Fillings

These fillings are tooth-colored and do not affect the aesthetics of your smile. We can also replace silver (metal) fillings that you may already have.

Crowns

If the damaged area of a tooth is too large for a filling, it may be necessary to place a crown instead. Unlike a filling, a crown completely covers the affected tooth and is bonded to the tooth with dental cement.

Root Canal Therapy

This treatment is necessary when a tooth becomes infected within the roots. Symptoms include painful toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold food and beverages, or grayish discoloration. During root canal therapy, the pulp of the tooth is cleaned out and the canal is disinfected and filled with a sealing material to ensure bacteria does not re-enter the area.

Bridges

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap created by the missing teeth. It is anchored to the adjacent teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. Here’s a detailed overview of dental bridges:

Components of a Dental Bridge

1. Pontic: The artificial tooth that replaces the missing tooth.
2. Abutments: The natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap that support the bridge.
3. Crowns: These are placed on the abutments to hold the bridge securely in place.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

• Restores Function: Helps in chewing and speaking properly.
• Aesthetics: Improves appearance by filling in gaps caused by missing teeth.
• Maintains Facial Shape: Prevents the sagging of facial muscles.
• Prevents Teeth Shifting: Stops remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
