Gone are the days of unsightly gold or silver (amalgam) fillings. We have ushered in a new era of restorative dentistry with a cosmetic touch thanks to our tooth-colored fillings.

With the use of a composite, metal-free material, our caring team can repair your tooth back to its original strength.

When placing a filling, your comfort remains a top priority. Therefore, we numb the area around the tooth and set the goal of completing the entire procedure in one visit. Once the area is numbed, your restorative dentist will gently clean the tooth and place the composite material. The material is adjusted to complement your bite and is then bonded into place.

The result is a structurally sound tooth that seamlessly blends in with your smile.

When more excessive tooth damage has occurred due to severe decay, trauma, or wear and tear, we may recommend a dental crown or cap.

Crowns are designed to protect a vulnerable or damaged tooth. A typical crown is placed using the following steps:

• An evaluation of your tooth
• Preparation of the tooth with the removal of any damage/decay
• We take impressions of the tooth, which are sent to the dental lab
• The crown is created using a tooth-colored material
• A temporary crown is placed until the new crown is ready
• The new crown is placed and reshaped
• Finally, the crown is bonded into place

When preparing the tooth and placing the crown, we’ll ensure your comfort by numbing the area. Our team will also walk you through the steps and explain why a crown is the best option.

When you have a missing tooth, it is essential to seek help to prevent further dental issues from taking shape.

When you visit us, we may recommend a dental bridge. This appliance consists of an artificial tooth bonded to two crowns, which act as anchors for the new tooth.

The procedure for placing the bridge is simple and only requires a small about of preparation.

We’ll begin by cleaning the area where the tooth has vacated. Your dentist then prepares the adjacent teeth and takes impressions so our dental lab can accurately design the bridge. We may provide you with a temporary bridge to protect the area until the permanent restoration is ready.

When the bridge has been created, we’ll place it over the prepared teeth and ensure it fits comfortably. With this restoration, you can enjoy a functional smile and feel confident when eating, speaking, or laughing.

When you have broken your tooth, it might require a more comprehensive restoration such as an inlay or onlay.

Both inlays and onlays are used to replace a missing part of a damaged tooth, which cannot be repaired with a simple filling.

The procedure involves taking impressions of your tooth and then sending the information to our dental lab.

The lab, in turn, creates the inlay or onlay depending on the extent of the damage:

Inlays: Typically used when a damaged is contained to the chewing surface of the tooth.

Onlays: This restoration is used when the damage also affects the cusps of the tooth.

Both inlays and onlays are custom-made to replace missing parts of your natural tooth. They are created using quality, tooth-colored materials and are securely bonded into place.
