Bonding
Dental Bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material (a durable plastic material) is applied and hardened with a special light, which ultimately "bonds" the material to the tooth. Unlike veneers and crowns, which are customized tooth coverings that must be manufactured in a lab, Dental Bonding can be done in our offices. Another advantage, compared with veneers and crowns, is that the least amount of tooth structure is removed. Also, unless Dental Bonding is being performed to fill a cavity or repair trauma, anesthesia is typically not required.

Crowns
What is a dental crown? A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth as a cover to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance. The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. Permanent crowns can be made from various materials, but we use state of the art all porcelain "Zirconia” crowns that are both beautiful and very strong.

Dental Implants
What are dental implants? Dental implants are metal anchors that provide a solid foundation for teeth that look, feel and function just like natural teeth. Dental implants are the best and most comfortable method of tooth replacement. The adjacent teeth are not affected, and the area can be flossed and cleaned like a regular tooth. We coordinate with a select group of experienced specialist to restore all dental implant systems and locations.
