Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings are made from a composite resin that closely matches the natural color of your teeth. They’re used to repair teeth affected by cavities or minor damage, offering a more natural look than traditional silver fillings. These fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, helping to strengthen the tooth while maintaining its appearance.

Dental Crowns & Bridges

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth. Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to neighboring teeth or implants. Both options restore function and appearance, helping you chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is a procedure used to treat an infected or severely decayed tooth. It involves removing the damaged pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection. This treatment helps save your natural tooth and relieve pain, and it’s often followed by a crown for added protection.

Full Dentures

Full dentures are removable appliances used to replace an entire arch of missing teeth. They are custom-designed to fit comfortably and help restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Modern dentures are more natural-looking and secure than ever before.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements that mimic the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. A small titanium post is placed in the jawbone to act as a root, and a custom crown is attached on top. Implants are durable, long-lasting, and help preserve jawbone health.

Dental Extractions

Dental extractions are sometimes necessary when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or crowding other teeth. The procedure is performed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort. After the extraction, we’ll provide instructions and options for replacing the tooth, if needed.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth removal is often recommended if the teeth are impacted, overcrowded, or causing pain. The procedure is commonly done during a patient’s late teens or early adulthood to prevent future dental issues. Recovery is typically quick with proper care and guidance.

Bone Graft Procedures

Bone grafting is a treatment used to restore bone in areas where it has been lost due to tooth loss or gum disease. This procedure is often necessary before placing a dental implant. It helps rebuild a strong foundation for future restorations and supports long-term oral health.
