Dental Bridges
Bridges are dental appliances that are designed to “bridge” a gap between teeth, due to a missing tooth or multiple teeth. This appliance is non-removable. Reasons you may need a dental bridge:
- Fill the gaps of missing teeth
- Prevent your teeth from shifting
- Restore a functional bite
- Retain your natural face shape
- Enhance your smile
Dental Crowns
Crowns, or caps, are customized dental devices that are designed to cover the surface of a tooth. This device helps restore the shape and size of teeth. Reasons that you may need a dental crown include:
- Broken tooth
- Decaying tooth
- Fractured fillings
- Oversized fillings
- Root canal preparation
- Cosmetic smile enhancement
Dentures & Partials
Dentures and partials are both removable devices, designed to restore function and appearance. Dentures are used when you are missing all of your teeth. Whereas partials are used when you are only missing some of your teeth.
Tooth Fillings
Tooth colored fillings are applied to decaying, cracked, fractured, or slightly damaged teeth. We begin by removing the affected portion, then filling that area of the tooth. Since all of our fillings are tooth colored, this is a quick and aesthetically pleasing solution.
Dental Implants
There are many cases where dental implants are a great solution, as they can be cosmetic or restorative. When properly cared for, dental implants are durable enough to last a lifetime. Designed to replace missing teeth, dental implants can also be used as support for crowns, bridges, and dentures.
Endodontics: Root Canal Therapy
Endodontics, or root canal therapy, is associated with treating the inner nerve of a teeth. An infected or decaying nerve can cause sensitivity to pressure and/or temperature. With that said, in some cases, there are no symptoms at all. If left untreated the tooth will continue to decay, an abscess will form, and the infection could spread. Allow our specialists to evaluate the area and restore the tooth.
