General Treatments

White Restorations

Most people have fillings of one sort or another in their mouths.

Today, fillings can be natural looking. Many people are more conscious about the way they look, so they do not want silver fillings that are visible when they laugh or smile.

White fillings can also be used to make small cosmetic improvements to your teeth. This process is known as dental bonding. Dental bonding treats conditions such as:

Crowns and bridges

A dental crown is a cemented cap that covers your tooth or implant. Crowns are used to fix broken, discolored, or otherwise damaged teeth. Not only does this improve the appearance of your smile, a crown restores function to your tooth.

Non-removable bridges are multiple connected crowns used to replace one or more missing teeth.

Dentures

Removable dentures serve to replace missing teeth. Partial dentures replace missing teeth by using your natural teeth for support. Complete dentures are used to restore function and appearance when all teeth are missing. Whether complete or partial, dentures work by fitting over the bone ridge in such a way as to deliver the same appearance and function as your natural teeth. All dentures can greatly benefit from the support of dental implants.

Root canal treatment

People often associate root canals with pain. In actuality, pain often comes from the original infection itself and not the treatment. Root canals relieve the pain you are experiencing from a serious dental issue.

A root canal procedure restores and preserves a tooth that’s decayed beyond what a filling can correct and save a tooth that would otherwise have to be removed. Afterwards the tooth may benefit from a crown.

Nightguards

Bruxism is the term used to describe excessive grinding or clenching of your teeth. One may not realize that they have this habit until their symptoms become problematic. Nightguards are designed for the specific purpose of treating nocturnal bruxism.

What Are the Symptoms and Complications of Bruxism?

Bruxism can cause numerous dental complications and symptoms such as:

How Can a Nightguard Help?

A nightguard, made of acrylic, provides a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth.They are softer than your dental enamel and can help to prevent the above symptoms and complications.

Protective mouthguards

If you or your child plan to enroll in a sport, it is a good idea to have a custom mouthguard made. Mouthguards are designed specifically to prevent damage due to trauma from an activity or sport.

Custom mouthguards are smooth and comfortable to wear. Because they are designed just for you, they stay securely on your teeth and are easy to place and remove. They provide more protection than the over-the-counter mouthguards.
