Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom made, tooth-shaped cap that fits over an existing tooth that is damaged. A tooth may require a crown when it is no longer strong enough to sustain proper function. Here are just some examples of why a tooth would need a crown
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is used to fill in the space where a tooth was removed. A dental bridge can also be described as two or more dental crowns fused together. Dental crowns are placed on the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth with a replacement tooth fused in the middle. Dental bridges are a great way to replace missing teeth without compromising esthetics. They are permanently cemented in place and do not come out like partials or dentures.
Teeth Whitening
Whitening can be a very effective way to lighten the natural shade of your teeth without removing any of the tooth structure. There are several reasons you may consider whitening. As we know, our teeth can become discolored as we age, but there are other factors that contribute to stain. Stain on the surface of the tooth can be caused by food or drinks such as tea, coffee, and red wine. Other causes for staining are smoking or vaping.
Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are custom-made porcelain shells that cover your natural teeth. Veneers can correct worn, cracked, discolored, broken, or poorly-spaced teeth. These shells are bonded to the natural tooth and allow us to change the shape, color, or size of your natural tooth. And best of all, most patients report no discomfort at all during the procedure!
Implant Restorations
Now regarded as the ideal tooth replacement option, dental implant therapy for a healthy and disease-free mouth can provided a very natural and functional option for replacing a tooth. Implants are prosthetic tooth roots placed once a tooth or teeth have been removed. Through its connection with an abutment, they implants support the fixed restoration, such as a crown or a bridge or even a denture. The process requires 4-6 months of healing after the implant is surgically placed in the jaw.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding, also known as dental resin or dental composite, is a cosmetic procedure that is a simple and esthetically pleasing way to repair teeth that have minor fractures, chips, or wear. It can even be added to teeth to make them longer if there is asymmetry. It is also used to fix dental decay (cavities) and restore the tooth to its original state.Â
