Dental implants are artificial tooth replacements that are used to counter tooth loss. The procedure is categorized as a form of prosthetic (artificial replacement) dentistry, though it also falls into the category of cosmetic dentistry as well.
Although you have a number of restorative options for the treatment of missing teeth, none have proven to be as functionally effective and durable as implants. In many cases, dental implants may be the only logical choice for the restoration of all necessary functionality of the teeth and supporting structures.

This is a major breakthrough in conservative dentistry. Some of us remember gold inlays and onlays and their long-lasting durability. But pretty? Not really; not by today’s standards. But you can possibly avoid caps and conserve tooth structure if you are a candidate for these tooth colored, lab processed, and beautifully crafted laser bonded inlays or onlays. An inlay is the preferred treatment when tooth decay or damage lies within the cusp tips of the tooth. An onlay is the needed treatment if the extent of damage is greater; requiring the new restoration to cover the entire chewing surface of one or more tooth cusp tips. Inlays and onlays allow for the preservation and conservation of healthy tooth structure while strengthening it at the same time. The two-visit process is such. After preparing and impressing, new high tech porcelain and resin materials are fabricated at the dental lab to custom fit and perfectly match your tooth color. Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, the inlay or onlay is then laser bonded onto your tooth to become “one”, natural looking tooth. Even dentists have been fooled by their appearance thinking they are natural teeth that have never been restored. And because of the strength of laser bonding, there is no need to cut away chunks of healthy tooth structure or grind the tooth down to a stub for the sake of retention. Only the decay and damaged tooth structure is removed. Hence, teeth will last longer and dental emergencies will be minimized.

A crown is a custom made restoration that completely covers your tooth. Crowns not only repair and strengthen a damaged tooth, they can also be used to improve your appearance by covering a discolored or misshaped tooth. You may need a crown if:

Your tooth has fractured
A filling has fallen out
Have had root canal therapy
Have a very large cavity
Would like to improve your appearance

A missing tooth can cause a chain reaction of problems. Surrounding teeth may shift causing stress to the jaw joints (TMJ) when you chew. It’s much harder to clean teeth when they have shifted. A Bridge fills in the space using the adjoining teeth for support.

When the pulp layer of the tooth is infected we recommend root canal therapy. If the tooth is severely broken down it may be necessary to rebuild the tooth with a post and core. Finally, we place a crown to protect and strengthen your tooth.

When your dentist diagnoses periodontal gum disease, one of the common treatments is scaling and root planning. Scaling is used to remove plaque and tarter allowing the gum tissue around the tooth to heal.

Sealants are a clear acrylic like material that helps shield the decay causing bacteria from the chewing surfaces of the back teeth and are particularly good for young children.

An artistic placement of tooth colored plastic material to the front or back tooth to enhance the color, shape or size of tooth. Bonding protects the tooth from additional damage and ware. Bonding is a perfect option for correcting the problems with spaces between teeth and teeth that are misshaped, small, darken or discolored.
