Bonding

The application of tooth-colored filling material (composite) to the teeth has been a dental technique for many years. Recent advances have increased the strength, durability, and longevity of these restorations. Bonding material can be molded and shaped to achieve outstanding results including tooth lightening, closing spaces between teeth, making teeth appear straighter, and repairing chips and cracks. When polished it gives the appearance of natural tooth structure.

Bridges

A Bridge is a custom device anchored to neighboring teeth that replaces one or more missing teeth.

When a lost tooth is replaced with bridgework, the teeth on either side of the missing one are prepared as crowns to serve as abutments to hold the prosthetic (replacement) tooth in place.

Crowns and bridges are most commonly prepared from high quality materials such as semiprecious or precious metals, porcelain, or a fused combination of the two. Aesthetics, function, and tissue compatibility are considered when selecting the material most suitable for you.

Crowns

Many restorations are fabricated using a metal lining covered with porcelain. These types of crowns are used because they are cheap and easy to place in the mouth. They are opaque or flat looking because they do not let light pass through as a natural tooth does. There is often a dark or gray line next to the gumline. We provide exclusively all porcelain-bonded restorations. When properly placed they are as strong, if not stronger than the porcelain covered metal crowns.
Notice the appearance of natural tooth again. Metal-free dentistry can restore your full dentition back to natural form and beauty.

Veeners

Of all the methods available today for changing and improving the look of your smile, veneers are among the most popular and successful with our patients. The process involves removing a small amount of tooth structure to make room for the veneers. The dental lab then fabricates the veneers from impressions. After placement, the veneers look like natural teeth.

Some advantages of porcelain veneers over bonding include increased longevity, and resistance to staining.

Smile Design

is a conservative, non-aggressive way to rejuvenate your smile. Veneers work well for tooth reshaping and resizing. Veneers are an attractive way to rejuvenate your smile because they achieve a very natural look with a very conservative tooth preparation (shaping). Very little natural tooth structure is removed when veneers are bonded into place and the virgin strength of the tooth is recaputred as well. We have found that this is the treatment of choice for smile enhancement if more than whitening is needed.

Teeth Whitening

or bleaching is one of the most popular areas of cosmetic dentistry. Even subtle changes in shading can make someone look years younger.
Several factors can contribute to the darkening of teeth, including the effects of age, certain foods and drinks, smoking, and medications.

We also feature the traditioal ZOOM tak-home bleaching system. Whether you achieve your smile by visiting our office or using it in your home, our systems are safe and effective and produce amazing results.

Non-Metal Fillings

Until recently, dental patients have been told that repairing teeth with white fillings was just for cosmetic purposes, and white fillings may not be as durable as the metal restorations. This philosophy is now passe.

With the modern technologies of dental adhesion, resins, lasers, and state-of-the-art ceramics, the new porcelain restorations are close to rivaling nature in strength, wear, function, and appearance.

There are now sixteen-year studies showing that with properly administered technique, these advanced restorations surpass traditional dentistry.

Full Mouth Restoration

involves restoring the teeth, bite, muscles and self-esteem back to a natural-looking and youthful-feeling condition.

Using computerized technology and an artistic eye, full mouth restoration may be the answer to many problems, such as broken-down restorations, heat-sensitive teeth, sore jaw muscles, and recurring headaches.
