Dental
Fillings |
 |
|
Today's
Dental Fillings are more than the typical metal fillings of our
youth. dental fillings are now color matched to the rest of your
teeth for a great smile.

Dental
Crowns |
|
|
Grinding your teeth, an improper bite, age, fillings and tooth decay
can all be contributing factors in the wearing down, cracking or breakage
of your teeth. Dental Crowns cover the entire visible surface of your
affected tooth and add strength, durability and tooth stability. |

Dental
Caps |
 |
|
Many of us find ourselves with teeth that are no longer structurally
sound. root canals, lost fillings, decay below a filling, chipping
and cracking of the enamel are things that may lead to large scale
defects in a tooth's surface. When the entire surface of the tooth
is a problem, but the root system is intact, a cap might be appropriate
for you |

Root Canals |
 |
|
Many of us have heard the comparisons of painful things to the root
canal procedure. it's not that bad. There are tiny canals within your
tooth that may become infected. This leads to the pulp inside your
tooth also becoming diseased. Either your dentist or an endodontist
to remove any infection performs the root canal procedure. The canals
are then filled and the tooth receives either a filling or a crown.
Crowns are more common in most cases as they add strength to the tooth
itself. The procedure itself takes one to two visits. |

Accelerated
Orthodontics |
 |
|
To change your smile by changing the appearance of your front teeth
you may consider porcelain veneers, bonding, crowns or traditional
braces. accelerated orthodontics is another option for you and your
cosmetic dentist to consider. Accelerated orthodontics is relatively
new way to move teeth faster than traditional braces. It can be applied
in most cases where orthodontics is the chosen solution. While traditional
braces take anywhere from one to three years to give you a great smile,
accelerated orthodontics can give you a great smile in only three
to eight months in most cases.

Cosmetic
Gum Surgery |
 |
|
Your gum tissue is like a frame that provides form and shape to the
top of your tooth. A less than attractive smile results when the integrity
of the gum is compromised or the actual gum between your teeth becomes
weak. Usually due to poor hygiene (gum disease), you actually begin
to lose gum tissue. Cosmetic dentistry provides many cosmetic solutions
such as composite resin bonding, crowns, and veneers to create a great
smile. |

Dental Bridges |
 |
|
A dental bridge is a false tooth, known as a pontic, which is fused
between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a missing
tooth. The two crowns holding it in place are attached onto your teeth
on each side of the false tooth. This is known as a fixed bridge.
This procedure is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Fixed
bridges cannot be taken out of your mouth as you might do with removable
partial dentures.
In
areas of your mouth that are under less stress, such as your front
teeth, a cantilever bridge may be used. Cantilever bridges are used
when there are teeth on only one side of the open space. Bridges
can reduce your risk of gum disease, help correct some bite issues
and even improve your speech. Bridges require your commitment to
serious oral hygiene, but will last as many ten years or more.

Tooth Contouring and Reshaping |
 |
|
Tooth
reshaping, or contouring, is one of few instant treatments now available
in cosmetic dentistry. Dental reshaping and contouring is a procedure
to correct crooked teeth, chipped teeth, cracked teeth or even overlapping
teeth in just one session.
The
dental contouring procedure can even be a substitute for braces
under certain circumstances. It is also a procedure of subtle changes.
A few millimeters of reduction and a few millimeters of tooth-colored
laminate can create a beautiful smile when performed by a cosmetic
dentist, with no discomfort to you. Tooth reshaping, or dental contouring,
is commonly used to alter the length, shape or position of your
teeth.

Dentures |
 |
|
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth typically made
out of an acrylic resin which at times incorporate porcelain or metal
for additional structural support. There are two main types of dentures.
Both complete dentures and partial dentures are finely crafted, custom-fitted.
If you properly maintain your dentures they will appear natural and
provide a perfect smile. Additionally, dentures help strengthen muscles
controlling your expressions that require the support of your teeth,
rid you of pronunciation problems caused by missing teeth and aid
with chewing. |
