Fillings
Tooth-colored composites provide a conservative and esthetic replacement of tooth structure lost due to decay, wear, or damage.
Bonding
Composites may also be used to help improve the shape of a tooth, improve contacts between teeth, or help with notches along the gumline.
Sealants
The risk of developing decay can be decreased by coating the deep grooves of molars and premolars with sealants, providing a smoother surface to more easily maintain with regular brushing.
Extractions
When a tooth becomes compromised due to decay, trauma, or gum disease, it may be most appropriate to remove the tooth and evaluate possible replacements for the tooth. Many extractions can be performed in our office, though some may be referred to a specialist due either to complexity, or as part of the plan to replace the tooth in the future.
Dentures
When only some natural teeth still remain in an arch, and are adequately stable, a partial denture can provide a replacement for the missing teeth. If all of the teeth in an arch are missing, or no adequate support teeth remain, then a full denture can help restore some of the function that has been lost.
Dental Implants
Dental implants can help replace a missing tooth or multiple missing teeth by providing a solid support on which to place a new crown, bridge, or denture. We work with dental specialists who help plan and place the implants, and our office works to provide the final restoration that attaches to the implants.
