- Gold RestorationsPermenant restorations through an old technique involving the use of gold. Gold is malleable, ductile and extremely durable. It can be devised to have the same wear resistance as natural tooth, making it more suitable and more ideal substance than any other material.
- VeneersWhen unhappy with one's smile, there are many options to correcting the appearance. Depending on the reason of the dissatisfaction, a solution can be determined and options be given. From my experience, the deciding factor usually comes down to financial and time factors. I am a conservative dentist and usually prefer to see a patient choose a non-aggressive, non-invasive procedure over one that requires unnecessary removal of a tooth. If teeth are misaligned, a patient can elect orthodontic treatment (braces) regardless of age; or elect to have veneers to structurally redesign an ideal smile. Sometimes it is have found that simply whitening a patient's teeth and redoing some stained fillings improve their smile dramatically. This is a case by case scenario and it is advised to seek the opinion of a dental professional.

- Root Canal TreatmentQuite often, a dentist will find a cavity and the patient may wonder why it does not hurt. When a cavity begins on the surface of the tooth, it causes the enamel to demineralize and the cavity will move deeper into the tooth. The nerve is in the center of the tooth and may very often feel fine until the decay has spread so large that it reaches the nerve. Very often, when it begins to hurt, it is often too late and the tooth may require a root canal (removal of the tooth's nerve), or tooth extraction.
- Deep CleaningNormal cleanings are prophylactic cleanings above and around the gums. In health, it is sufficient is cleaning the plaque and any offensive material off the surface of the teeth. Upon gingival evaluation (gum probing), if there are signs of deep pocketing or bone deterioration, a patient may need more extensive treatment than simply a surface cleaning. The dental professional needs to remove the offensive agent and bacterial remains from areas under the gum-line, known as a deep cleaning or scale and root planing.

- Teeth WhiteningWhen the teeth are stained yellow, brown, or gray, it is important to determine the cause of the stain, as results will greatly vary. Medications such as Tetracycline have been known to dramatically discolor teeth during its developmental state. Also, it may be due to genetics and one has only their own parents to blame. Other times it may be simply due to environmental factors such as coffee and soda. Seek to consult your dental professional and if medically cleared, one can try over-the-counter White Strips. If the patient is seeking a more professional result, one can elect to have an in-house plasma one-hour whitening or custom bleaching trays to whiten their teeth and remove any stains that are on or in the teeth.
