Below are just some of the many procedures and services we regularly provide to our patients – with a gentle touch, and stunning results. Your smile is our first priority, and we’ll give you something to smile about. | |
Special Treatment & Services |
|
Invisalign®: Invisalign is a teeth straightening procedure that is a virtually invisible substitute for metal braces. It is proven technology designed to give you the smile you've always wanted, without the pain and anxiety associated with metal braces. |
|
LUMINEERS®: Ultra-thin LUMINEERS are a type of dental veneer that is custom designed to give you the beautiful smile you’ve always dreamed of. Unlike traditional veneers, there are no shots, no drilling of sensitive tooth structure, and no pain. They’re even reversible, so you have nothing to lose and a beautiful smile to gain. |
|
Snap-On Smile®: Snap-on Smile's unique, proprietary formula of hi-tech dental resin make it very thin yet extremely strong. It fits right over your own teeth to give you a beautiful, natural looking smile—even if you have stains, chips, gaps or missing teeth. |
|
Procedures & Treatments |
|
Bonding: Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material is applied to your teeth and hardened with a special light, which ultimately "bonds" the material to the tooth to restore or improve your smile. |
|
Braces: Dental braces are used to help align and straighten teeth and help to position them with regard to a person’s bite, while also working to improve dental health. There are many options available including traditional braces, ClearCorrect®, Invisalign®, Fastbraces®, and Six Month Smiles®. |
|
Cosmetic Dentistry / Smile MakeOvers: Cosmetic dentistry or Smile MakeOvers are terms generally used to refer to any dental work that improves the appearance of a person's teeth, gums and/or smile. |
|
Crowns & Bridges: Crowns and bridges are two restorative techniques that repair damaged or missing teeth. They restore tooth function and appearance, and avoid shifting teeth which can happen after a tooth is lost. By maintaining or restoring your bite and smile, the effects of the tooth damage or loss are reversed. |
|
Cosmetic Contouring: Cosmetic contouring corrects crooked teeth, chipped teeth, cracked teeth or even overlapping teeth in just one session. A few millimeters of reduction and a few millimeters of tooth-colored laminate can create a beautiful smile with no discomfort. |
|
Cosmetic Dental Fillings (Cavity Correction): Advances in dental materials and techniques allows teeth to be restored with a more aesthetic and natural appearance. There are different types of cosmetic fillings currently available. The type used will depend on the location of the tooth and the amount of tooth structure that needs to be repaired. |
|
Dental Implants: A dental implant is a titanium "root" or “pole” that is used as a support for the restoration that will replace one or more missing teeth. |
|
Dentures / Specialty Dentures: Dentures are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth, and supported by surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. Conventional dentures are removable; however there are many different denture designs, some which rely on bonding or clasping onto teeth or dental implants. Our office uses technological advancements to create dentures that are lightweight and mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. |
|
Periodontics & Gum Disease: Periodontics is the treatment of diseases that effect alveolar bone, periodontal ligament, cementum and gingival. Gum disease or gingivitis is a form of periodontal disease involving inflammation and infection that destroys the tissues that support the teeth, including the gums, the periodontal ligaments, and the tooth sockets (alveolar bone). Gingivitis is due to the long-term effects of plaque deposits. The best way to start periodontal care is to come in for a visit. The dentist will be able to help you decide on the best course of treatment. |
|
Endodontics & Root Canal Therapy: Endodontics refers to treating the tooth pulp and the tissues surrounding the root of a tooth, including root canal therapy, endodontic retreatment, surgery, treating cracked teeth, and treating dental trauma. Root canal therapy is one of the most common procedures and is designed to correct disorders of the dental pulp -- the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Teeth with abscessed or infected nerves were once removed with corrective therapy. But now, in 95 percent of these cases, the natural tooth can be saved with modern endodontic care. |
|
Scaling & Root Planing: Root planing and scaling is one of the most effective ways to treat gum disease before it becomes severe. Root planing and scaling cleans between the gums and the teeth down to the roots. |
|
Sedation and Anesthesia: Our office offers sedation and anesthesia during treatment to ensure you have the most comfortable treatment experience. |
|
Teeth Whitening / Teeth Bleaching: Tooth Whitening or Tooth Bleaching is ideal for people who have healthy teeth and gums but would like a whiter, brighter smile. Many teeth whitening systems are available, both at-home and in-office, including BriteSmile®, NiteWhite®, DayWhite®, LumiBrite™, ZOOM!®, and Opalescence®. |
|
Inlays and Onlays: Inlays and Onlays are indirect restorations that strengthen an existing tooth. An inlay consists of a solid substance, such as gold or porcelain, fitted to a cavity in a tooth and cemented into place. An onlay is the same as an inlay, except that it extends to replace a cusp. Crowns are onlays which completely cover all surfaces of a tooth. An inlay or onlay is used when the existing tooth is too damaged for a filling, but not damaged enough to require a dental crown or other treatment. |
|
Veneers & LUMINEERS®: A veneer is a thin layer of restorative material placed over a tooth surface, either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth, or to protect a damaged tooth surface. There are several versions of veneers including traditional veneers and ultra-thin LUMINEERS, which require no shots, no drilling of sensitive tooth structure, and no pain. Veneers & LUMINEERS are custom made to give you a beautiful smile. |
