Cosmetic Dentistry

A bridge’s purpose is to bridge the gap between one or more missing teeth. It’s comprised of two or more crowns fused together, which are then attached to the surrounding teeth. Partial dentures are used if a patient is missing several teeth: the structures fit around the remaining teeth and are attached with metal or plastic clasps.

Instead of using metal fillings, a composite filling is a tooth-colored plastic/glass mixture used for restoring decayed teeth by bonding to the tooth. They can be used to fill cavities, change teeth color, or even reshape damaged teeth.

A crown is a tooth-shaped cap fitted over a tooth that completely covers it. It’s designed to mimic an actual tooth and is often used to prevent more decay, breaking, or cracking. It restores the strength or functionality of a tooth and helps to absorb bite forces that might cause more damage later.

With in-office or dentist-supervised options, you can get better results. We offer tray-based teeth whitening (which can be done at home), or in-office teeth whitening and a special light that speeds up the whitening process, providing desirable, noticeable effects.

If there’s no other treatment option available, when a tooth is too badly damaged or suffering severe gum disease, tooth extraction may be needed. It’s a fairly common procedure that we can perform with little difficulty or pain.

If plaque isn’t properly removed, it hardens into something called calculus or tartar. When it forms below the gum line, tissue will pull away from your teeth. Scaling and root planing removes the calculus deposits and encourages tissue to reattach to teeth.
