Adult Restorative and Reconstructive Care
Restorative and reconstructive dentistry is devoted to repairing or replacing teeth that have been damaged or lost. It includes, and we can offer, everything from composite dental fillings, porcelain and gold crowns or "caps", inlays and onlays, root canal treatments (endodontics) to save your natural teeth, oral surgery (tooth extraction for non-restorable teeth, impacted teeth, or in preparation for orthodontics), restoration of dental implants, fixed bridgework, bonding, and full, and partial dentures for replacing missing teeth.
Adult Cosmetic Care
Advances in dental technology have created many new options to improve the appearance of your teeth. This specialized field requires a successful blending of dental science and creative artistry. We can help you enhance and/or restore your smile by filling in chips and gaps, changing the color, shape, size and/or position of your teeth with:
- Porcelain veneers - durable, ultra-thin, fabricated ceramic shells bonded to the visible portion of tooth surfaces; used to fill gaps, cover chips, stains or other defects, repair broken teeth and improve the color of teeth.
- Color matched composite resin bonding different shades of resin, similar to the clay a sculptor would use, applied to the tooth to repair decay (tooth colored fillings), chips, fractures and stains, close spaces between teeth or change the shape of a tooth. The resin can be molded, cured, and polished to match and blend with the surrounding teeth.
- Porcelain crowns, inlays and onlays - machine fabricated tooth colored porcelain coverings fitted and bonded to a damaged tooth. Extremely stable, durable and virtually invisible solutions used to replace old or damaged metal fillings, restore and strengthen teeth that are cracked or decayed and "cap" or crown teeth after root canal therapy. With our CEREC technology we can permanently place your new crown or inlay during a SINGLE visit.
- Professional teeth whitening (bleaching) systems - in-office whitening and/or custom made take home tray systems with whitener gel.
- And Invisalign orthodontic aligners - a custom made system of clear, removable teeth aligners used to gradually move your teeth into the desired alignment; virtually invisible, used in place of metal braces and wires to straighten teeth.
Our office is proud to offer advanced CEREC (CEramic REConstruction) technology for restorations and cosmetics. CEREC, the technology leader in chair-side crown, inlay/onlay, and veneer fabrication was chosen to help enhance your visit and save you time. Same day restorations can be created right at our office with this amazing new machine. We understand the inconvenience patients are usually faced with when they are told they need a crown. They will usually have to schedule two separate appointments - one for preparation and placement of a temporary crown, and one for placement of a permanent crown. Because we realize that our patient's time is valuable, we use this revolutionary machine to mill a permanent crown, right in our office, in about an hour. After taking a 3-dimensional image of your tooth, our CEREC system can create a durable, color-matched restoration while you wait. We can then permanently place your new crown or inlay during a SINGLE visit. CEREC Blocs, the clinically proven feldspar porcelain from which the restorations are made, are backed by 20 years of research and more than l6 million restorations placed, so you can rest assured this is a proven product you and we can trust.
