A genuine smile comes from the heart, but a healthy smile needs good dental care.

Bridges
When teeth are missing, a series of changes that can impact your overall dental health and jaw function may be initiated. The adjacent teeth may start to drift or tilt into the space, and teeth in the opposing jaw may start to shift toward the area of the missing tooth. It is, therefore, essential to replace the single tooth or multiple teeth that have been lost. One of the best options to prevent the consequences of shifting teeth and to restore full function to a small edentulous section in the mouth is a dental bridge.
Crowns
If dental decay, cracked fillings, root canals, clenching or grinding the teeth have caused extensive damage to the underlying tooth structure a dental filling may not be a sufficient restoration. The only way to completely restore the cosmetic appearance and function of this tooth is often full coverage with a dental crown. The good news is that a completed dental crown looks and feels like a natural tooth.
CBCT
Cone-beam computed tomography systems are radiographic systems used by dental professionals to analyze and reconstruct 3D images of a patient’s teeth, jaws, and surrounding anatomy. The information obtained by means of CBCT imaging is useful in both diagnosis and precise treatment planning when two-dimensional diagnostic films are insufficient. Dental CBCT is useful for multiple types of analyses and the assessment of maxillofacial disorders or pathology. It is also most useful in surgical planning, including the accurate placement of dental implants.
Dentures & Partials
Whether from disease, malnutrition, genetic disorders, or an accident, an individual must sometimes have some or all of their teeth extracted. While this can be devastating, partial or full dentures can be fabricated to restore an attractive smile, provide needed support for normal facial contours and reestablish a highly functional occlusion. A denture consists of natural-looking artificial teeth set in a supportive base. It may be fabricated to replace a small group of teeth, an entire upper arch, an entire lower arch, or used to restore both dental arches.
Digital Impressions
By using intra-oral optical scanning devices, patients’ need to have a messy conventional dental impression taken of their teeth is eliminated. Digital optical impressions enable the dentist to efficiently and effectively obtain an accurate computer-generated representation of their patient’s teeth and the surrounding tissues.
Dental Fillings
When dental fillings are the most common type of dental restoration used to replace sections of missing, damaged, or decayed teeth. While traditional dental materials like gold, amalgam, porcelain, and composite successfully restore teeth, recent advances in dental technology have made a wider and improved selection of restorative choices available. Some of the newest state-of-the-art filling materials, including ceramic and the latest composite materials, are strong and durable. They also offer aesthetically pleasing and natural-looking results.
Extractions
Sometimes it is necessary to extract a tooth. This can happen for a variety of reasons. Extractions are commonly performed in cases where a deciduous “baby” tooth is reluctant to fall out, a severely broken down and non-restorable tooth is present, or “wisdom tooth” is poorly positioned and unable to erupt into place fully.
Implant Dentistry
Losing a tooth due to injury, dental decay, or gum disease can happen. However, to avoid causing problems for the adjacent teeth and your overall dental health, it is important to replace the tooth that has been lost. This can be done in several ways, including fixed bridges, removable partial or full dentures, as well as a more recent procedure known as dental implants.
Invisalign
Invisalign® is a form of orthodontic treatment that works to correct many different types of malocclusions by using a series of clear plastic trays called aligners. In many cases, it provides an excellent treatment alternative to having traditional orthodontic braces and metal wires. Invisalign utilizes 3-D computer imaging technology to correct problematic bites or malocclusions by planning a complete sequence of custom-made, clear aligners.
Root Canals
Endodontics, or root canal therapy, is employed when the nerve supply to a tooth has been irreversibly affected by damage or decay. It is a way to prevent or help resolve a dental infection and save a natural tooth from extraction. A root canal is performed when enough healthy root and crown structure is remaining to restore form and function to the involved tooth eventually.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening or bleaching simply refers to any process that will make the teeth appear whiter. While there are many over the counter options for teeth whitening, the most effective and safest teeth whitening systems are the professional strength ones available at the dentist’s office. A dental professional whitening system offers a higher concentration of whitening components and delivers them to the teeth in the most efficient manner to achieve optimal results.
Veneers
If your teeth suffer from gaps, chips, stains, or discolorations, you may be a candidate for porcelain veneers, a highly effective and minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that can achieve beautiful results.
Porcelain veneers are thin facings custom-made of the highest quality ceramic materials that are designed to fit perfectly over the front of your teeth. One of the most conservative cosmetic treatments available, veneers can mask a host of dental imperfections to give you a smile that you have always wanted. Porcelain veneers enhance and improve the shape of your teeth, but they can also create an overall whiter and brighter smile.
