Crowns
Although there
are several
types of
crowns,
porcelain
(tooth colored
crown) are the
most popular.
They are
highly durable
and will last
many years, but
like most
dental
restorations,
they will
eventually need
to be replaced.
Porcelain
crowns are made
to match the
shape, size,
and color or
your teeth
giving you a
natural,
long-lasting
beautiful
smile.
Inlays/Onlays
Porcelain
or
metal
fillings
that
are
cemented
into
place.
They
are
specifically
designed
to
restore
the
strength
and
durability
of
the
distal
molars.
Dental Implants
Crowns and
conventional
bridges or
dentures may
not be your
only options
when replacing
missing teeth.
For some
people, dental
implants offer
a smile that
looks and feels
very natural.
Surgically
placed below
the gums over a
series of
appointments,
implants fuse
to the jawbone
and serve as a
base for
individual
replacement
teeth, bridges
or a denture.
Invisalign
Invisalign is
the invisible
way to
straighten
teeth using a
series of
custom-made,
nearly
undetectable
aligners. And
it's been
proven
effective in
both clinical
research and in
practices
nationwide. So
whether your
teeth are
crowded, too
far apart or
have shifted
since wearing
braces, you'll
have a new
reason to
smile.

Lumineers
/ Veneers
There's
no
reason
to
put
up
with
gaps
in
your
teeth
or
with
teeth
that
are
stained,
badly
shaped
or
crooked.
Today
a
veneer
placed
on
top
of
your
teeth
can
correct
nature's
mistake
or
the
results
of an
injury
and
help
you
have
a
beautiful
smile.
Whitening
A
quick,
easy,
effective
way
to
give
yourself
a
glamorous
smile.
It
can
boost
your
self-esteem,
reduce
the
signs
of
aging,
and
is
non-invasive.
There
are
many
different
options
available
to
accommodate
your
desires.
One
of
the
most
popular
is
the
laser
treatment.
The
doctor
will
apply
RX
strength
hydrogen
peroxide
to
the
teeth
and
glaze
over
with
a
laser.
It
typically
takes
an
hour
to
complete
and
the
results
can
last
up to
a
year
or
more.
Bridges
Sometimes
called a fixed
partial
denture, a
bridge replaces
missing teeth
with artificial
teeth, looks
great, and
literally
bridges the gap
where one or
more teeth may
have been. The
restoration can
be made from
gold, alloys,
porcelain or a
combination of
these materials
and is bonded
onto
surrounding
teeth for
support.
Dentures
There are
various types
of complete
dentures. A
conventional
full denture is
made and placed
in the
patient’s mouth
after the
remaining teeth
are removed and
tissues have
healed which
may take
several months.
An immediate
complete
denture is
inserted as
soon as the
remaining teeth
are removed.
The dentist
takes
measurements
and makes
models of the
patient’s jaws
during a
preliminary
visit. With
immediate
dentures, the
denture wearer
does not have
to be without
teeth during
the healing
period.
