Composite fillings are tooth-colored and used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, chips, and fractures or for closing space between two teeth. If this applies to you, we can analyze your situation and explain the best options for restoring your tooth. If a composite filling is chosen, we will remove the affected portion of the tooth and fill it with a composite that most closely matches the color of your existing teeth. Composite fillings are very popular because they are more aesthetically pleasing than traditional silver amalgam fillings, especially for visible teeth.

A porcelain crown, also referred to as a cap, is a covering that encases the entire surface of the tooth and restores it to its original shape and size. This treatment both protects and strengthens the structure of a tooth that cannot be restored with fillings or other restorative approaches. There are a number of types of crowns available, but porcelain crowns are the most popular because they are tooth-colored. Not only are they highly durable, they are very natural looking. Porcelain crowns are used for broken, fractured, or decaying teeth, for fractured or large fillings, or for cosmetic enhancement.

A dental bridge is a non-removable appliance used to replace missing teeth. There are a variety of bridges available, so its best to come in and speak with us so we can discuss the best options for your specific case. 

The most popular type of bridge is made of porcelain that is fused to metal. These types of bridges resemble your natural teeth and consist of two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth. These crowns are attached to artificial teeth, which fills the gap created by one or more missing teeth.

Dental bridges are extremely durable but may need replacement or re-cementing after normal wear. Patients get fixed bridges in order to fill the space of missing teeth, maintain their facial shape, prevent reaming teeth from moving out of position, restore chewing and speaking functionality, or to upgrade from a removable partial denture.

Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth-shaped porcelain that are custom made to match the shape and color of your teeth and then bonded to the front of your teeth to create a beautiful, attractive smile. They can reshape your teeth and your smile and are an extremely durable alternative to crowns. They are the optimal solution for a number of dental conditions. Porcelain veneers are used for cosmetic purposes, especially those associated with crooked, misshapen, discolored, stained, worn, or chipped teeth.

Teeth whitening is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment that can change the color of natural teeth enamel. Having whiter teeth is one of the major aesthetic concerns of most patients, and teeth whitening, or bleaching, is an ideal way to brighten your smile. When considering teeth whitening, it is important to consider replacing any old fillings and crowns because teeth whitening only works on natural teeth enamel. The replacement of any restorations will take place after the whitening treatment so we can match the newly bleached teeth.
