- Dental ImplantsDental implants are a revelatory means of tooth replacement that can restore the beauty and function of a missing tooth. They are composed of a small titanium post embedded within the gumline, as well as an abutment exposed above the gums that attaches to a natural-looking restoration (such as a dental crown). In this way, dental implants are designed to look and function like a natural tooth and tooth root. Since they are intended to integrate with the jawbone, implants can prevent the shifting of surrounding teeth and stop further bone loss.
- BridgesDental bridges are meant to replace one or more consecutive missing teeth with a custom-designed restoration that “bridges†the gap in a patient’s upper or lower dental arch. One of the many advantages of dental bridges is that they do not require implantation, and treatment can be completed much faster than other tooth replacement techniques.

- Restorative DentistryLiving with broken, cracked, or missing teeth can be very debilitating, but you don’t have to suffer from an impaired smile forever. At Shevlin Dental Center, our experienced and compassionate dentists work with a team of dental specialists—including periodontists, oral surgeons, and orthodontists—to provide an array of effective restorative dentistry treatments for our Bend-area patients.

- Dental BondingCosmetic bonding is another treatment that is often used to address minor aesthetic imperfections. However, unlike porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding uses layers of composite resin to restore the compromised area. While capable of repairing chips and cracks in the enamel, cosmetic bonding is mainly utilized for conservative fixes; it can stain more easily and be less durable than porcelain veneers.
- FillingsWhen teeth have been weakened by damage or decay, the health of the tooth structure can be recovered with conservative treatments. Dr. Cauble and Dr. Falkenstein offer tooth-colored fillings as an improvement from traditional metal amalgam fillings for natural-looking teeth. This eliminates traditional protocols that place metal and mercury in your mouth, instead filling cavities with a composite material that blends into the shade of your teeth and smile.
- Resin CompositePatients with chips, cracks, or minor fissures in their enamel can rebuild the proportions of their tooth with cosmetic bonding, a conservative treatment option that utilizes layers of durable composite resin to repair the tooth structure. This simple treatment can be an effective way to mend mild chips and fractures in the teeth.
- VeneersPorcelain veneers make flaws in your smile disappear. Thin and strong, porcelain veneers require minimal reshaping of your natural teeth without weakening them. Common dental flaws, such as chips, gaps, minor misalignments, and discoloration can be corrected. Porcelain veneers can provide long-term beauty and structural support that integrate harmoniously with your surrounding teeth.
