- Teeth CleaningPeriodontal disease is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. Your gum tissue is not attached to the teeth as high as it may seem. There is a very shallow v-shaped crevice called a sulcus between the tooth and gums. Periodontal diseases attack just below the gum line in the sulcus, where they cause the attachment of the tooth and its supporting tissues to break down. Periodontal diseases are classified according to the severity of the disease. The two major stages are gingivitis and periodontitis. As there are different stages of gum disease, there are different types of ‘cleanings’.

- VeneersVeeners are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials (usually porcelain) designed to cover the front side of teeth. This is an irreversible process, because it’s necessary to remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth to accommodate the shell. Sometimes a veneer might chip or fracture. But for many people the results are more than worth it. It is a great way to correct crooked, permanently stained, or gapped front teeth.
- CrownsA crown is placed to restore a tooth to its ideal shape and size improving its appearance. It can be placed atop a natural tooth or a dental implant (in cases of tooth loss). We use several types of materials when fabricating a crown; this is determined based on individual situations. Tooth loss can affect the alignment of your teeth, the way you eat, and the way you speak. Two ways to replace a missing tooth/teeth are dental implants and bridges. A dental implant is a biocompatible metal that is surgically placed within the jaw bone. It is then restored with a dental crown as mentioned before. A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth (called a pontic), looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been.

- DenturesIf you’ve lost all of your natural teeth, whether from periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury, complete dentures can replace your missing teeth and restore your mouth to function. Replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health. Without support from the denture, facial tissues sag, making a person look older.

- Tooth ExtractionsUnfortunately not all teeth can be saved, although our goal is to keep as many healthy teeth as we can. If a tooth extraction is necessary, rest assured that we will make the experience as stress-free as possible. There are several options available to lessen your anxiety before and during the procedure. After the extraction, in most cases a small amount of bleeding is normal. Avoid anything that might prevent normal healing.
- OrthodonticsClear aligners are nearly invisible plastic shells that snap over your teeth. As you wear them, they apply gentle pressure on your teeth to gradually reposition them. If you have mild to moderate orthodontic problems, aligner treatments may be the orthodontic solution you’ve been looking for.

- Teeth WhiteningWe offer a couple of options for you to achieve a brighter smile, in-office whitening (‘Zoom’) and take home whitening trays. In-office whitening is performed in the dental chair and usually takes about an hour, but in rare occasion it maybe necessary to have a second visit to achieve the desired result. A protective gel will be applied to your gums or a rubber shield to protect the oral soft tissues. A bleaching agent is then applied to the teeth, and a special light will be used to enhance the action of the agent.
