A bridge can be used to accomplish the following:

Dental bridges are great for people with missing teeth.
Crowns go on top of your existing set in place, and an artificial tooth called a pontic sits between them to look like natural ones when you smile!
Call us if this sounds interesting because it's something that can make life better again!
Crowns
A dental crown is a perfect way to protect and strengthen your teeth.

Dentures/Partials
A denture is a removable dental appliance created to replace missing teeth.
Dentures are an important part of keeping the teeth and mouth in frame when one or more
teeth are missing. Dentures will give dental support and functionality to your smile.
Please give us a call to learn more about what complete dentures or partial dentures can do for your dental needs.
Endodontics (Root Canal Therapy)
When a tooth's inner nerve becomes infected or inflamed by decay, root canal therapy may be required to restore the tooth.
Initial symptoms of sensitivity and pain can manifest without warning in later stages when abscess forms for severe cases that require treatment sooner rather than later!
Root canal therapy is a much more desirable alternative as it will provide full functionality to the tooth and mouth without causing any future problems with adjacent teeth.
When confronting this type of decay or infection, there are usually two options being either pull the affected tooth or save it through root canal treatment!
However, when extracting decayed/infected teeth significant dental problems arise for other occupied areas that need special care like eating & speaking due to their proximity in bone. In the end, extraction may cause greater issues than resolution if done incorrectly. It can cause further complications that can be more costly than the initial procedure option.
Please call us to schedule your next dental appointment and learn how you can achieve a healthy smile through restorative dentistry.
Fillings
Dental fillings are a quick and easy way to repair teeth that have been affected by decay, cracks, or other problems.
In just one appointment your dentist will remove the damaged portion of enamel then clean it up before filling in with dental composite material so you can smile confidently again!
Composite or tooth-colored fillings can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth.
There are further dental options aesthetically suited for use in the front teeth or the more visible areas of the teeth.
Procedure
The dental procedure for a filling is usually completed in one appointment.
In preparing your tooth, the doctor will remove all dental decay and thoroughly clean it before placing composite fillings that are precisely shaped to fit like puzzle pieces together. After your dental treatment, you will be given care instructions and advice from your doctor.
Please call our dental office to schedule your next dental appointment and receive the restorative treatment you need for a healthy, pain-free smile.
