Bridges - A dental bridge is an artificial tooth held in place by a crown on either side. Bridges are used to fill the gap left by a missing tooth. Dental bridges are permanent and can last ten years or more with proper care.

Crowns - A dental crown, also known as a cap, covers the outer surface of a tooth. Crowns may be used to restore the shape of a tooth, provide strength to a tooth that has been cracked or damaged or create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Crowns may be made from porcelain, ceramic, gold or a combination of materials.

Dentures - This includes partial and complete dentures.  Dentures are created and adjusted over several appointments to obtain the best possible results.

Extractions - Teeth may need to be removed (extracted) for one of several reasons, including severe decay and overcrowding. Often, teeth are removed to allow more room for the remaining teeth to be straightened through orthodontics.

Pain Management - We offer pain management using various medications to ensure that you do not feel pain or discomfort during or after treatment.

Root Canal Therapy - Root canal therapy is performed to remove an infection that develops at the center of a tooth as a result of decay. The infected area, known as the pulp chamber, contains the tooth’s nerve tissue. When this area becomes infected, the bacteria and infected nerve tissue must be removed. The tooth is then filled with a sterile material and sealed to prevent a recurring infection.

Sealants - Sealants are placed on teeth as protection from cavities and decay. Children and individuals with deep and narrow grooves in their teeth are the best candidates for dental sealants. Sealants can last from a few to several years.
