Services
Composite Fillings
Composite fillings restore decayed or damaged teeth with tooth-colored material that bonds securely to natural enamel. These durable restorations resist fractures and perform well in areas with moderate chewing pressure. The bonding process preserves more natural tooth structure compared to traditional amalgam fillings. Our dentists apply composite resin in layers, curing each layer with ultraviolet light to create a seamless restoration that matches surrounding teeth.
Dental Crowns
Crowns restore severely damaged or weakened teeth to their original shape, size, and function. Custom-crafted from porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or gold, these restorations protect compromised teeth while maintaining natural aesthetics. The two-visit process involves precise tooth preparation, temporary crown placement, and permanent cementation after laboratory fabrication. Crowns typically last 10-15 years with proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that mimic natural teeth in appearance and function. The multi-stage process involves surgical implant placement into the jawbone, followed by osseointegration healing before attaching custom crowns or bridges. This solution preserves adjacent teeth structure while preventing bone loss associated with missing teeth. Implants offer long-term durability and require the same care as natural teeth.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth using a series of custom clear plastic aligners that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. Patients wear each set for two weeks before progressing to the next stage, with treatment typically lasting 12-18 months. The removable system allows normal eating and cleaning while addressing mild to moderate spacing or crowding issues. Regular checkups ensure treatment progresses according to the digital treatment plan.
Dental Sealants
Sealants protect molars from decay by sealing deep grooves where food particles accumulate. The quick, painless application process involves cleaning teeth, applying adhesive, and curing liquid sealant into place. This preventive measure creates a protective barrier against plaque and bacteria, particularly effective for children's newly erupted permanent molars. Sealants typically last up to 10 years with regular dental monitoring.
