Although twice-daily brushings and regular flossing are excellent for maintenance between office visits, regular examinations and cleanings are an absolute necessity if you are to maintain a healthy mouth. Our staff will help you keep your teeth and gums strong and disease-free. To schedule a cleaning or consultation, please contact our office today.

Implants

Dental implants attach artificial teeth below the gum line using an anchor. The anchor holds the implant in place, allowing excess bone and gum to grow around it. The end result is a strong, secure tooth that is virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Because dental implants require surgery, they are intended only for candidates with sufficient bone and healthy gums. For more information about dental implants, please contact us today.

Orthodontics (braces)

Having straight teeth is important for both health and appearance. Not only do we have traditional metal braces, but we also offer newer, subtler varieties. One option is clear braces, which straighten teeth without calling attention to the fact that you have braces. Another option is Invisalign, a unique new treatment option. Rather than using wires and brackets, Invisalign uses custom-made, removable aligner trays that move teeth into place discreetly and comfortably. The aesthetic aspect is important, because having a smile you love can affect your happiness and self-esteem, whether you are an adult, a teenager, or a child. To learn more about these orthodontic options for you or your child or teen, please contact our office today!

Periodontics (gums)

Unfortunately, periodontal (gum) disease can lead to more than just an unsightly smile - it can cause loss of teeth and eventually, if left untreated, serious health problems. Called gingivitis in its early stages, periodontal disease is caused by excessive toxic bacteria (found in plaque) that attack your mouth's soft tissues. Early warning signs of the disease include red, swollen, bleeding gums. If caught early, we can help you reverse the damage or, if detected late, we can use one of many effective cosmetic dentistry procedures to restore your mouth to a healthy, beautiful state. For more information, please contact our office today.

Dentures and Partials

Full Dentures
Dentures are an excellent option for people who have lost all their teeth. Precisely designed and molded to fit one's mouth, full dentures slide over the gums and are held in place with strong cheek and mouth muscles. They allow for comfortable chewing and keep the mouth and its surrounding features in proper alignment. To learn more about full dentures, please contact us today.

Partial Dentures
Sometimes, dentures are the best option to solve the problem of missing teeth. When properly fitted and designed, dentures - which are strong, comfortable, and virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth - can provide extra chewing comfort, maintain facial structure, and ensure added strength. To find out more about this option, please contact us today.

Removable/ Partial Dentures
Removable or partial dentures fill gaps left by missing teeth. Partial dentures are held in place with metal clasps or precision devices (tooth-colored, discreet clasps) that are attached to natural teeth. Usually made of resin or metal, partial dentures allow more comfortable and effective chewing, improve speech, and prevent sagging of the cheeks and lips. To find out if partial dentures are right for you, please contact our practice today.

Custom Dentures
Today's technology allows us to fully customize dentures to fit your mouth precisely and to exactly match the color of your existing teeth. A good fit ensures chewing comfort and added strength. If you have any questions about dentures, we can help - please contact our office today.

Root Canal Therapy

Each of our teeth contains a long, thin strand of dental pulp - which provides the tooth with nutrients and nerves - that extends down to the tooth's root. If the pulp becomes infected or injured, the tooth's nerves die and often, without endodontic treatment, the tooth dies as well. Root canals are designed to save such damaged teeth. During the procedure (performed under anesthesia), a gap is drilled into the tooth's crown and pulp chamber, diseased pulp is reshaped or removed, and the tooth is permanently sealed with a gold, porcelain, or tooth-colored crown. To learn more about root canals, please contact us today.

TMJ

Problems involving the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint) located just below the ear are commonly referred to as TMJ. Patients suffering with TMJ problems may experience headaches, pain in the jaw joints or surrounding muscles, a jaw that locks open or closed, a bite that changes uncomfortably, or difficulty chewing, speaking, swallowing, or eating. TMJ therapy is customized to fit each patient's individual TMJ disorder. Our practice offers a variety of surgical and non-surgical options to treat TMJ problems. If you are suffering with TMJ symptoms, please contact us for more information about the TMJ treatments that we offer or to schedule a consultation.
