Amalgams/Mercury Fillings-- Why? - There's some debate in the dental industry regarding the pros and cons of using silver fillings, or dental amalgams, to fill cavities. At our office, we exclusively use composite resins for several reasons.

Crowns - If you’re self-conscious about your smile due to cracked, broken, decayed, or worn teeth, we can bring back your healthy, natural-looking smile with dental crowns.

DIAGNOdent: Laser Reflection Finds Imperfection—Aids in Correction - One of the most important things we do for our patients is to identify and fill cavities. Enter DIAGNOdent by KaVo: a revolutionary, thorough means of detecting cavities.

Digital X-Rays - See through dental x-rays concerns and discover the importance of this procedure.

Fixed Bridges - If you’ve lost teeth due to accident, injury, or gum disease, we can create a permanent 'bridge' appliance to replace the missing teeth.

Gum Disease: Serious But Treatable - Although gum disease is terribly pervasive, it's also preventable. Conservative estimates report that up to 80% of people unknowingly have some amount of chronic gum disease.

Dental Implants - Permanent, Secure Tooth Replacements - When people lose permanent teeth due to accident, injury, disease or extraction, dental implants can be a secure, functional replacement option.

Invisalign - If you want straighter teeth without bulky metal braces, consider Invisalign®. A series of clear, removable aligners will reposition your teeth without the hassle and pain of traditional orthodontia.

Porcelain Veneers - Porcelain veneers can often provide people who have chipped, stained, discolored, unevenly spaced, or even slightly crooked front teeth with a completely new-looking smile in just a few simple appointments.

TMJ Disorder - TMJ disorder or TMD can cause a wide variety of mild to severe symptoms, from jaw clicking and minor discomfort to sharp pain in your temple, ear, jaw and teeth; it can also "lock" your jaw open or shut, or dislocate the jaw altogether.

Teeth Whitening - Thankfully, you don’t have to live with discolored or dingy colored teeth. If you would like a whiter, brighter smile, talk to your dentist about teeth whitening.
