- Cosmetic Bonding

- Gum Treatments
Periodontal procedures including reshaping of gum contours or removal of excess gum tissue for health or esthetic purposes.
- Modern Sterilization
Employing the most up-to-date procedures to control the spread of any infectious material.
- Crowns
A covering placed on a tooth to replace missing structure and reinforce or strengthen it. Commonly made from metal with porcelain baked to the outside. Crowns are used for broken or cracked teeth or over teeth where a previous filling encompasses more than one-half of the tooth. Crowns usually require two appointments for preparation and placement.
- Bridges
Replacing a missing tooth by placing at least two crowns on adjacent teeth and suspending a false tooth in between. This restoration is cemented to your teeth and is not removable.
- Partials and Dentures
A removable appliance that replaces missing teeth in either the upper or lower jaw.
- Root Canals
This treatment refers to the removal of diseased or dying nerve tissue from the inside of the tooth. After a root canal, most teeth require a foundation filling for support and a crown for strength.
- Nitrous oxide and other sedation
Nitrous oxide, known as “laughing gas”, can be used to lower patient anxieties and increase pain tolerance.
Also, prescribed sedative medications can be taken to relieve treatment anxiety.
