OUR SERVICES
-

-
More Info...A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens weak tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations. A fixed bridge is a dental restoration that is fixed to surrounding teeth. The bridge fills (bridges) the gap left by the missing teeth, preventing the surrounding teeth from moving into the gap and becoming misaligned.
-
More Info...Invisalign clear aligners, an alternative to conventional metal braces, are a way to straighten teeth with a series of custom, nearly invisible aligners which gradually move your teeth toward the smile you always wanted. Because these aligners are removable, you can take them out to eat and brush and floss normally to keep your gums and teeth healthy. Whether your teeth are crowded, too far apart, or have shifted since wearing braces, Invisalign can be a viable treatment option for you. We offer Free Consultations to help you learn about Invisalign and the options available to you.
-
More Info...Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are very strong, stable, and durable and thus provide a permanent and fixed solution to missing teeth as well as an alternative to bridges and removable dentures. Implants can also provide excellent support and stability for removable dentures in some cases. Dental implants are artificial roots (titanium screws) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone. The teeth or crowns attached to implants are very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient’s smile and oral function!
-
More Info...We provide a range of cosmetic procedures to help you achieve the smile you've always wanted. These include crown & bridge, porcelain veneers, lumineers, cosmetic bonding, and teeth whitening.
-
More Info...Wisdom teeth are often impacted – not properly emerged through the gums, instead growing crooked or even completely sideways. Left untreated the impacted teeth can cause a host of problems including crowding, infections, and damage to the neighboring teeth. Even if not impacted, wisdom teeth can be difficult to clean and may require removal to reduce the risk of decay and infection.
