- Space MaintainersEvery child grows 20 primary teeth, usually by the age of 3. These teeth are gradually replaced by the age of 12 or so with a full set of 28 permanent teeth, and later on, four molars called "wisdom teeth." It is essential that a child’s primary teeth are healthy, because their development sets the stage for permanent teeth. If primary teeth become diseased or do not grow in properly, chances are greater that their permanent replacements will suffer the same fate. For example, poorly formed primary teeth that don’t erupt properly could crowd out spaces reserved for other teeth. Space maintainers can sometimes be used to correct this condition, if it is spotted early enough.

- VeneersA porcelain veneer is a thin piece of ceramic which is bonded permanently over the front surface of a tooth to improve its appearance.
- CrownsRecently we had the opportunity to demo an exciting new piece of dental technology at Dr. Yoon’s Dental Office. The 3m True Definition Scanner is an instrument that allows us to acquire digital models of teeth without having to take impressions. Using a 3D scanner we can create a virtual model that can be used to create dental products and prosthetics such as crowns, bridges, nightguards, retainers and more. Imagine, no more moulds and impressions at the dentists office! Check out some photos from our product demo and expect some exciting changes at our office in the near future!
- BridgesA dental implant is a titantium structure which is shaped like the root of a tooth. This implant is placed surgically. Once the implant has healed and integrated with the jaw bone, it can serve as a very strong foundation to support a permanent replacement tooth, a fixed bridge, or an attachment to add stability to a denture.
- Dental Bonding
- Root Canal TreatmentRoot canal therapy is a procedure where the inner chamber of the tooth containing the pulp tissue is removed, disinfected, filled and sealed. This treatment is often recommended when a tooth has a very deep cavity, a traumatic injury, an infection, or when the pulp tissue becomes inflamed or dies.
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesA dental implant is a titanium structure that is permantly placed in the area of a missing tooth. An implant can be used to support a single replacement tooth, several teeth, or to provide stability to a complete or partial denture. Read More...
- Dental ImplantsA tooth which is replaced with an implant is attached directly to the jaw without attaching to any other teeth. This allows a patient to clean and maintain the area with normal brushing and flossing. This can be a great option for patients who have difficulty cleaning under fixed bridges and want to avoid complete and removable partial dentures.
