Dental Root Canal

Teeth with Root Problems Can Be Saved

A root canal will restore a tooth with infected or damaged roots to full functionality. Our doctors are well experienced in this procedure, and with modern techniques and anesthetics, patients find it very manageable.

In the past, teeth with root problems were extracted, but today it is known a tooth should be saved whenever possible. In most cases, having a root canal will take care of the problem. During the procedure, the pulp is removed from the interior of the tooth and then filled with a special material. Sometimes a crown is placed over the tooth for additional strength.

Great Ways to Improve Your Smile # 6

Implants
Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. Surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. Made of titanium and other materials, implants are designed to hold restorations like crowns or bridges blend in with your other teeth, and are a long-term option for restoring your smile.

Great Ways to Improve Your Smile # 5

Braces
While orthodontic work that begins while a child is growing helps produce optimal results, that doesn’t mean that adults can’t have braces. Thanks to advances in orthodontic treatments, metal brackets are not your only option. Removable aligners, or invisible braces,î or clear plastic brackets can all be used to straighten crooked or crowded teeth.

Dental Crowns

Crowns Save a Broken or Worn Tooth

A crown may be necessary if a tooth is broken or if it is simply worn down from use. Fillings will not repair a tooth in this state. Placing a crown over the remaining tooth structure will save and strengthen it. We make our crowns out of the highest quality materials so they are very durable and look very natural.

Bonding
Not happy with the way your teeth look? Bonding may be the answer. For some, it can help restore the natural look of your teeth. Bonding is a process where the dentist attaches or “bonds” materials directly to your tooth. Your natural tooth enamel and dentin are fused together with bonding materials such as porcelain and resins to create a strong structure that looks great.
