Bridges
- Bridges help maintain the shape of your face, as well as
alleviating the stress in your bite by replacing missing
teeth.
Sometimes called a fixed partial
denture, a bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth,
looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth
may have been. The restoration can be made from gold, alloys,
porcelain or a combination of these materials and is bonded onto
surrounding teeth for support. Click here

Crown - You may need a crown to cover a tooth and restore it to
its normal shape and size. A crown can make your tooth stronger and
improve its appearance.
It can cover and support a tooth with a
large filling when there isn't enough tooth left. It can be used to
attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one
that's already broken. A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are
discolored or badly shaped. It's also used to cover a dental
implant. Click here

Dentures - If you’ve lost all of
your natural teeth, whether from periodontal disease, tooth decay or
injury, complete dentures can replace your missing teeth and your
smile. Replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your
health. Without support from the denture, facial muscles sag, making
a person look older. You’ll be able to eat and speak—things that
people often take for granted until their natural teeth are lost. Click here

Extractions - What
should you expect when you are scheduled for a tooth extraction?
Your dentist will numb the area to lessen any discomfort. After
the extraction, your dentist will advise you of what post extraction
regiment to follow, in most cases a small amount of bleeding is
normal. Click

Implants - Crowns and conventional bridges or dentures may
not be your only options when replacing missing teeth. For some
people, dental implants offer a smile that looks and feels very
natural. Surgically placed below the gums over a series of
appointments, implants fuse to the jawbone and serve as a base for
individual replacement teeth, bridges or a denture. Click here

Root Canal - Once upon a time, if you had a tooth
with a diseased nerve, you'd probably lose that tooth. Today, with a
special dental procedure called a root canal therapy you may save
that tooth. Inside each tooth is the pulp which provides nutrients
and nerves to the tooth, it runs like a thread down through the
root. When the pulp is diseased or injured, the pulp tissue dies. If
you don't remove it, your tooth gets infected and you could lose it.
After the dentist removes the pulp, the root canal is cleaned and
sealed off to protect it. Then your dentist places a crown over the
tooth to help make it stronger. Click
