Dental Implants

Do you have a missing, extracted or damaged tooth?  This common dental problem is more than a cosmetic issue.  Smile gaps can affect your oral health, too.  Fortunately, we offer a number of restorative dental solutions at our practice, including dental implants. 

Dental implants provide patients with a sturdy, secure and natural looking prosthetic tooth.  Since they are placed directly into the jawbone, they offer the same stability you would expect from a natural tooth.  At our practice, each dental implant is custom designed to blend in with your smile.  Many of our patients have found that dental implants restore their smile confidence. 

If you are in need of a tooth replacement, visit our office and learn more about the benefits of dental implants.  We are happy to work with patients to determine the best restorative option for your smile needs.

Bonding and White Filling

When accidental damage affects your smile, you want to opt for the most cosmetically appealing dental solution.  Whether you are looking to correct a chipped tooth or you need to fill a cavity, we offer cosmetically appealing restorative services at our practice.  Bonding and white fillings have helped many of our patients restore the health and beauty of their smiles.

Bonding is used to restore structural damage like chipped, cracked, or fractured teeth.  It can even correct gaps created by teeth that are too narrow or short.  This affordable, beautiful solution fixes damaged teeth for a realistic look.

White fillings have replaced traditional metal amalgam fillings at our practice. Unlike dark, metal fillings, white fillings blend in with your natural tooth color.  You can improve your oral health and correct tooth decay without affecting the aesthetic appearance of your smile.

If you are ready to fix your damaged tooth and restore the beauty of your smile, contact our practice and learn about how our bonding and white filling services can help.

Invisalign

We offer complete orthodontic services that can address a range of smile alignment concerns.  One of the most popular alignment solutions is Invisalign.  This treatment can be used by teens and adults seeking a discreet and flexible alternative to cosmetic braces.  Invisalign is custom fabricated to gradually and incrementally adjust your teeth into an ideal position. When you wear Invisalign, you can remove them to enjoy a snack or meal, brush and floss your teeth, complete dental exams, and for special occasions and photos.  Our patients love the flexibility and freedom, as well as their Invisalign results.
