Porcelain
Veneers
Porcelain Veneers
are a fantastic way to repair or enhance the appearance of front
teeth. They can be used to whiten teeth, close spaces and
create a great smile. Using veneers, we can even perform
virtually "instant orthodontics" to straighten crooked
teeth and give you the bright smile you always wanted.

Bridges
These restorations, generally
made of porcelain or porcelain and gold, are used to replace missing teeth.
Bridges are supported by the teeth neighboring the missing tooth and are
permanently cemented.
Dental
implants are changing the way people live! They are designed to
provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel, and
function like
natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth
regains the ability
to eat virtually anything and can smile with
confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours
will be preserved.
What are Dental
Implants?
The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts which are inserted
into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors
act as tooth root substitutes. They are surgically placed into
the jawbone. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong
foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts are then attached
to the implant which protrude through the gums. These posts
provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.
Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone
deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.
Root Canal
Therapy
Root canal therapy
becomes necessary when there is very deep decay, a tooth fractures or
a tooth becomes infected. Using many of the latest techniques, root
canal is a highly successful treatment that can almost always be done
very comfortably.
TMJ
Disorder
TMJ
(temporomandibular joint) disorders
are a family of problems related to your complex jaw joint. If
you have had symptoms like pain or a "clicking" sound,
you'll be glad to know that these problems are more easily diagnosed
and treated than they were in the past. Since some types of TMJ
problems can lead to more serious conditions, early detection and
treatment are important.
No one treatment can resolve TMJ
disorders completely and treatment takes time to be effective.
Our oral surgeons can help you have a healthier and more comfortable
jaw.
