Restorative Dentistry
Dental Fillings
A filling is needed to replace and restore tooth structure that is damaged due to decay or fracture with a material. We use tooth-colored fillings, as they are the most natural-looking way to repair these damaged or decayed teeth in order to restore your smile back to a more natural look and feel.
Restorative Dentistry
Dental Crowns
Teeth that are significantly damaged by large cavities or cracks are at risk of developing into even bigger problems. Broken teeth not only cause discomfort and look unsightly; they are an opportunity for bacteria and plaque to find their way into your tooth. Infection, pain and oral health complications can follow if a crown is not used to repair and restore the tooth. If you already have a cavity, it may be so large that fillings will not hold and only a dental crown is able to cover and save that tooth. A crown is a permanent covering that fits over an original tooth that is either decayed, damaged or cracked.
Restorative Dentistry
Root Canal Therapy
When a tooth’s pulp and nerve is damaged due to a large cavity or deep infection, there is often painful pressure that builds up inside the tooth. That pressure in a tooth cannot be relieved on its own.
Root canal treatment involves removing the damaged or dead pulp. The canal is then reshaped and filled with a sealer material, to prevent recontamination of the tooth. The tooth is then permanently sealed.
If the infection is not removed properly, pain and swelling can spread to the bone around that tooth and other teeth, which can further damage adjacent
Restorative Dentistry
Extractions
An extraction is the complete removal of a tooth. If a tooth has suffered extensive tooth decay or trauma that cannot be repaired, extractions are sometimes necessary to remove the existing disease and prevent it from spreading to adjacent teeth. However, do not worry, our doctors will present you with various options to replace those missing teeth and restore your radiant smile!

Dentures
Dentures are a removable, affordable solution that can complete your smile after missing one or all of your natural teeth. To ensure a natural look and feel, most dentures are made of a combination of acrylic and metal and are custom-crafted for a comfortable fit. Looking to see if dentures are right for you? Schedule a consultation to find out if a set of full or partial dentures can restore your bite. It’s about time you got back to living your life with a smile.
Restorative Dentistry
Dental Implants
Dental implants have quickly become one of the most popular restorative dentistry solutions for missing teeth, especially for patients who are not interested in dentures and the adhesives that come with them. A dental implant is a permanent restoration and takes the place of a missing tooth’s root. A natural-looking tooth is attached to the top of the implant once the area has healed, giving you back your beautiful smile.
Restorative Dentistry
Dental Bridges
When you are missing a tooth, another excellent option to restore your full smile again is with a dental bridge. Crowns are attached to the teeth on either side of the missing tooth area, allowing them to serve as anchors for the bridge which sits across the missing gap and topped with a prosthetic tooth. This permanent prosthesis is cemented on so it does not come out and eliminates the hole in your smile!
