• Tooth Whitening

  that implies good dental health and youth. The
  unsightly stains associated with tobacco, dark
  liquids,
• and other factors can leave us feeling
  less-than-confident about our smiles.
  Fortunately, there is a simple solution to this
  dental problem cosmetic tooth whitening. Our
  practice provides convenient, take-home

• Restorative Care
• we carefully diagnose each patient and their
  needs and recommend the best solutions. Below you
  will find more information and explanations about
  restorative care options. We encourage our
  patient to talk with our Dentists about all of
  the options and preventive care as well.
• Crowns Bridges
• When a tooth is fractured, has a large old
  filling, or is severely damaged by decay, your
  dentist may recommend the placement of a crown.
  Crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth
  structure and can improve the appearance of your
  smile.

• Restorative Care
• Dental Implants
• The consequences of tooth loss can be prevented
  by replacing the lost tooth in a timely manner.
  Although there are several options to replace a
  missing tooth the number one choice for replacing
  lost teeth are dental implants.
• Implants are tiny titanium screws or posts that
  are surgically placed in the bone. Once
  integrated into bone they act like roots onto
  which small posts are attached which protrude
  through the gums.

• Restorative Care
• Dentures
• Over time, peoples teeth tend to naturally
  deteriorate. When a tooth has deteriorated
  substantially, it often needs to be extracted
  and when multiple teeth are extracted, dentures
  may be the most appropriate solution. Dentures
  can create a natural and healthy looking set of
  teeth. In addition, a properly fitting set of
  dentures can greatly enhance your smile and sense
  of self-esteem.

• Periodontal Care
• For Americans in their 30s and beyond, the threat
  of gum disease (periodontal disease) is a very
  real and potentially dangerous condition.
• Gum disease is particularly dangerous because the
  progression of the disease is often painless,
  going undetected until it creates serious
  problems.Although genetics may play a small role
  in its development, doctors agree that gum
  disease is most often directly related to how
  well people care for their teeth and gums.

• Preventive Care
• Preventive dentistry is the general term for
  dental care-related procedures or treatments that
  are meant to prevent oral health problems from
  rearing their ugly heads. A great example of a
  preventive dentistry procedure is sealants. A
  sealant is a layer of a protective, long-lasting
  special plastic.
• Dental Sealants
• Sealants protect the occlusal surfaces,
  inhibiting bacterial growth and providing a
  smooth surface that increases the probability
  that the surface will stay clean. The ultimate
  goal of sealants is penetrating into the pit and
  fissures of the tooth and sealing them from
  bacteria.

• Preventive Care
• Space Maintainers
• Space maintainers are appliances made to custom
  fit your childs mouth to maintain the space
  intended for the permanent tooth when it decides
  to come in.
• They do this by holding open the empty space
  left by a lost tooth by preventing movement in
  the remaining teeth until the permanent tooth
  takes its natural position in the childs mouth.

• Preventive Care
• Fluoride Treatments
• The fluoride ion comes from the element fluorine.
  Fluoride, either applied topically to erupted
  teeth, or ingested orally (called systemic
  fluoride) during tooth development, helps to
  prevent tooth decay, strengthen tooth enamel, and
  reduce the harmful effects of plaque.

• Dental Care for Infants
• Most pediatric dentists will agree that regular
  dental care should begin by one year of age, with
  a dental check-up at least twice each consecutive
  year for most children. Some children may need
  more frequent evaluations and care.
• In accordance with this recommendation, the
  following dental checklist for infants and
  toddlers has been provided by the American
  Academy of Pediatric Dentistry

• Dentistry for Anxious Patients
• Through the modern miracle of sedation dentistry,
  dentists can treat anxious patients and often
  accomplish dental work in one or two visits that
  may have required many more visits without it.
• Nitrous oxide and intravenous (I.V.) sedation are
  the two conscious sedation techniques most
  commonly used to help patients relax.
