the invisible way to
straighten teeth using a
series of custom-made,
nearly undetectable
aligners. Because there are
no metal wires and brackets,
Invisalign is comfortable.
And because it’s removable,
eating, brushing and
flossing are no problem. You
can still enjoy your
favorite foods and smile
with out holding back. More

Composite
Fillings
Implant
Crowns
Silver Amalgam fillings have
been around for many years.
Unfortunately, there are
several drawbacks which the
reason for them no longer
being the choice filling
material used in dentistry
today. They cause the tooth
to turn black, expand when
exposed to hot and cold
materials, and cause cracks
and fractures.
Dental implants are
natural-looking replacements
for missing teeth that also
provide the same function as
your natural tooth root. A
dental implant is a small,
sturdy, titanium post that
acts as the root structure
would for a natural tooth. A
dental implant is placed
into your upper or lower jaw
bone. After the bone has
grown around the implant,
implants can hold a crown,
bridge or over-denture just
like roots hold natural
teeth in place. More

Periodontal Therapy
Cosmetic Bonding
We offer scaling and root
planing to patients who
suffer from periodontitis,
bone loss, and/or gum
disease. It is our goal to
treat you in our office in
every way possible before
referring you to a
specialist. Our hygienists
are extremely gentle and
caring during this
therapeutic treatment in
which your gums and mouth
are restored to healthy
dental standards. Some
common myths involving this
scaling and root planing are
that it involves “cutting
away your gums”, that it is
“gum surgery”, and “it is a
painful procedure”. None of
these are true. Scaling and
root planing is simply a
dental cleaning in which the
hygienist uses specifically
designed tools to remove any
plaque or calculus that is
in the spaces between your
gums and your teeth. If you
would like more specific
information please ask at
your next visit!
Dental bonding is a
procedure in which a
tooth-colored resin material
(a durable plastic material)
is applied and hardened with
a special light, which
ultimately "bonds" the
material to the tooth to
restore or improve a
person's smile. Because of
some of the limitations of
dental bonding, some
dentists view it as best
suited for small cosmetic
changes, for temporary
correction of cosmetic
defects, and for correction
of teeth in areas of very
low bite pressure (for
example, front teeth).
Consult with your dentist
about the best cosmetic
approach for your particular
problem.
