Cosmetic Dentistry

Several techniques can be employed to give you that bright beautiful smile you’ve always wanted including, tooth whitening and veneers. Instant minor tooth straightening can be accomplished with porcelain or composite bonded to your natural teeth.

ZOOM! Whitening

Your smile is important. It’s one of the first things you notice when you meet someone. A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful – it can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression Your lifestyle and the aging process can stain and darken your teeth. Many things we do on a regular basis can contribute to stained teeth, such as drinking coffee, tea, cola and red wine or smoking. Whitening can get your smile looking its best. Non-professional procedures and clinically unproven teeth whitening tips can often lead to unsatisfactory results, you should look for a whitening procedure that is:

• Fast and convenient
• Long lasting
• Low sensitivity
• Proven to be safe and effective
• Performed by a Dental Professional

Dentures

Dentures and partial dentures are done here at the office as well as implant supported dentures.

Root Canal Treatment

The most common cause of a tooth ache is an infected or “dead” nerve inside the tooth. Root canal therapy is the best treatment to remove the infection and pain. Most root canals can be completed in our office, pain free.

Bone Grafting

Sometimes when a dental implant is placed, it is necessary to build up the bone in the area to insure success. The procedure of building up the bone is known as Bone Grafting. Bone grafting is a very common procedure in dentistry and it is used quite a bit for dental implants and in periodontal procedures around natural teeth. In order to do bone grafting, we need a source of bone to place in the site. The bone that we use can be one of three types. The best bone is bone that is taken from the patient that we are working on. This bone can be taken from other areas of the mouth or collected in our suction apparatus as we drill into the bone to prepare the sites for dental implants. Occasionally this bone is taken from areas outside the mouth, such as the hip. When bone is taken from the hip, it is usually done in the hospital by an orthopedic surgeon and transferred to the dentist doing the implant procedure in the OR.

Porcelain & Composite Veneers

Veneers are a way to compliment natural surface of the dentition by bonding a material to the enamel of the tooth. Often times this can be accomplished without removal of any natural structure, leaving the natural tooth undamaged by the procedure.
