FILLINGS
Most people need a filling at one time or another. It's one of the most
common restorations
performed on damaged teeth or when a tooth is partially decayed or chipped.
A filling is
just what it sounds like; it fills the damaged space in the tooth and
prevents further decay or
breakdown from advancing.
The natural looking tooth colored or “white” fillings are
a durable and beautiful alternative
to the regular mercury silver fillings, which are unsightly and turn
black as they age.
CROWNS
Crowns are dental restorations also known as "caps," made of natural looking porcelain that
fit over the teeth. Crowns may be necessary because of broken fillings, fractures or chips,
or sensitive teeth. Crowns are also used to improve the appearance of natural teeth that are
malformed, malpositioned or discolored.
Attention to detail is considered whether the crowns are all porcelain or an underlying
metal substructure is required for strength and stability.
BRIDGE
A bridge is a fixed appliance designed to replace one or more missing teeth in the most
natural looking way possible. It is the treatment of choice if you have gaps from lost teeth
and want to avoid a removable appliance. Just like crowns, bridges are made of natural
looking porcelain, and have a comfortable feeling in your mouth. Bridges can replace
posterior teeth as well as front teeth.
IMPLANTS
If you are missing one or more teeth, and would like to restore your ability to smile, speak
and eat with comfort and confidence, then dental implants may be right for you.
Dental implants are a safe and medically proven method of replacing single or multiple
missing teeth.
Dental implants are a biologically compatible metal posts that are surgically placed in your
jaw bone underneath your gums. During a healing period the bone fuses to the implant post.
After which a crown or replacement tooth is attached to this implant post resembling your
natural tooth both in appearance as well as in function.
TOOTH WHITENING
Aging, coffee or tea, smoking, antibiotics, old restorations, or trauma may discolor teeth.
Tooth whitening is a bleaching process that safely removes the discolorations of tooth
enamel. The degree of whitening will vary from individual to individual, depending on the
cause of the discoloration.
VENEERS
Porcelain veneers are one of the primary tools in cosmetic dentistry.
They are paper-thin,
custom made shells of porcelain, which are bonded onto the front and
side surfaces of your
tooth.
If you ever wished you could radically redesign your smile, veneers
could just be the
solution for your teeth. Veneers can be used to solve common issues
like:
• Cracked or chipped teeth
• Discolored teeth
• Some mal-positioned teeth
INLAYS AND ONLAYS
An inlay is an indirect restoration (filling) consisting of a solid
substance fitted to a cavity
in a tooth and cemented into place. An onlay is the same as an inlay,
except that it extends
to replace a cusp.
These types of bonds are usually made of porcelain, color-matched to
replicate your
existing teeth, providing a durable and stain resistant solution to
your problem.
The result in your mouth could be one with no more dark shadows, but
a bright, healthy
smile instead.

ROOT CANAL
Root canal treatment is a routine dental procedure which is needed when
the blood or
nerve supply of a tooth (called the pulp) becomes infected due to tooth
decay or injury.
If the pulp becomes infected, the infection could spread throughout
the root system of
the tooth and cause an abscess. This can be very painful and the tooth
may need to be
extracted. Root canal treatment can prevent the spread of infection
and save the tooth
TMJ DISORDER
Temporomandibular Joint disorders are a group of complex problems of
the jaw joint, also
refered to as myofacial pain dysfunction and Costen's syndrome. Because
muscles and
joints work together, a problem with either one can lead to stiffness,
headaches, ear pain,

dental and physical health isn't compromised
