PORCELAIN VENEERS

We are proud to offer porcelain veneers as an option to help you achieve a healthier looking, more beautiful smile. Veneers are thin porcelain shells that bond directly to the front of your teeth, covering stains, chips, and other imperfections. Because they are custom designed to match the size and color of your surrounding teeth, the results are completely natural looking and virtually undetectable to others. In addition, they are extremely comfortable and can even help correct a variety of bite problems, ultimately restoring both beauty and function.

One of the primary advantages of porcelain veneers is their resilience. The porcelain material is strong, durable, and highly stain resistant. With proper care, your veneers will give you a flawless, confident smile for many years to come.

PORCELAIN CROWNS

Porcelain crowns – or "caps," as they are sometimes called – are an excellent way to repair and strengthen badly damaged teeth. Like veneers, they dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth; however, unlike veneers, they cover the entire surface area of the tooth, helping to prevent weaker teeth from cracking or breaking. By strengthening these weaker teeth, they effectively reduce or eliminate pain, sensitivity, and difficulty with chewing and speaking. They are also commonly used to keep errant fillings in place. Whatever else their function, they will mask imperfections in the teeth, giving you a more pleasing, attractive smile.

COSMETIC BONDING

A fast, effective alternative to veneers and crowns, dental bonding produces exceptional results in as little as a single office visit. During the procedure, we place a strong tooth-colored resin material onto your tooth, sculpting and polishing it until it is indistinguishable from your surrounding natural teeth. When exposed to a high-intensity ultraviolet light, the resin hardens, and the procedure is complete. The bonding material, while not as durable or stain resistant as the porcelain used in veneers and crowns, will endure for years with proper care. In any event, the immediate and visually stunning results make dental bonding ideal for many patients.

TOOTH-COLORED FILLINGS

Tooth-colored fillings have always presented a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional silver or amalgam fillings. However, due to evolving technology, they are now also stronger and more durable than their metallic counterparts. Indeed, a small filling may last a lifetime without ever requiring repair, while larger fillings should last for many years with appropriate care. Plus, tooth-colored fillings feel and function more like your natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with increased confidence and comfort.

If you would like to schedule a consultation to find out if tooth-colored fillings are the best option for you, please contact our office today. We are always pleased and grateful to welcome new patients to our practice.

INLAYS AND ONLAYS

Porcelain inlays and onlays are an excellent conservative solution to cavity pain, reduced chewing strength, and general degeneration of the back teeth. Virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, inlays and onlays discreetly restore teeth to an optimal state of health. They resemble natural teeth so closely that only you will know the truth.

PORCELAIN BRIDGES

As its name implies, a porcelain dental bridge literally bridges the gap where a tooth is missing. The bridge consists of an artificial tooth/teeth and two/or more porcelain crowns, on either side of the gap. We customize the bridge to fit snugly and comfortably in your mouth, fixing it into place so that it cannot fall out or be removed by hand. The results are remarkably natural looking and extremely strong, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with full confidence.

FULL DENTURES

Dentures are an excellent option for people who have lost all their teeth. Precisely designed and molded to fit one's mouth, full dentures slide over the gums and are held in place with strong cheek and mouth muscles. They allow for comfortable chewing and keep the mouth and its surrounding facial features in proper alignment. To learn more about full dentures, please contact us today.

PARTIAL DENTURES

Partial or removable dentures fill gaps left by missing teeth. Partial dentures are held in place with metal clasps or precision devices (tooth-colored, discreet clasps) that are attached to natural teeth. Usually made of resin or metal, partial dentures allow more comfortable and effective chewing, improve speech, and prevent sagging of the cheeks and lips. To find out if partial dentures are right for you, please contact our practice today.

DENTAL IMPLANTS

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is permanently placed into your jaw. We then fix an artificial tooth or bridge onto the implant, allowing you to regain the full function and feel of the missing tooth. These implants can also be used to support a full set of dentures, making chewing and speaking significantly easier.

If you would like to schedule a consultation to find out if dental implants are the best option for you, please contact our office today. We are always pleased and grateful to welcome new patients to our practice.

INVISALIGN

In order to achieve a more beautiful smile, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move the teeth. Patient wears a set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss. As we replace each set of aligners with the next in the series, patient's teeth will gradually move until they reach the position we have prescribed for the patient. The average treatment time is about a year.
