Cosmetic Dentistry
Bonding is used to repair teeth that are decayed, chipped, fractured or discolored. It can even reduce gaps between teeth.
It is an option for people of all ages, including children, as the resin can be replaced as teeth grow.
A cap or crown is a cover that fits over a tooth that has been broken, misshaped, badly stained or damaged by decay.
A crown can be made of acrylic, metal, porcelain, or porcelain bonded to metal. All-porcelain crowns look more like your natural teeth.
The crown will closely match the color and shape of your natural teeth.
Bridges is a way to replace a missing tooth or teeth.
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. It is called a “bridge” because it covers a gap. Bridges are false teeth anchored in place by neighboring teeth. The bridge consists of two crowns on the anchoring teeth along with the false tooth in the center.
Implant
Dental implants are artificial roots used to support replacement teeth. One or more small metal posts are surgically inserted beneath the gums into the jawbone. In a few months, when the implants are fused to the surrounding bone, the artificial tooth or teeth are then attached.
Dentures restore smiles, give a more youthful look to the face and also allow people to eat, swallow and speak with ease.
There are two types of dentures: full and partial. Each is made from an impression of the patient’s mouth. A mold is made and the measurements are sent to a lab to be made into permanent dentures. Dentures are secured by attaching to or fitting over any remaining natural teeth or implants.
Veneers are strong, thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded to the teeth. They are used to repair chipped, decayed or stained teeth and may help in closing gaps between teeth. Veneers may also correct slightly crowded or overlapping teeth. If your teeth have discolored with age, a veneer may improve their appearance.
Teeth whitening is the process many people use to brighten their smile. While teeth naturally darken with age, staining can also be caused by foods and beverages like coffee, tea, wine and berries. Some medications, smoking or tooth damage can also cause discoloration.

Dental sealants act as a barrier against decay-causing bacteria. They are usually applied to the chewing surface of teeth. Most often, the sealants are applied to the back teeth.

When teeth have cavities or have been damaged, our dentists may recommend a filling. Composite fillings cement is used so their color can be matched to the rest of your teeth.
When a tooth is injured, cracked or decayed, it’s necessary to open the tooth and clean out the infected tissue. This space is then filled and sealed to prevent further infection. Keeping your tooth helps keep your other teeth from drifting out of line and causing jaw problems. Saving a natural tooth also avoids having to replace it with an artificial tooth, like an implant.
A tooth may need to be removed because of disease, trauma or crowding. In some cases, permanent teeth may need to be removed for orthodontic treatment. If you lose a tooth or need to have a tooth extracted it is recommended to replace the missing tooth. Tooth replacement options include bridges and implants or dentures. Extraction is a common practice for wisdom teeth
