The Dental Service You Need

We offer various dental services to ensure our patients receive the quality dental care they need. We strive to provide dental solutions and appliances that promote dental health and provide a great match for our patient’s smiles in terms of natural tooth color, shade, and shape. 

 

Our services include:

Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic bonding is a procedure in which the dentist uses composite resin to fill in gaps between teeth or to cover up discoloration. The dentist will first etch the tooth’s surface with an acidic gel, then apply the composite resin and mold it into place. The resin is then cured with a special light, and the dentist will then polish it to achieve a smooth finish.

 

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front of teeth to improve the appearance of stained teeth, chipped, cracked, or misaligned teeth. The dentist will first remove a small amount of enamel from the front of the tooth to make room for the veneer, then will take an impression of the tooth. The impression will be sent to a dental lab, where the veneers will be made. The dentist will then cement them in place.

 

Invisalign

Invisalign are braces that use a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. The patient will wear them for about 22 hours per day for about six months. At regular checkups, the dentist will adjust the aligners as needed.

 

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a dental restoration that covers the tooth’s entire surface. It is typically used to shelter and restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay, injury, or a previous treatment such as a root canal.

 

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges replace missing teeth. A dental bridge is composed of two dental crowns attached to a false tooth, or pontic. The bridge uses two natural teeth on either side of the missing tooth gap as anchors. The dentist will shape these anchoring teeth to fit, then cement the bridge in place. 

 

Fillings

A filling is a type of dental restoration that is used to repair damage caused by decay. The dentist will first remove any decay from the tooth and replace the missing tooth portion with a composite resin material. There are a variety of dental filling materials that can be used to repair damage caused by decay, including gold. But many patients prefer that composite resin can match their natural tooth color and shade.

 

All-on-Four Dental Implants

We use All-on-four dental implants to replace missing teeth. This type of implant is different from traditional dental implants in that it uses four implants to support the bridge. The dentist will surgically implant the four implants into the jawbone. The bridge will then be attached to the implants.
