Bonding	Crowns	Replacing Old Fillings

Crowns: When a tooth is fractured or cracked, severely damaged by decay, or has large old filling, a crown (also called cap) is often placed. A crown strengthens the tooth, protects the remaining tooth structure and can improve appearance.

Bridges: Teeth can be lost by accident, decay or bone loss. When one or more teeth are missing, the remaining teeth often drift out of position, placing stress on adjacent tissues and teeth. Eating speaking and chewing may be more difficult. You may feel self-conscious about your appearance. Before things start to really go awry, consider what a bridge can do.

A bridge is a replacement tooth that is supported and attached by a crown on either side of the space. The two side teeth (anchor teeth) are prepared to provide support for the bridge.

Implants: What are Implants? Implants are titanium posts or frames that are surgically placed beneath your gums. After placement, the implants fuse to the bone of your jaw and act as artificial tooth roots. Replacement teeth - singularly or grouped on a bridge or denture - are then mounted to the implant. Dental implants can be an effective method to replace teeth.

Root Canal Treatment: Once upon a time, if you had a tooth with a diseased nerve, you'd probably lose that tooth. Today, with a special dental procedure called a root canal therapy you may save that tooth. Inside each tooth is the pulp which provides nutrients and nerves to the tooth, it runs like a thread down through the root. When the pulp is diseased or injured, the pulp tissue dies. If you don't remove it, your tooth gets infected and you could lose it. After the dentist removes the pulp, the root canal is cleaned and sealed off to protect it. Then we will place a crown over the tooth to help make it stronger.

High Tech Dental Service

Intra-Oral Cameras: New technology allows us to use a small color camera on the end of a dental instrument to show you on a monitor what the inside of your mouth looks like. We can freeze the image and print it to paper. Often, patients are unaware of the conditions that exist in their mouth so this becomes an excellent tool to help educate our patients.

Diagno-Dent: New Laser technology used to diagnose decay. Conventional method is only 25% accurate. This instrument is 93% accurate.
