Cavities are one of the most common oral diseases, so it's imperative we tackle them as soon as they begin to compromise the health and wellness of your teeth. When left untreated, they can cause serious discomfort and may require more invasive procedures to alleviate. Thanks to fillings, your dentist can halt the progression of tooth decay in a single visit. By stopping by for your regular 6-month cleaning and checkup, you can prevent new cavities from forming in the first place.

Toothaches can be a sign of a serious infection and cause significant discomfort. Fortunately, root canal therapy offers a solution to provide the relief you need and restore the health of your tooth. During a root canal procedure, the infected pulp of the tooth is removed, and the area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Once the tooth has been properly treated, it can be restored with a filling or a dental crown to help maintain its structure. Not only can root canal therapy alleviate the pain caused by the infection, but it can also prevent the need for a tooth extraction. By saving your natural tooth, you can smile with confidence and avoid more extensive and costly dental work down the line.

Extractions are always a last resort because preserving your smile is our top priority. However, sometimes a problematic tooth causes more harm than good. In these cases, your dentist may recommend an extraction to restore your oral health. Using gentle techniques and local anesthesia, decayed or damaged teeth can be safely removed to relieve discomfort or make space for dental implants, a bridge, or another type of tooth replacement.

If you're missing a tooth, or need an extraction, it's important to find the right replacement to take its place. Dental implants not only restore your smile's aesthetics but also maintain the functionality of your bite and your overall oral health. By mimicking your tooth's natural roots, dental implants are the most secure, long-lasting tooth replacement, and the only one that actually halts the progression of bone loss. At our practice, we utilize advanced Guided Implant Surgery technology, which allows for precise, computer-planned placement using 3D imaging for optimal results with minimal invasiveness. This state-of-the-art approach ensures your implant is positioned perfectly for both function and appearance, reduces recovery time, and increases long-term success rates. Get in touch with us today to see if dental implants with our guided surgical approach are right for you.

If you've suffered from severe dental trauma, have lost many teeth, or are dealing with a variety of dental difficulties, full mouth-rehabilitation may be right for you. Throughout a variety of treatments and procedures planned out by your dentist, full mouth-rehabilitation can completely restore your overall health and boost your confidence.

When you're missing more than a few teeth in a row, your oral wellness takes a hit — not to mention your confidence and overall health as well. With crowns and bridges, our team can restore your bite for the long run. Since crowns and bridges are affixed to your smile, they won’t move or shift, making them a great alternative to partial dentures. There's also no invasive surgery involved, so you can skip the healing time and get back to smiling again.

Dentures are a removable, affordable solution that can complete your smile after missing one or all of your natural teeth. To ensure a natural look and feel, most dentures are made of a combination of acrylic and metal and are custom-crafted for a comfortable fit. Looking to see if dentures are right for you? Schedule a consultation to find out if a set of full or partial dentures can restore your bite. It's about time you got back to living your life with a smile.
