Crowns and VeneersYou can have a new smile with all-porcelain crowns (empressed material) on the anterior teeth. For the posterior, we use porcelain fused to metal. Fillings: ResinTooth-colored fillings that are light cures to match your teeth. Amalgam: Silver-colored fillings, more durable material. Root CanalsWe perform root canals on anterior and premolar teeth. Periodontal TreatmentYou should have a standard cleaning at least twice a year. A periodontal treatment includes an Adult Prophy (basic cleaning). If it has been over a year since your last cleaning, possible treatment will include either Periodontal Scaling (deeper) or Root Planning and Scaling (requires anesthetic). Mouth GuardsWhether you are an athlete or casual sports participant, you should wear a mouth guard to protect your teeth. If you grind your teeth while you sleep, a bite guard will help reduce symptoms of TMJ. We custom make mouth guards in both soft and hard materials. Removable Dental ProsthesisFor missing teeth, we can make dentures or removable partials for you.
