Restorative Dentistry


 

  •         Fillings- restore cavities Cleaning of teeth includes removal of concretions of tartar - often called calculus - as well as soft plaque and stains. Because these local factors cause gum disease, the concern is that this is not just a cosmetic procedure - it saves teeth. Each patient recieves coaching in home care at no charge. 

  •         Crowns (Sometimes called Caps)- Restore teeth with major structural damage from decay, or teeth that have had root canals.

  •         Bridges - These replace missing teeth. A fixed bridge is non-removable. Think: "Like implants, but pre- 1980 technology." Still a great option, if you keep them clean. In fact, if you already HAVE crowns, it may be a better option than implants, at least cost-wise. 

  •         Implant - Borne Prothesis (maybe single crowns or bridges) - we offer a range of implant-supported options, from single unit crowns, to bridges, and even implant-supported dentures. Modern implants are highly successful. All of ours are placed by board-certified oral surgeons.
