Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Gum Disease or Periodontal Disease, is an infection of the gum line and if left untreated severe damage to the tooth and surrounding bone can occur. Periodontists receive advanced training in the latest techniques and innovations in periodontal treatment and will work with you to provide a treatment plan suited to your needs. Seeking treatment for gum disease early is paramount. Gum disease will continue to worsen and significant health problems can arise if left untreated. Therefore, it is important to recognize the early signs and maintain the right preventative care including keeping your routine dental exams.

• Fluoride Treatment
  One fluoride treatment per year to support healthy tooth enamel and fights the bacteria that harm teeth and gums.
• Dental Sealants
  Dental sealants are very thin layers of a plastic resin that is bonded to the surface of affected teeth. The sealants create a solid barrier by filling in the deep grooves and hardening. Sealants also make the surface of your teeth more smooth, meaning that they’ll be even easier to keep clean.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Bonding is simply the process of applying these resins to the front of your teeth, creating an outward-facing perfect smile. Molded from a durable plastic, bonding is a great substitute for amalgam fillings, in fact many patients believe they look better.
• Resin Composite
  The usual practice today is to use composite resin, a tooth-colored plastic, to most effectively seal up your tooth. The days of metal and other kinds of fillings are long gone! Composite resin creates the most natural, life-like appearance to front-facing teeth, guaranteeing a happy smile.
• Veneers
  Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells that are custom-fit to match your teeth’s size, shape, color, and overall appearance. They match your teeth perfectly to give you a great smile. They have gained popularity as a great cosmetic dental treatment in recent years.
• Crowns
  At some point in their life, almost everyone will need to have restorative work done on their teeth. Over time daily use and other stressors eventually take their toll on your teeth and gums. If you develop a badly damaged tooth, one of the most effective ways to save it is with a dental crown.
• Bridges
  Missing one or more teeth? A dental bridge may be the right solution for you. Call our offices today to schedule a consultation!
• Dental Bonding
  In general, you may need to have your dental bonds touched up more often than you’ll need to have veneers replaced, the process for dental bonding is much simpler, faster, and far less expensive than to have veneers put in.

These partial dentures may include clasps and a metal framework that attaches to your teeth, often with natural-looking connectors.

  Nobody likes to have a tooth extraction, but with modern technology and safe, effective anesthetics it is a wise precaution to take when a tooth is confronted with significant issues. It’s always the last consideration, but there are times when there are no other viable options.
• Ridge Augmentation
  Bone grafts are also very effective in achieving sinus lift. Grafts are used to elevate the sinus membrane, giving a more secure place for implants to be placed. They are also an effective treatment for ridge augmentation, which can help repair damage due to trauma, birth defects, injury, or severe periodontal disease. The bone graft fills in the ridge, giving the jawbone a more uniform shape.
• Bone Grafting
  One of the leading causes of bone loss in the oral cavity is periodontal, or gum disease. Bone grafting is considered the best way to replace lost bone tissue and to encourage the growth of natural bone.
