Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings are a safe and effective way to repair cavities while keeping your smile looking natural. Made from a durable composite resin, these fillings bond directly to your tooth to restore its shape and function. Unlike traditional metal fillings, tooth-colored fillings match the color of your teeth, making them virtually invisible. They also help prevent further decay by sealing the tooth, allowing you to maintain both a healthy and beautiful smile.

Periodontal Therapy

Healthy gums are essential to overall oral health, and periodontal therapy helps treat and manage gum disease. Deep cleanings involve removing plaque and bacteria from below the gumline, reducing inflammation, and preventing further infection. Regular periodontal care can stop gum disease from progressing to more serious conditions that may affect your teeth, jawbone, and overall health. By maintaining healthy gums, you not only protect your smile but also support long-term, positive oral health.

Dental Crowns & Bridges

Crowns and bridges are reliable solutions for restoring damaged or missing teeth. A dental crown covers and strengthens a weakened tooth, protecting it from further damage while restoring its shape and function. Bridges fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to neighboring natural teeth or implants. Together, crowns and bridges help maintain proper bite alignment, improve chewing and speaking, and restore the natural appearance of your smile.

Full & Partial Dentures

Full and partial dentures provide an effective solution for patients missing multiple or all of their teeth. Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth, while partial dentures fill in gaps where some natural teeth remain. Modern dentures are custom-designed for comfort, stability, and a natural look, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. With proper care and regular dental checkups, dentures can provide a long-lasting solution for a fully functional and attractive smile.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a permanent and highly effective way to replace missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a stable foundation for a custom-made crown, mimicking the look, feel, and function of a natural tooth. Implants help preserve jawbone health, prevent neighboring teeth from shifting, and provide a strong, durable restoration that can last many years. They are an excellent option for patients seeking a long-term solution for missing teeth.

Dental Extractions

Sometimes a tooth cannot be saved due to severe decay, infection, or overcrowding. In these cases, a dental extraction may be necessary to protect your overall oral health. Our team focuses on gentle, safe procedures to minimize discomfort and promote healing. After an extraction, we can discuss replacement options such as implants, bridges, or dentures to restore your smile and ensure your teeth continue to function properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are tooth-colored fillings as durable as traditional metal fillings?

Modern tooth-colored fillings are highly durable and can withstand normal chewing forces just like traditional metal fillings. They bond directly to your natural tooth, creating a strong, long-lasting seal. An added benefit is their natural appearance; they blend seamlessly with your teeth, making them practically invisible. With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, tooth-colored fillings can last many years while keeping your smile both healthy and beautiful.

Will I need a replacement for an extracted tooth?

In most cases, it’s best to replace a tooth after extraction. Leaving a gap can cause nearby teeth to shift, affect your bite, and even lead to bone loss in your jaw. Replacement options include dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures, each designed to restore function and appearance. During your consultation, we’ll review the best solutions for your needs so you can maintain a healthy smile and full chewing ability.

Who is a candidate for periodontal therapy?

Candidates for periodontal therapy are patients with gum disease ranging from moderate to severe. Signs may include swollen, bleeding gums, gum recession, persistent bad breath, or loose teeth. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and impact overall health. Periodontal therapy helps control infection, restore gum health, and protect your smile. We’ll evaluate your gums during your exams to determine whether scaling, root planing, or other treatments are necessary.

What restorative treatments are covered by dental insurance?

Most dental insurance plans help cover restorative treatments such as fillings, crowns, bridges, and sometimes dentures or dental implants. Coverage levels vary, so we’ll work with you to maximize your benefits. For patients without insurance, our in-house membership plan provides a 15% discount on restorative treatments, which makes it easier and more affordable to restore your smile while protecting your long-term oral health.
