Tooth-Colored Fillings
Metal fillings were once the standard for dental care, but times have changed. Advanced technology has given us tooth-colored fillings, which are bonded to the teeth and are virtually undetectable. The same material we use for tooth-colored fillings, composite resin, can also be used to repair breaks or close gaps. Metal-free, tooth-colored fillings can usually be completed in a single day – that’s something to smile about!
Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings Over Metal Fillings
Compared to traditional metal fillings, composite resin fillings offer a multitude of benefits, including:
- Being free of mercury and all metals
- Having a natural-looking appearance
- Bonding directly to the tooth, sealing out bacteria that cause infection
- Decreasing the risk of tooth sensitivity
- Preventing your tooth from darkening over the years
- Requiring no additional maintenance beyond what you would give to your other natural teeth
Dental Crowns
Modern dental porcelain is more durable and aesthetically-pleasing than ever before. Using precise color-matching techniques, these crowns can perfectly mimic your natural tooth color, and the porcelain is even semi-translucent for a lifelike glow. In addition, porcelain crowns are strong and will last for over a decade with proper care and maintenance.
Root Canal Treatment
The term “endodontics” comes from the Greek words "endo," inside, and "odons," teeth. The inside of a tooth can become damaged for several reasons, such as a crack, fracture, or extensive decay. If that happens, we need to intervene with a root canal. Although this procedure has a bad reputation, it actually is virtually painless thanks to powerful numbing agents. So, don’t take the “wait and see” approach. Call us right away so we can alleviate any pain you’re experiencing and save your tooth!

Extractions
While our number one priority is always to preserve your natural teeth, sometimes the best course of treatment involves an extraction. This may be the case if:
- A tooth is too damaged to be restored
- To make room for dentures
- To replace the tooth with a dental implant
In any case, we will handle your extraction with the utmost care. Thanks to modern dental techniques and sedation dentistry, we can make it so you’ll barely feel anything at all during your extraction.
