Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening services are one of the most requested services offered by our practice. In-office bleaching provides the quickest way to whiten your teeth. With in-office bleaching, the whitening product is applied directly to the teeth. Take home custom made trays and professional strength ‘strips’ are also available and are very effective over a 2 – 3 week period of time. Length of time varies for individuals.

Crowns & Bridges

Crowns are used to strengthen and protect what is left of the tooth structure while a bridge is a device used to replace one or more missing teeth. Crowns and the abutment (or anchor) teeth, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that is at or above the gum line. Both crowns and bridges can improve the appearance of your smile, and restore chewing function.

With crowns and bridges you have a choice of materials. We can help you decide which to use, based on the location of the missing tooth (or teeth), its function, aesthetic considerations and cost. Porcelain or ceramic bridges can be matched to the color of your natural teeth, sometimes allowing them to be made lighter than your natural teeth to improve and brighten your smile.

Veeners & Bonding

Dental Veneers are thin, semi-translucent "shells" typically bonded to your front teeth. Composite bonding is used to improve the appearance of your teeth. Both veneers and bonding will help enhance your smile. It allows changes in the shape, length and color of your teeth.

Root Canals (Endodontics)

Root canal procedures are performed when the nerve of the tooth becomes infected or the pulp becomes damaged. This treatment can also protect the tooth from any future damage, while also alleviating any pain and discomfort that is being experienced. Root canals are often performed by an Endodontist who is a specialist in the area of soft tissue inside the tooth.

Prevention

Brushing and flossing your teeth helps limit bacteria and plaque buildup. A combination of bacteria and food causes tooth decay and cavities. Taking steps to limit bacteria will prevent tooth decay and other oral health problems from occurring. Regular preventive care visits with our hygienists are recommended to maintain your oral health.

Dental Implants

Implants provide a strong foundation for permanent or removable replacement teeth that are made to match the look and shape of your natural teeth.

Early Dental Care

Early dental care promotes a lifetime of healthy smiles. Learning how to maintain optimum oral health starts at childhood, so it is important for kids to start learning early. We recommend the first visit around age 3 or when all 20 “baby” teeth have erupted.

Periodontics

Periodontists specialize in the treatment and surgery of the area around the tooth, which relates to your bone and gums. Periodontists also do bone grafts and implants.

Options for Anesthetics in Dentistry

Along with the usual type injections for anesthetic we now have a system called the “Wand”. The Wand® STA is a computer controlled anesthesia delivery system that provides immediate, pain free dental anesthesia for all injection types.
