Crowns
Dental crowns, also known as dental caps, cover damaged or discolored teeth. Crowns cover the entire tooth, starting at the gum line. They are usually made of gold, porcelain, or a combination of both. Dentists recommend crowns to protect or strengthen weakened teeth, or to restore a disfigured tooth to its original shape. There are three types of crowns: metal, ceramic or porcelain fused to metal (PFM). Metal crowns are used mainly on the back teeth, and are made of gold alloy, palladium, nickel alloy or chromium alloy.
Ceramic crowns are made with no metal and are esthetically more pleasing.
Hygiene
Preventative care is an integral part of our practice. Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the most important things you can do for your teeth and gums. Healthy teeth not only enable you to look and feel good, they make it possible to eat and speak properly. Good oral health is important to your overall well-being. Promoting health through preventative dentistry and educating our patients on good oral hygiene is the heart of our practice. Thorough examinations and professional cleanings allow us to identify problem areas and stop periodontal disease.
TMJ Treatment
If you regularly suffer from symptoms such as migraines, jaw pain, sinus problems, earaches, ringing in the ears, dizziness or teeth grinding and clenching, neuromuscular dentistry could very likely put an end to your pain.

Implants
Dental implants are an amazing solution for many people today. Implants can replace everything an individual has lost - a beautiful smile, the ability to laugh and eat comfortably and the self-confidence that comes from having a healthy smile.
An implant is a man-made replacement for the natural root of the tooth. It functions exactly in the same manner as natural root - even bonding naturally with the jawbone. This simple, permanent solution can transform how you feel about your smile - giving you back your confidence as well as an incredible, natural and functional smile.
Non-Metal Fillings
If your teeth are filled with dark metal amalgam fillings, your smile is aging your appearance. Your discolored teeth may also cause embarrassment. Of the most concern, however, is the fact that metal fillings can also damage teeth. Amalgams expand with heat and contract with cold. This movement weakens the tooth wall, leading to fractures and allowing bacteria to enter and cause decay. Amalgam fillings contain mercury that may have negative long-term health effects. Tooth-colored composite fillings are a safer, stronger, more attractive and more enduring alternative to metal. They conservatively restore your teeth to strength and your smile to beauty.
Bridges
Achieving a natural looking and realistic smile after tooth loss is possible with dental bridges. Dental bridges are one method used by dentists to fill a gap created by a missing tooth (or teeth). Depending on the dental bridge type youchoose, the procedure and cost will vary. If you have questions about dental bridges, please read on for more dental bridge work info.
A dental bridge is made up of two dental crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap and a false tooth in between. Natural teeth, dental implants, or a combination of natural teeth and dental implants can be used to support the bridge. The bridge type you choose will depend on the condition of your smile and the cosmetic results you desire. Whether you are looking for a temporary or permanent tooth loss solution, there is a dental bridge ideally suited for your needs.
