Cosmetic Dentistry
Fillings
Fillings are used to restore areas of your tooth affected by decay. Dentists use composite (tooth-colored) and occasionally amalgam (silver) materials to "fill in" the surface of the tooth after all decay has been removed. Read more about fillings
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel, and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile. Read more about teeth whitening
Veneers
Veneers are very thin pieces of durable tooth shaped porcelain that are custom-made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile. Read more about veneers
Restorative Dentistry
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a post made of metal that is designed to replace missing teeth. It is usually made out of titanium and is placed surgically into the jawbone where the tooth is missing. Unlike a bridge, an implant is a more permanent solution. Read more about implants
Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance and is one of the traditional dental methods for replacing missing teeth. Read more about bridges
Dentures
Dentures are a "replacement" option for missing teeth. There are two variations of dentures: partial dentures and full dentures. The difference between the two lies in how many natural teeth remain. Read more about dentures
Extractions
A tooth extraction is the procedure done to remove a tooth that is damaged beyond repair from its socket in the jawbone. Extractions are also done to remove wisdom teeth that may be impacted or create future problems. Read more about extractions
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are used to restore portions of the tooth, or to strengthen a tooth. They are alternatives to using fillings or a crown to restore the integrity of the tooth. Read more about inlays and onlays
