Comprehensive Dental Care The best way to preserve the health of your teeth and gums is to maintain a sensible oral hygiene regimen. This includes not only twice-daily brushings and routine flossing, but also regular dental examinations and professional cleanings. Many patients who first came to us for cosmetic work continue to make regular appointments with us for comprehensive care. We invite you to schedule an appointment for a comprehensive examination even if you feel your mouth is in perfect health.

Composite Fillings Unsightly, potentially dangerous mercury fillings are now things of the past. Our practice uses only tooth-colored, mercury-free fillings to repair teeth. These fillings, composed of resin, ceramic or porcelain, are bonded to your teeth and look much more natural and are more comfortable than their metal counterparts.

Crowns Also called caps, crowns fit over teeth to hide misshaping, misalignment, cracks, discoloration, or other imperfections.

Bridges Bridges are an excellent way to fill in missing-tooth gaps with natural-looking artificial teeth. They can also correct speaking and chewing problems, and decrease strains felt when biting. Bridges can only be removed by a dentist (so they are semi-permanent), but they are comfortable, discreet, and known to strengthen existing teeth. To find out if bridges are right for you, please contact us today.

Dental Implants Dental implants attach artificial teeth below the gum line. An anchor secures the implant in place and allows the bone and gums to grow around it. Because dental implants require surgery, they work well only for candidates with sufficient bone and healthy gums. For more information about dental implants, please contact us today.
