Crowns (Caps)

Crowning teeth is indicated when they are cracked, severely worn, decayed or just making you self-conscious. Crowns restore strength, structure, and beauty to a tooth. They cover the whole tooth and are designed to protect them from future damage. Crowns are either metal, porcelain fused to metal, or all porcelain crowns. We suggest all porcelain crowns they are metal free and their ability to blend in with the natural color of your teeth virtually make them undetectable.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are used to restore smiles, anchor dentures from slipping, and give back chewing function when natural teeth are unavailable. Dental implants consist of two parts a titanium post (artificial replacement for the tooth root) and an abutment crown attaching into the post. With implants, patients have options to get back their healthy smile.

Composite Fillings

Composite fillings are conservative white fillings that blend into the tooth structure. They are alternatives to silver fillings, which contain metal and mercury. Composite fillings are metal free, durable, and aesthetic.

Onlays

Onlays are conservative options to a full crown. Traditionally when large fillings need to be replaced full crowns were used. Now onlays can be utilized so only the damaged or decayed tooth structure is removed. Onlays are placed internally in the tooth like a puzzle piece thereby conserving tooth structure.
