Based on the same idea of crowns, bridges are used to restore a missing tooth when a dental implant cannot be used for any reason. It utilizes the two teeth on either side of the gap (called abutment teeth ) which hold a false tooth in- between. Why should I restore a missing tooth? Teeth help to support our cheeks and lips. When teeth are lost and not replaced the cheeks loose their support and become sunk-in giving an older appearance. Also when a tooth is lost and not replaced the neighboring teeth start to move in place. These results in loss of chewing efficiency and predispose to gum and periodontal problems.
The position of the affected teeth has a bearing on the complexity of the procedure.

Crowns are restorations that cover teeth that are no longer structurally sound. Root canals, lost fillings, decay below a filling, chipping and cracking of the enamel are things that may lead to large scale defects in a tooth's surface. When the entire surface of the tooth is a problem, but the root system is intact, a cap might be appropriate for you. Preparing a tooth for a crown usually requires two visits – at the first visit the tooth is examined for any gross decay which is removed and the tooth is properly restored before it is prepared to receive the crown, if the tooth had already received root canal treatment then this step should have been done before preparing for the crown. After anesthetizing the tooth and gum tissue around the tooth receiving the crown is filed down along the chewing surface and sides to make room for the crown. An impression is taken for the tooth and send to the laboratory to fabricate the cap. The crown is usually ready in three days during which your tooth will be restored with a temporary crown. Receiving the permanent dental crown - at your second visit, your dentist will remove your temporary crown and check the fit and color of the permanent crown. If everything is acceptable, a local anesthetic will be used to numb the tooth and the new crown is permanently cemented in place.

White fillings, also called composite fillings, are made from tooth-colored materials that restore the natural appearance of a decayed or previously filled tooth. A composite filling usually requires only one visit, during which the tooth is prepared and restored. Composites are preferable for obvious cosmetic reasons, but if the decayed area is large or is subject to heavy chewing pressure, your tooth may require another type of material or restoration. Some people may experience some sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures in the newly filled tooth for a few days or as long as a week.

Gum disease (Periodontal Disease) is responsible for about 70 percent of adult tooth loss. It is characterized by swollen, inflamed gums surrounding the teeth. Plaque, a sticky substance that forms in the mouth from food, saliva and bacteria gets inside the space between the gum line and the tooth. If not removed, plaque hardens into a substance called calculus or tartar that is very difficult to remove. Eventually, the bacteria in the plaque and tartar eat away at the fibers that hold the gums to the teeth, creating deep pockets. As bacteria spread, the pockets become deeper until the bacteria finally eat away the bone that holds the tooth in place.Treatment of gum disease varies between patients and will depend on how far the disease has progressed. We want to first control any infection and stop progress of the disease. Then, after careful evaluation of damage to surrounding tissues and bone, we are able to determine what treatment strategy is best for you. In the early to moderate stages of periodontal disease, dental prphylaxis is very effective. This is accomplished by scaling and root planing, a thorough cleaning of root surfaces to remove tartar and plaque (calculus) that has accumulated under the gum. Along with using antimicrobials or antibiotics, the goal is to bring your gums back to their optimum health by reducing, or eliminating any pockets around the teeth which might harbor infection.

dental implants are an excellent choice to replace missing teeth. Dental implants have been used successfully for many years. The implant itself is a post that is surgically placed in the jaw. A prosthesis (artificial tooth or teeth) is then attached to the post.What are the benefits of dental implants? • Dental implants are the most advanced tooth replacement system ever devised. • Dental implants never develop decay. • Dental implants never require root canals. • Dental implants preserve the jawbone, which can prevent premature aging. • Dental implants are considered the closest replacement that can match your lost natural teeth.

What is endodontic (root canal) treatment? To understand endodontic treatment, it helps to know something about the anatomy of the tooth. Inside the tooth, under the white enamel and a hard layer called the dentin, is a soft tissue called the pulp. The pulp contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue and it is responsible for nourishment and vitality of the tooth as well as the reaction to various stimuli as hot, cold and pain. Why would I need an endodontic procedure? Endodontic treatment is necessary when the pulp, the soft tissue inside the root canal, becomes inflamed or infected. What are the signs of needing endodontic treatment?Signs to look for include pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, tenderness to touch and chewing, discoloration of the tooth. Sometimes, however, there are no symptoms. How does endodontic treatment save the tooth? Endodontic treatment removes the inflamed or infected pulp, carefully cleans and shapes the inside of the canal, a channel inside the root, then fills and seals the space. Afterwards, you will return for a second visit, where a crown will be placed on the tooth to protect it and restore it to full function. After restoration, the tooth continues to function like any other tooth.

Veneers are a fantastic way to fix front teeth. You can whiten your teeth, close spaces, and create a great smile. We can even do virtually instant orthodontics to straighten crooked teeth. Veneers are very thin and are bonded on the front of your anterior teeth. Veneers are about 0.3mm to 0.5mm in thickness but are very strong once bonded to your teeth. They have a "life like" appearance with the strength, beauty, and durability only porcelain restorations can afford. Veneers have several advantages over crowns (caps). There is no "dark line" that is sometimes seen with older front caps. They transmit light better and, therefore, have a more translucent appearance giving a natural, esthetic look. Veneers do not require the massive grinding of tooth structure that caps do, yet, they accomplish a lifelike esthetic result. How's it done? After a discussion with your dentist, your first appointment usually involves some minor contouring of the front teeth and taking an impression of the teeth. At the next appointment the veneers are tried in, and, if perfect, they are bonded in place. Each porcelain laminate is a work of art, carefully crafted in a laboratory to fit your individual smile. A follow up visit is made in a week. The results are instant and spectacular!

Teeth whitening is a bleaching process that lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin restoring teeth to its normal healthy natural color. Teeth become discolored for different reasons:-Frequently drinking coffee, tea, or colas-Some antibiotics may darken developing teeth in children-Aging - The dentin underneath the enamel of a tooth gradually darkens with age-Use of tobacco productsHow is it done? At our office we use a chairside whitening gel called oplasence xtra boost. This product is so advanced that it can whiten your teeth without the bothersome heat or harmful ultraviolet light rays employed by other systems. It utilizes a chemically activated hydrogen peroxide gel that starts its action once placed on the teeth.How long does it take? The complete procedure takes less than an hour. The procedure begins with a preparation period that takes 10 minutes, followed by 45 minutes of bleaching broken into three 15 minutes applications. (A cleaning is recommended prior to the actual whitening session.) During the procedure, patients may comfortably watch television or listen to music.Is whitening safe? Yes. Extensive research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe. In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available.
