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 for further information.
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

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 for further information.
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

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
