Information About Our Procedures:

Porcelain veneers are an alternative to the traditional methods of crowning and bonding. They are ultra-thin pieces of ceramic glass made to precisely fit over your tooth. They are stronger and last longer than teeth bonded with tooth-colored materials. A more precise color is available and it may improve the strength of the tooth. Spacing problems can also be reduced.

A crown is a restoration that covers or "caps" a tooth so as to restore it to its normal color, size, shape or strength.
A bridge is a fixed appliance that replaces one or more teeth.  It is firmly attached to the teeth and cannot be removed by the patient.

Implants are another option for replacing missing.  An implant mimics a real tooth in the sense that there is a “root” that holds the tooth in the jawbone.  After a healing period, a crown is placed that connects to the implant.

Composites are non-mercury, tooth colored fillings that are placed in front and back teeth.  They are bonded and light-cured and are esthetically excellent.  This type of restoration has become common and widely used.

Preventative Care - Daily home care (brushing and flossing) for plaque removal as well as regular six-month visits with your dental hygienist are vital to maintaining tooth and gum health.
Sealants – Enamel sealants (or pit and fissure sealants) is a preventative procedure to prevent tooth decay.  Teeth may have grooves and pits on the chewing surfaces not able to be cleaned with a toothbrush.  The sealants keep the bacterial plaque and food out of these areas to prevent decay.  Although children receive significant benefits from sealants, adults can also be a risk for pit and fissure decay and can be considered for this treatment.  Ask us about sealants at your next visit!
Periodontal or “Gum” Treatment – Periodontal or “gum” disease involves inflamed tissue surrounding the teeth.  Long term inflammation can result in bone and attachment loss, tooth mobility, possible tooth loss and has effects on your total health.  The first step in treatment is deep scaling, a non-surgical procedure which removes tartar and calculus from the tooth root surfaces allowing surrounding tissue to heal.  Sometimes local anesthesia is used and multiple visits may be necessary following initial therapy.  Re-care visits with your Hygienist are essential in 3, 4 or 6 month intervals.

Root Canal Therapy treats disorders of the nerve (pulp) of the tooth.  The purpose of this procedure is to retain teeth that otherwise would have to be extracted.  The treatment can be completed in one office visit, but may sometimes require additional visits.  A crown is necessary after root therapy to prevent breakage of the treated tooth.

Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom made, nearly undetectable aligners. 

Because there are no metal wires or brackets, Invisalign is comfortable.  Because the trays are removable, eating, brushing, and flossing is not a problem.

So whether your teeth are crowded, too far apart or have shifted since wearing braces, you’ll have a new reason to smile.
