Cleaning

Regular dental visits help reduce tartar build-up, promote healthy gums and identify potential problems that can lead to unnecessary pain and expense.

Tooth Colored Fillings/ Composite Restorations

For a bright smile and natural looking teeth, a composite resin is a tooth-colored filling material filled with glass ionomers (silicon dioxide). Composites bond to the tooth to support the remaining tooth structure, which stabilizes and restores the tooth to near perfect condition. Tooth colored fillings are also used to replace unsightly silver fillings, leaving the tooth looking like it has never been touched.

Bonding

Ceramic bonded composites give you long-lasting, strong fillings that withstand staining.

Porcelain, Gold & All-Ceramic Crowns

A crown (or cap) is a restoration that covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, improving the appearance and function of an otherwise unstable tooth.

Preventive Sealants

A dental sealant is a thin resin film painted in the grooves (fissures) of molars and premolars. These fissures often predispose a tooth to decay. Sealants have been shown to be highly effective in the prevention of cavities not only in children, but also in older patients.

Invisalign Orthodontics

Invisalign is a clear plastic, removable retainer that applies pressure to teeth that need to be moved or realigned. The invisible way to straighten your teeth without unsightly braces and wire retainers.

Bite Guards

A bite guard is a clear plastic, removable appliance that fits over the biting surface of the teeth. Bite guards help prevent the damaging effects of nighttime grinding and clenching that can result in a sore jaw joint (TMJ), wear and chipping of teeth, shifting of teeth, gum and bone recession, headaches and neck tension.
