Restorative Dentistry
Tooth-colored fillings
​
Tooth-colored fillings are made out of composite materials that blend with your tooth making it blend with your natural tooth structure. Composite fillings can bond directly to the tooth which means that less tooth is removed to place the filling.
​
Tooth colored crowns
​
Dental crowns restore damaged or decayed teeth and protect them for years to come. Most crowns are all-porcelain or a white metal called zirconia which provide a natural look.
​
Fixed bridges
​
Dental bridges are a great alternative to removable partial dentures. A fixed dental bridge is permanently cemented to the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth. So, you don't have to worry about using messy denture adhesive or have to be embarrassed about having to remove your teeth. Fixed dental bridges can also be used with implants which provides a natural look and feel to your smile.
Periodontal care
Do your gums bleed when you floss? Do you have red or swollen gums? Gum disease is an infection that eats away at the bone and gums around your teeth.
Patients who have an even greater risk of gum disease are those that smoke, are diabetic, have heart disease, history of a stroke, family history or are pregnant.
