Patient Education

We want all of our patients to be educated in good oral hygiene and maintenance. Our hygienists will sit down with you and detail a program that suits your individual needs. We use oral vision cameras so you are able to see what we see and understand why it is important to take good care of your teeth and gums.

Patient Comfort

Relax in our reception area while reading a magazine by the fireplace, or watch our saltwater friends in their busy environment. Our childrens' corner has games and books or they can relax in our beanbags while they watch a movie. All of our operatories are equipped with televisions and headphones and each room has it's own view.

Tooth-colored Fillings

Studies show that over ninety percent of silver fillings that have been in the mouth for fifteen years or more, have decay underneath them. We can remove those old fillings and replace them with a tooth-colored composite material that is bonded to the tooth. These fillings look more natural and can be more conservative than the old "silver" or amalgam fillings that were placed in the past.

Crowns

If a tooth is broken, cracked, has a large filling, or is esthetically displeasing, it can be restored with a crown. A crown (also known as a cap), covers the entire tooth to prevent any more breakage and to seal the tooth. Because of advancing technology, we are able to complete our crowns in only one appointment with CEREC 3D.®
Before and After

Root Canal Treatment

When the nerve inside the tooth becomes infected, a root canal would be the treatment of choice to save the tooth. During this procedure the nerve is removed. The space where the nerve was is cleaned, sealed, and a filling material is placed. This procedure can usually be done in one appointment. After a tooth has had root canal treatment the tooth can become weakened so a crown should be placed to prevent further breakage.


Missing Teeth

In the event that a tooth or teeth is missing, there are a few options to replace them.

• Implants
• Bridges
• Partial or Complete Dentures

Tooth Whitening

Whether it be from age or our everyday habits, our teeth can become discolored and stained. With our in-office whitening system we can achieve an average of 6-10 shades lighter in approximately two hours. We also offer take-home bleaching which utilizes trays and are worn for one to two hour periods for up to two weeks.
