CEREC® 1-Visit Crowns & Veneers

The CEREC® system can produce crowns, onlays or veneers in a single office visit. Unlike the traditional methods used for dental restorations, CEREC® requires fewer injections, less drilling, and less time out of your busy schedule. CEREC® veneers can quickly repair chipped, cracked or misshapened teeth, dramatically improving your smile. A CEREC® tooth restoration is not only convenient, it's also healthy. Instead of the amalgam, gold- and silver-colored mercury fillings of the past, CEREC® uses stronger, natural-colored, ceramic materials. Contact us today to learn more.

ClearCorrect Invisible Aligners (Braces)

Invisible aligners are the revolutionary way to help you get even, straight teeth without noticeable, painful metal braces. Virtually undetectable, invisible aligners are made of strong, clear plastic that gradually guide your teeth into perfect alignment. Unlike metal braces, they have no wires or brackets. Tooth impressions are made, from which customized aligners are made that will slide directly over your teeth. Aligners are typically worn fulltime (except when eating or drinking) for 12 to 48 months—no longer than you would wear traditional metal braces. We proudly feature ClearCorrect brand aligners. Contact us today to find out what works best for you.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are man-made replacements for natural teeth. The implants themselves are artificial tooth roots anchored in the gum or jawbone on which replacement teeth are permanently secured. Since implanted teeth are fixed in the mouth rather than being removable like dentures, they allow a return to the comfort & function of natural teeth. Increased chewing ability means you can enjoy more nutritious foods, contributing to your overall health & well-being. In short, dental implants improve the quality of your life. They can improve your appearance, boost your self-confidence, & allow you to speak with greater clarity.

Mini-Dental Implants – Stabilize Loose Dentures!

Mini Dental Implants (MDI) are a revolutionary new way to perform dental implants! Completed in a single visit, Mini Dental Implants get you smiling again dramatically faster than traditional dental implants. There is typically no pain during the procedure and just a small amount of local anesthetic is needed.

Mini Dental Implants look, feel and function like natural teeth — no one would ever guess that they not your own. Mini Dental Implants can preserve your youthful facial appearance by preventing bone loss and avoiding that sunken-cheek look common among denture wearers.

With no need to wait months for healing and practically no downtime, you will find Mini Dental Implants surprisingly affordable and available at a fraction of the cost of traditional implants. Contact us today and learn more!

Crowns

Crowns, also called caps, are natural-looking covers that fit snugly over teeth to conceal cracked, badly discolored, injured, or chipped teeth. Crowns minimize physical discomfort and provide support for damaged teeth. We use all porcelain crowns for best results. Ultimately, crowns can improve the overall appearance of your smile while making your teeth more resistant to injury.

Periodontal disease is caused by bacteria infecting the gums. With this new FDA-cleared & dentist-created system, medication can directly reach the inflicted areas. With no surgery required, the innovative procedure is easy & painless. Simply wear the customized PerioProtect Trays™—that’s all!

Tooth-Colored Fillings

We understand your concerns regarding the use of mercury fillings. Accordingly, at our office we have elected to offer our patients the option of using advanced, new fillings made of tooth-colored materials that contain no metals or mercury, instead of traditional silver fillings.

Do you Snore? We can Help!

If you Snore, we can help. In fact, our custom-made TAP 3, a "retainer" like device, has improved breathing and eliminated snoring in patients on average of 95%. The TAP 3 snaps comfortably over the upper and lower teeth, and helps hold the jaw forward so the tongue and soft tissues of the throat do not collapse into the throat, causing snoring and sleep apnea. It’s comfortable, effective, and will help everyone get a better nights sleep.

Sealants & Fluoride Treatments

Tooth decay, otherwise known as cavities, can be a significant problem for children as well as adults. There are numerous factors that lead to tooth decay and there are ways to prevent it. With the use of sealants, we can cover the deep grooves in your back teeth and extend their life while helping to prevent cavities.

Digital X-Rays

We offer in-office digital x-rays for your convenience. Digital x-rays are computer-generated images. These images require up to 90% less radiation than with conventional film type x-rays. Instead of using the traditional silver-oxide x-ray film that must be developed and then fixed in caustic and environmentally damaging solutions, the new system takes pictures via a small electronic sensor and instantaneously transmits a picture of the tooth onto the video monitor in the treatment room. Therefore, we can see your teeth and surrounding structures immediately. Feel free to contact us for more details, or to make an appointment!

State-of-the-Art Antiseptic Procedures

Our sterilization procedures meet the Centers for Disease Control guidelines. We heat sterilize all handpieces and instruments after each use. We use disposable gloves, gowns, masks, eye protection and barrier covers at all times. Our patients safety is our top priority.
