Services Offered
  1. Dental Veneers:
    When teeth are broken, misshaped, permanently stained or out of proportion, veneers can often be the solution. Dental veneers are thin, custom shells that are bonded to the front of the teeth. The result is a more attractive, proportional smile that you can be confident about.
  2. Crowns:
    When a tooth is broken or cracked to a great extent, a crown is often the answer. Aesthetically, a crown can return a tooth to its normal size and shape. More importantly, a crown can hold together a tooth where the structure has been compromised.
  3. Dental Implants:
    When a tooth falls out or has been removed, often the healthiest option is a dental implant. During the procedure, a supportive cylinder is surgically implanted into the jaw. This provides a foundation for sturdy, natural-looking replacement teeth.
  4. Dentures:
    People lose teeth for several reasons, usually due to tooth decay or gum disease. For these patients, dentures are often a welcome solution. A set of dentures is a prosthetic device that allows patients to chew better, speak normally and improve their appearance overall.
  5. Bridges:
    Dental bridges replace missing teeth with a short row of prosthetics that rely on the strength of surrounding teeth and help stabilize the bite. Bridges also help keep nearby teeth from moving into the open space of the missing tooth. Once the surrounding teeth are prepared for the bridge, it is attached to the teeth.
