Our goal is to provide treatment that will last a long time, be pain free and be cost effective. The most cost effective method is prevention. We use a new technology called a Diagnotodent to shine a laser into the deep grooves and fissures of newly erupted teeth to determine hidden decay and provide sealants if needed.

Bonding restores teeth that are chipped, cracked, misaligned or discolored. A plastic resin somewhat like putty is used to rebuild the teeth and make them look natural. This is usually a one visit appointment. You can expect a bonded restoration to last 3-5 years before it needs to be touched up.

Cosmetic imaging is a computerized program which allows you to visualize the proposed changes in your smile and see in advance if the treatment is right for you. This service is complimentary.

Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells adhered onto the surfaces of prepared teeth in much the same way that false fingernails are applied. Veneers correct or camouflage severe discoloration, damage, misalignment, or teeth that are poorly shaped. This procedure takes two or more appointments. Veneers are more durable than bonding and last considerably longer than bonding. Sample photos below:

Bridges are tooth replacements that are attached to adjoining natural teeth. Bridges require that the adjoining teeth be healthy and have adequate gum and root support. This usually requires 2-3 visits.

A dental implant is much like a natural tooth, which has a root in your jawbone, topped by a crown that you can see. When you need an implant , a metal post is inserted beneath your gum and into the jaw bone. It fuses to the bone in your jaw and acts like the root of a tooth. Then a tooth is placed on the metal post and is designed to blend in with the way your own teeth look and feel. Dental Implants can also be used to anchor dentures. Because implants require surgery they are not for everybody. Photos coming:

Root Canal therapy is performed to save teeth which are infected, cracked or involve pain. This procedure is usually not painful if diagnosed early but if put off over time can be very difficult to manage. This procedure will allow you to keep your tooth, avoiding extraction as well as costly tooth replacement.

When a tooth is developing, deep grooves form on the biting surfaces of the back teeth. These grooves are called fissures/pits. Because toothbrush bristles cannot reach all the way into the pits and fissures, food and bacteria cannot be easily removed. Tooth sealants protect these vulnerable areas by sealing our plaque and food. Although only 12.5% of all tooth surfaces are chewing surfaces, these surfaces develop more than 66% of the total cavities developed by children.

Bleaching is successful in at least 90% of the patients. Consider bleaching if your teeth are darkened from age, coffee, tea or smoking. If you are in a hurry for whiter teeth, you may decide to have your teeth lightened immediately through an in office procedure. However, most patients choose dentist-supervised at-home bleaching, which is more economical and provides the same results without sensitivity. Lightness should last from 1 to 5 years and can be touched up at any time. Several studies have shown bleaching to be safe and effective.

A tooth is supported at its base the same as a fence post. As long as two thirds of the post is in the ground, it's a strong fence post. The same holds true for teeth. Periodontal disease refers primarily to the loss of bone which surrounds the tooth, a primary symptom of periodontal disease is inflammation with varying degrees of bleeding. This disease is painless and frequently ignored until it becomes advanced, causing pus formation and tooth loss. Signs and symptoms are carefully evaluated at each preventative visit.
