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 enamel is removed. Also, unless Dental Bonding is being performed to fill a cavity, anesthesia is typically not required.

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 including; stainless steel, all metal (such as gold or another alloy), porcelain-fused-to-metal, all resin, or all ceramic.

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.

Dentures

We fabricate both full and partial dentures to fit the unique needs of our patients looking to replace a single space or all their missing teeth. By coordinating with our laboratory, we are able to ensure your full or partial dentures are made to last and meet your specific functional and cosmetic requirements. 

A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Two types of dentures are available - complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.

Teeth Whitening

We offer custom fitted take home bleaching trays, which are an easy and effective ways to brighten and whiten your smile. 

 

Each tray is fabricated using a detailed impression of the patient's teeth to ensure a custom and precise fit. The take home trays allow for a more customizable bleaching experience, particulary important for those patients with sensitive teeth.

Invisalign Orthodonic System

Invisalign is the nearly invisible and easy way to straighten your smile without braces. Dr. Dixon is an experienced, certified Invisalign provider. Invisalign is a series of clear plastic retainers that straighten your teeth comfortably. They are convenient because they are removable, preventing food impaction, and allow for normal brushing and flossing.
