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.

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

• To protect a weak tooth (for instance, from decay)

• To hold a dental bridge in place

• To cover misshaped or severely discolored teeth

• To cover a dental implant

• To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down

• To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't a lot of tooth left

• To make a cosmetic modification

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.

Cosmetic Veneers

What are Cosmetic Veneers?  Cosmetic veneers are a form of cosmetic dentistry in which a shell or layer of tooth-colored porcelain or composite is placed over the facial surfaces of your teeth to correct worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment or spacing, discoloration and chips or cracks.

• Teeth that are worn down either because of root canal treatment; stains from tetracycline or other drugs, excessive fluoride or other causes; or the presence of large resin fillings that have discolored the tooth

• Teeth with gaps between them (to close the space between these teeth)

• A chipped tooth or a cracked tooth

• Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped (for example, have craters or bulges in them)
