DENTAL CROWNS

Crowns are used to cover damaged, cracked, chipped teeth, or to generally restore teeth. When cemented into place, they fully cup over the portion of a tooth which lies at and above the gum line. We match the color of your teeth to give you a natural look and feel.

CROWN AND BRIDGEWORK

A dental bridge is a custom device anchored to neighboring teeth that replaces one or more missing teeth. A tooth or teeth replaced with bridgework are replaced by a natural-looking prosthetic (replacement) that is held together by the teeth on either side of the missing one(s). Crowns and bridges are most commonly prepared from high quality materials such as semiprecious or precious metals, porcelain, or a fused combination of the two. Your dentist will take into account esthetics, function and tissue compatibility when selecting the material most suitable for your teeth.

AESTHETIC FILLINGS

Teeth fillings are utilized using the most modern advancements in dentistry. The exact placing of modern composites allows the tooth to be as close as possible to its original strength in the most conservative fashion. Modern dental technologies use composites of a very hard "plastic" that bonds (micro-mechanical fuses) to the tooth to hold the tooth together. The use of amalgam fillings has been replaced with these plastics as some dentists believe that amalgam fillings expand and contract with hot, cold and biting. Some believe amalgam technology can lead to teeth that are weakened with every meal and that are susceptible to fracturing. Amalgam also contains mercury, a toxic element that is released from the fillings that has uncertain effects on the entire body.

COSMETIC DENTURES

Dentures are a common restorative device used to replace missing teeth for people with no teeth. They can also be used in mouths where several teeth need to be replaced. These types of dentures are called partials and are also a popular alternative to those who wish to conserve existing healthy teeth. Dentures allow for the ability to chew and bite properly, and prevent a sagging facial appearance.

VENEERS

Porcelain laminate veneers consist of a compilation of several thin ceramic layers which replace original tooth enamel, and an adhesive layer. To apply a veneer, a very small amount of the original tooth enamel must be removed, usually less than a millimeter. This is essential as it creates room for the porcelain veneer to fit within the mouth and most accurately restore natural tooth function while creating an even better appearance than the original tooth.
