When you think of basic dental care, you probably think of fillings. Composite restoration is more than a filling; it’s about restoring the tooth to the closest version of its original structure as possible. Think of it as a more exact, targeted, and precise form of dental repair.
Sometimes you need a little more than a composite restoration. Crowns and bridges both function as a way to strengthen your teeth and restore their appearance. Crowns cover individual teeth that are beyond composite intervention. In comparison, a bridge includes an artificial tooth fused to a crown on each side for durability and support. Both are designed to fit your unique mouth and bite.
Fine-tuning your smile doesn’t have to be hard. In addition to natural-looking composite restoration (fillings), we offer most cosmetic dental services, including teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and bonding.
Beyond looking and feeling as close to natural as you can get with complete tooth extraction and replacement, dental implants offer the most comprehensive & permanent remedy for teeth that are beyond saving. The implant’s artificial “root” is placed into the jaw and stimulates natural bone growth for a powerful bond. Probably not high on your list of things to do, but sometimes the best course of action. Extractions don’t get a lot of love, but they serve an important purpose. Extractions can reduce pain, allow healing, and set the stage for critical next steps like bridges and implants.
Botox isn’t just for beauty! It can also be used to benefit your dental health. If you have TMJ disorder or bruxism, you may know the pain of an aching jaw all too well. Disorders related to the joints in your jaw and teeth grinding can result in jaw pain and discomfort. Therapeutic dental Botox offers relief for pain in the head that results from tension in the muscles of the face, head, and neck. Headaches are the result of bite issues like TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome). Aesthetic dentistry cases can benefit from the use of Botox. For example, helping patients avoid surgical treatments. Botox is also of help for denture patients who can’t adjust to new dentures. Dentists are some of the most reliable medical professionals to administer Botox injections because they already specialize in the head, jaw, and smile. They have extensive knowledge of facial anatomy and are trained to administer injections in a way that is safe and effective. So you can rest assured that you’re in good hands!
Lookout! It’s the infamous root canal! When we suggest a root canal, we are doing so as a conservative way to treat and salvage a tooth that’s in very rough shape. It’s not the process of decades ago, and it’s much less intense and invasive than you might imagine. We use microdentistry to ensure an exact and thorough removal of the nerve and reshaping of the remaining tooth to reduce pain and inflammation and prepare your mouth for restoration and return to optimal functioning.
We can help you determine if clear aligners are a good fit for you and design a tailored plan to achieve the smile of your dreams with custom aligners from Invisalign. Most patients need a year or less of treatment before achieving their desired results. We hang with you for the whole journey, so you know you’re getting the best advice and oversight possible while taking advantage of the ease and convenience of clear aligners.
