Restorative

  • Bridges:
    Bridges are vital in protecting not only the balance of your bite and chewing motion, but the integrity of your facial features as well. A person who leaves missing teeth unattended may permanently alter the shape and contour of his or her face. Bridges easily restore not only the balance of the mouth, but typically look and feel as natural as your own teeth.
  • Crowns:
    The affected tooth is reshaped so that it can be augmented by a natural-looking synthetic material, usually porcelain. This procedure is also beneficial for teeth that show wear and tear or are crooked.
  • Dentures:
    To ensure the most natural and comfortable result, dentures must be custom fit to an individual's mouth and gums. Dentures that are correctly developed and fitted will restore a natural looking and secure bite and smile.
  • Implants:
    Implants utilize a titanium or ceramic "root" positioned within the jawbone, to which an artificial tooth or crown is attached. Implants usually look and feel most like natural teeth of any replacement procedure.
  • Cosmetic Fillings:
    There are different composite filling materials to choose from and you and your dentist should decide which one best suits your needs. Early detection of cavities is the best way to treat them, as many can be filled without the need of drilling or needles.

Cosmetic

  • Whitening (take home):
    Available for daily or nightly use.
  • Whitening (in office):
    A 45 min chairside procedure that is clinically proven to whiten teeth an average of eight shades in just one office visit. Zoom gets teeth whiter, faster, and keeps them whiter longer using the latest light-activated whitening technology
  • Veneers:
    This effective cosmetic procedure involves bonding a thin layer of porcelain to the prepared tooth surface. Veneers can make teeth look whiter, straighter and more evenly spaced, often in only two sessions. Most commonly used to fix cracked teeth and fill in the gap between the two front teeth.
  • Bonding:
    A composite resin, the color of tooth enamel, can be used to repair fissures or chips and get rid of or diminish gaps. It is also be used to fill cavities while maintaining a more natural look than traditional fillings. Bonding is not usually as permanent as porcelain veneers.

Endodontal

Complete pain free root canal treatment Root canal treatment is carried out when the pulp (soft tissue inside a tooth) is either inflamed or dead. The pulp is a tissue made up of nerves, connective tissue and blood vessels.The purpose of root canal treatment is to remove the inflamed tissue or bacteria inside the root canal and thus allow the surrounding tissues to heal. What are the symptoms that indicate the need for root canal therapy?

  • Symptom 1: Moderate to severe lingering toothache when having hot or cold foods.
  • Symptom 2: Toothache pain so intense it wakes you up at night.
  • Symptom 3: Pain when chewing or biting.
  • Symptom 4: Swelling on your gum which when pressed may release blood or pus.
  • Symptom 5: Pain that starts in one tooth and spreads to other regions of the jaw or head e.g. an infected lower molar (back tooth) may cause you to feel pain in the ear!

    * Sometimes, however there may be no symptoms. If properly performed and under normal circumstances, a root canal treated tooth can last you a lifetime
