally throughout nature in water, soil, air and in most foods. Fluoride is absorbed easily into the tooth enamel, especially in children’s growing teeth. Once teeth are developed, fluoride makes the entire tooth structure more resistant to decay and promotes remineralization, which aids in repairing early decay before the damage is visible. Radiographs, or x-rays, help your dentist determine the presence or degree of periodontal disease, abscesses, and many abnormal growths such as cysts and tumors. They can help pinpoint the location of cavities and other signs of disease that may not be possible to detect through a visual examination. All health care providers are sensitive to patients’ concerns about exposure to radiation. Your dentist has been trained to prescribe radiographs when they are appropriate and to tailor the radiograph schedule to your individual needs. By using state-of-the-art technology, such as digital radiography, and by staying knowledgeable about recent advances, your dentist knows which techniques, procedures and X-ray films can minimize your exposure to radiation.
• Veneers
  Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic material which are bonded to the front of the teeth. This procedure can be an ideal choice for a brighter, younger, more beautiful smile.
• Crowns
  Crowns are sometimes referred to as “caps.” They are an artificial replacement for the part of the tooth that is above the gum line. A crown typically covers the entire tooth, replacing most of the enamel. They can be made from…

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  A root canal is a procedure done to save the damaged or dead pulp in the root canal of the tooth by cleaning out the diseased pulp and reshaping the canal. The canal is filled with gutta percha, a rubberlike material, to prevent recontamination of the tooth. The tooth is then permanently sealed with possibly a post and/or a gold or porcelain crown. This enables patients to keep the original tooth.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Dentures are no longer the only way to restore a mouth that has few or no restorable teeth. Strategically placed supports, or implants, can now be used to support permanently cemented bridges, and can bring back the feel of real teeth. Dental implants are becoming the alternative of choice to dentures, but not everyone is a candidate for implants. Call us for a consult.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Dental implants are substitutes for natural tooth roots and rely on the jawbone for support. Strategically placed implants can now be used to support permanently cemented bridges, eliminating the need for a denture. Implants work and feel like natural teeth.

• Teeth Whitening
  No. When carbamide peroxide, the active whitening agent, contacts water, hydrogen peroxide is released which whitens the teeth. Bleaching does not soften, demineralize or weaken the teeth.

  Wish your smile was straighter? Brighter? Do you have gaps, chipped, short or broken teeth? Maybe you just aren’t happy with your current smile and want to look fresher and younger. The advent of cosmetic dentistry has made it possible for
