Restorative Dentistry (white fillings, porcelain crowns and bridges)

When seriously decayed, weakened, broken or missing teeth cause pain or threaten your smile, we can help.

We use only the most current, up-to-date techniques such as fillings, bonding, crowns, onlays, inlays and bridges; our full and partial dentures will restore your beautiful, natural-looking smile.

Fillings: For years, silver (amalgam) fillings were used most often to fill decayed spots on the teeth. However, modern methods and materials offer other alternatives which often are more pleasing and natural looking - like composite.

Bonding: This technique uses tooth colored fillings and allows your teeth to look natural when you laugh & smile.  Bonding blends well with the rest of your teeth.

Crowns: Most often dental crowns are called “caps” and are used to rebuild broken or decayed teeth and improve the appearance of one or more teeth. Made of porcelain, these crowns fully cover each tooth to the gum line.

Bridges: If you are missing teeth, we may suggest a dental bridge to fill the gap.  A dental bridge is made up of one or more false teeth fused between two or more of your surrounding teeth to fill in the area left by missing teeth.  Made of porcelain, bridges are crafted to match the color of your natural teeth and are cemented in place.

Using bridges also helps to maintain a more youthful shape of your face by preventing that sunken-in appearance caused by missing teeth. However, good oral hygiene is necessary to preserve the health of your gums beneath the bridges, in order to protect your new and improved smile for your lifetime.

Partials: If you are missing one or more teeth removable partial dentures may be the right solution for you and your budget.  A custom-made, partial denture is one or more porcelain replacement tooth attached to a framework.   We will work to properly fit your partial so that it is the most comfortable fit for your mouth.

Dentures: If you have lost all of your teeth due to disease or neglect, a complete set of dentures provides a chewing surface as well as a new beautiful, natural-looking smile.
