Aging restorations (crowns, bridges, etc.), decay, grinding, injury, neglect, and other events over the years can damage the functionality of your teeth. Through restorative dentistry, we can return your smile to its original health and vibrance.
ImplantsAn implant is one of the more permanent forms of restorative dentistry. During this procedure a titanium post is inserted into the jawbone. This forms a secure platform for the attachment of a custom-created dental prosthetic, denture, or crown. Implants are sometimes used instead of bridges to preserve the integrity of the teeth on either side of the gap.

Typical dentures can shift and require adhesive to keep them in place. Implant supported dentures help eliminate the problems associated with traditional dentures such as gum sores, difficulty speaking and difficulty chewing. They better distribute the biting pressure of your dentures and stimulate the supportive structures of your teeth to keep the bone and gums from shrinking away.
Tooth loss can seriously affect your self-esteem. The good news is that you can live a normal life even after the loss of your teeth. Advances in technology mean your removable dentures fit better, and dentures support your cheeks and lips so you don’t lose the aesthetic appeal of a full set of teeth. We specialize in creating custom dentures that look just like real teeth. We will help you select the shade and shape of your teeth so you can have your ideal smile.
A lifetime of wear and tear can cause discoloration of your teeth and cause them to chip and crack. These problems can be fixed using a crown, sometimes known as a cap. After some preparation, we place a crown, made of either porcelain pressed to metal, porcelain throughout, or precious metal over your natural tooth to restore the functionality and beauty of your smile.
Gum disease, injury, decay, or simple wear and tear can result in the loss of a tooth. Significant problems can be created by a gap in your teeth. Your surrounding teeth will shift into the space, resulting in movement of your teeth throughout your mouth. This can cause discomfort, pain and many other problems down the road. A bridge is created out of metal, alloys, or porcelain and uses the teeth on either side of the gap as supporting structures. A crown is placed on the teeth on either side of the gap, and a prosthetic tooth is fused between the crowns to fill the gap. A bridge is a semi-permanent restoration, which means it can only be removed by a qualified dentist.
