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.
Porcelain or metal fillings that
are cemented into place. They
are specifically designed to
restore the strength and
durability of the distal molars.
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 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
