• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Cosmetic tooth bonding involves masking imperfections such as blemishes ranging from small chips, discoloration and gaps, or by filling a decayed tooth by bonding tooth-colored resin composite to your natural tooth. Cosmetic tooth bonding can be highly effective, as well as the simplest and most cost-effective. Dental bonding usually lasts up to 10 years, however, periodic touch-ups or replacements are not uncommon.
• Veneers
  Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain used to recreate the natural look of teeth. Porcelain veneers can be used to change the shape, size and or color of the tooth. Not only do veneers improve the look of your teeth, but they can also help preserve your tooth’s enamel.
• Crowns
  Inlays and onlays are dental alternatives to filling a cavity. They are stronger than a traditional filling, and can also be an alternative to crowns. Furthermore, there are more colors available with inlays and outlays, making it easier to match the exact color of your existing teeth. Inlays bond with the cavity on tip of the tooth. Conversely, onlays extend beyond the tip of the tooth and are generally for larger cavities. Both are available in various materials such as porcelain, gold or a composite and can greatly increase the strength of your tooth.
• Bridges
  Crowns and Bridges are considered the most common and highly effective solutions for improving imperfections such as a damaged or a missing tooth. The results allow you to chew food easier and help balance your bite while reducing the ability of your existing teeth to shift and catch food in between them.

  Do you have spacing, crooked teeth or a crowded smile? Is your jaw properly aligned? These issues don’t just affect how attractive your smile is, they can also cause gum disease and how you function daily. Aside from being aesthetically pleasing, straight teeth aren’t as prone to decay or injury. Invisalign® is an alternative approach to traditional braces. They are clear aligners that can be swapped out every few weeks as your teeth begin to adjust. Patients can safely straighten their teeth without notice from the outside eye.
• Braces
  Custom mouthguards can be used to aid with TMJ disorders and to protect athletes who wear braces, but can also be fabricated for athletics. Mouthguards can protect the teeth and gums from injury, in addition to absorbing trauma shock in order to risk the chance of a concussion. By taking an impression of your teeth, we can create custom mouthguards fitted to your mouth for the highest level of comfort and protection.
