GENERAL DENTISTRY: A General Dentist refers to the primary care provider for patients in all age groups who take responsibility for the diagnosis, treatment, management of overall services to meet patients oral health needs. These oral health care needs include fillings, crowns, veneers, bridges, root canals, tooth removal, root canals and gum care.

CROWNS: A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth. Crowns restore a tooth’s shape and size, strength, and/or improve its appearance when a tooth has become compromised by fracture due to trauma or decay. Dental crowns encase the entire visible portion of a tooth - from top of tooth to the gum line.

BRIDGES: A dental bridge, also known as a fixed partial denture, is a restoration used to replace a missing tooth by joining permanently to adjacent teeth or dental implants. Types of bridges may vary, depending upon how they are fabricated and the way they anchor to the adjacent teeth. Conventionally, bridges are made of porcelain or porcelain fused to metal.

COSMETIC FILLINGS: Composite resin dental fillings were created as an alternative to traditional metal dental fillings. Tooth fillings colored to look like a natural tooth are known as Composite Resin Dental Fillings, are made of a plastic dental resin. Composite Resin Dental Fillings are strong, durable, and make for a very natural looking smile. Many dental insurance plans cover their use.

"Sm:)e Perfected WHITENING SYSTEM: The Smile Perfected™ whitening system will help you achieve a noticeably whiter, brighter smile in just 20 minutes with no sensitivity. Patients can achieve a professional whitening in less time than traditional, often painful methods of the past. Our office incorporates bleaching “trays” which the patient takes home and uses a concentrated gel inside of custom made trays. The trays are made from an impression of each patients teeth. This method is cost effective for the patient because they pay for the trays once and then only have to buy the bleach gel as needed, the trays can be kept for years.

VENEERS: There's no reason to put up with gaps in your teeth or with teeth that are stained, badly shaped or crooked. Today a veneer placed on top of your teeth can correct nature's mistake or the results of an injury and help you have a beautiful smile. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of teeth. You should know that this is usually an irreversible process, because it's necessary to remove a very small amount of enamel from your teeth to accommodate the shell.
