Composite Fillings & Bonding

A composite resin is a white filling used for small to medium-sized fillings.  Composites are placed after a cavity has been removed or to re-build a broken tooth.  Composites are a preferred restorative material due to their safety, esthetics, and preservation of natural structure.

Bonding is a non-invasive method to enhance the aesthetics of your smile.  Bonding can be used to correct cracks or gaps in your teeth or to cover up stains or discolored teeth. 

Crowns, Inlays & Onlays

Crowns, often referred to as a “cap,” serve many dental purposes. They can help strengthen a tooth with a large filling or fracture, they are used to attach bridges, protect a weak tooth from breaking, restore worn teeth, and cover teeth that are discolored or misshapen. Crowns are also used to cover a dental implant. Crowns can be made from a variety of materials to best suit your needs.  In some situations, partial crowns, known as an Inlay or Onlay, are used. Inlays and Onlays allow us to restore your tooth while conserving natural tooth structure.

Tooth Replacement

If you are missing a tooth or several teeth, you should consider having it replaced. In addition to the aesthetic disadvantage of missing a tooth, a gap can cause structural changes to your mouth and jaw, as well as making it difficult to eat or speak.

Implants

Dental implants are a permanent root replacement.  Implants are the most similar to your natural teeth.  Following integration of the titanium post into the bone, teeth can be restored.  Two parts are needed to restore the tooth – the abutment and the crown.  

Implants are great for replacing a single tooth, replacing multiple teeth, or stabilizing dentures. While implants are highly successful, planning is critical and total treatment time can take several months.

Dentures & Partials

Dentures are removable appliances that can replace missing teeth and their surrounding structures. If you have lost some or all of your natural teeth, whether from gum disease, tooth decay or injury, replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health. Dentures can make it easier to eat and speak, especially with the addition of implants.
