Crowns
A crown is a permanent tooth-shaped restoration that fits over the original
tooth to restore it to its natural shape, size and strength. A crown may
be needed for a tooth that is badly decayed, broken, severely worn or
cracked. They are made of a variety of different materials such as gold
alloy, porcelain fused to metal or all ceramic.

Bridges
A bridge is a permanent restoration that is commonly used to replace
missing teeth. The bridge spans the gap created by one or more missing
teeth. It can help correct bite issues or jaw problems, and improve chewing
function.
Implants
A titanium fixture is placed into the jaw bone and acts as a base for
a false tooth or set of teeth. Implants offer stability because they fuse
to your bone. Integration of the implants into your jaw also helps your
replacement teeth feel more natural and secure. Implants can replace single
teeth, bridges, partials or dentures.

Whitening
It is natural for teeth to darken over time due to factors such as age,
coffee, tea, tobacco and soda. Restoring your natural white smile may
be accomplished utilizing an at-home whitening product which is supervised
in-office. A gel filled custom-formed plastic tray is fitted over a patient’s
teeth and worn certain prescribed hours during the day.
Composite Bonding
Bonding is a cosmetic dentistry technique used for, chips, gaps, discoloration
and defects in teeth. A composite resin material is placed on the tooth
and shaped to cover the damaged area or fill a gap, and bonded in place.

Veneers
A veneer is a cosmetic dental treatment in which a wafer-thin shell of
porcelain is bonded onto the front side of a tooth. They are used to treat
broken or chipped teeth, spaces between teeth, and discolored and misaligned
teeth. Veneers resist staining and create natural looking teeth.
Dentures and Partials
A denture is a removable replacement for patients who have lost their
natural teeth. The appliance is made of acrylic and may allow a patient
better chewing abilities and enhanced aesthetics. A removable partial
denture is for a patient that is missing only some of their teeth. This
acrylic resin appliance has a metal framework.
