General Dentistry

When you go to visit out office, you hope for an uneventful experience that consists of nothing more than a thorough cleaning and a reminder to always brush and floss. This is often the case if your oral health is in excellent condition without such problems as gum disease or misaligned teeth. If there are dental issues to resolve, however, our dentists will make use of a wide variety of tools and procedures to quickly and painlessly get the job done.

Diagnostic Procedures

Our dentist use x-rays to provide a more nuanced examination of your mouth. X-rays offer one of the best tools for monitoring oral health and setting a plan for damage prevention. X-rays allow the doctor to identify cavities, examine the roots, detect periodontal disease, and track the status of growing teeth. Learn More …

Treating Tooth Decay and Damage

Tooth decay and damage are common problems, and your dentist can offer a variety of procedures to address these problems, depending on their nature and severity. A root canal is one of the most popular solutions. With a root canal, infected tissue is removed from within the root chamber and replaced with antibacterial filling. The tooth is then capped to protect it from further damage. If the tooth decay is less severe, simple filling may be done. Learn more …

Tooth Replacement and Restoration

In cases of severe damage, dentists may rely on replacements to maintain the integrity of your smile. These include dentures, which replace all or part of your teeth with artificial substitutes. Dental bridges offer an alternative, anchoring replacement teeth to healthy and existing teeth. Dental implants, however, are considered the most effective teeth replacement. Learn more …

Treating Gum Disease

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges, dental implants, and partial dentures are used to replace missing teeth that would otherwise adversely affect your mouth. The negative effects of one or more missing teeth can include the shifting of other teeth to accommodate for the open space, a change in the bite that may affect your ability to eat, a speech impediment, and an increased risk for periodontal disease and tooth decay.

Removable Partial and Complete Dentures

Partial Dentures are another option to replace a missing tooth.  A removable partial denture (RPD) places a tooth or multiple teeth on a “retainer” to provide a stable chewing surface and to prevent other teeth from moving.

To say that missing teeth are no fun is an understatement. Apart from the impact it can have on a person’s self-esteem, missing teeth can significantly reduce the effectiveness of basic actions such as chewing and speaking. Even worse, missing teeth can trigger more teeth to fall out over time.  Learn more …
