Dental Fillings

Dental fillings, also known as cavity fillings, are materials that fill out small cracks or cavities on the teeth. A dental cavity is a small dental decay on the enamel of the teeth because of excess plaque accumulation and bacterial infiltration. During a tooth filling, the dentist removes the decayed parts of the teeth and seals the cavity with composite resin, metallic materials, or other materials. We provide tooth-colored, composite resin fillings that look indistinguishable from your natural tooth surface. Dental fillings are also suitable as restorations for small cracks.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped and tooth-colored caps attached to your teeth to enhance their structural integrity. The dentist shaves the external surface of your teeth and files them down to small stubs that can receive the dental crown. You may need dental crowns to protect weakened teeth after a root canal, fix a chipped or cracked tooth, or cover a dental implant to replace a missing tooth. We offer porcelain or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns because they are highly durable and look indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a series of fake teeth (pontics) supported by crowns or implants on one or both sides. Dental bridges come in numerous types — traditional dental bridges, cantilever dental bridges, maryland dental bridges, and implant-supported bridges. A traditional dental bridge consists of a series of fake teeth supported by abutment teeth on both sides of the gap of missing teeth. Meanwhile, an implant-supported bridge is a series of fake teeth supported on two implants. Dental bridges can replace a series of one or more missing teeth.

Root Canal

A root canal is a restorative procedure for patients with severe dental cavities. If the bacterial infection goes past the enamel and into the pulp chamber at the center of the tooth, the only way to save your tooth is a root canal. During root canal therapy, the dentist drills an access hole into the infected tooth to remove all the infected pulp tissues, blood vessels, and nerves. The root canal is cleansed and disinfected, following which it’s sealed with gutta-percha. The dentist also provides a crown to protect the weakened tooth after a root canal. 

Dentures

A denture is a type of removable appliance that can replace several or all of your missing teeth. A partial denture consists of a series of fake teeth corresponding to the locations of your missing teeth, and a complete denture is a full set of fake teeth. The teeth are usually supported on a gum-colored base or at the back of the natural teeth. Dentures are removable appliances, so you need to take them off while brushing. Dentures are a low-cost means of replacing all your missing teeth without surgery.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom tooth removal is a procedure that involves the surgical extraction of damaged, diseased, or infected wisdom teeth. The wisdom teeth are the final set of molars to erupt in your late teens or early twenties. If they erupt incorrectly or remain stuck under the gum line, they can damage the surrounding teeth, increase the risk of gum disease, and cause misalignment problems. Our dentists perform wisdom tooth removal with IV sedation to ensure a physically and emotionally comfortable experience. IV sedation for wisdom teeth removal ensures you feel calm and peaceful during the procedure.

Dental Implants

A dental implant is a titanium or ceramic screw that replaces the root structure of your missing tooth. The dental implant specialist drills the implant into the jawbone underneath the empty socket of your missing tooth. Your body initiates osseointegration, a process wherein the jawbone tissues fuse with the implant surface, making it a firmly rooted part of your dental anatomy. The dental implant provides a stable base for dental implant restoration, such as a dental crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
