From Common to Complex:

Treating Your Teeth So They Will Last a Lifetime

The services listed below fit into our comprehensive approach to taking care of your dental health. For example, our first line of defense is to take the offensive--teaching you the latest information and techniques to prevent decay, gum disease, and bite problems. Plus, if we uncover problems that need attention, we'll determine their underlying causes, and discuss both short and long-term strategies. And if you're interested in making cosmetic changes, we will create a plan to accomplish your objectives.

Preventive Services:

Teaching You to Take Responsibility for Your Teeth

Once upon a time, people lost their teeth due to decay. Now, thanks to technology, better hygiene techniques, and patient education, runaway decay is rare. Yet people still lose their teeth, and often long before old age can be blamed. Why? Many people today unwittingly destroy their teeth by chronic, unconscious biting, clenching, and grinding. Although the problem isn't universal, it's rampant. And that's just one of the reasons we're so thorough in our check ups. We check each and every tooth for wear patterns, bony structure changes, bite changes, sensitivity, and other warning signs. If we find such evidence of bruxism, we'll talk with you, help you understand the situation and its potential consequences, and offer you some long term solutions-- like a custom-fit hard acrylic nightguard to protect your teeth from further damage.
We also evaluate the soft tissues of the mouth—for muscle strain, signs of oral cancer, and indications of gingival irritation. Then we record everything meticulously, monitoring concerns and improvements from one visit to the next.

Gum Care:

Tough on Disease, Gentle on Patients

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is one of the sneakiest oral health problems around. In the early and middle stages, it's painless. Plus, very few people are aware of the warning signs. And that's just another reason we're so meticulous in checking for it, cleaning every little nook and cranny in your mouth, and charting every aspect of your oral health each time you visit. Of course, our excellent patient education is geared to help you avoid it altogether. But even if it becomes a concern, you can count on us to arrest it, control it, and correct any damage done. Our gum care services include:

  • Regular Cleanings
  • Deep Cleanings
  • Diagnostic Services
  • Phase One In-Office Scaling
Restorative Services:
Rebuilding Your Smile for Life

Life can be tough on your smile. Age, heredity, accidents, and even lifestyle choices can cause all kinds of wear and tear on your teeth, your bite alignment, and your overall oral health. What's worse—most aspects of oral health are interrelated, so one problem often leads to many others. That's why we've invested in the complex training and technology required to consider all the variables involved and restore people's smiles.
Our restorative services include:

  • Tooth Colored Fillings
  • Bonding
  • Photographic Analysis
  • Crowns, Onlays and Inlays
  • Bridges
  • Dentures and Parital Dentures
  • Dental Implant Restoration

 

Cosmetic Services:
Something to Smile About

These days, lots of dentists 'specialize' in cosmetic work. But claiming it and performing it professionally are often two different things. For one thing, it's a highly complicated area of expertise—requiring not only technical skill, but a keen artistic eye for color, shape, balance, and size. Furthermore, it requires excellent doctor-patient communication, since changes in your smile will affect you either positively or negatively for the rest of your life!
We take these concerns seriously. That's why we've invested the training time and technology needed to provide real help for people wishing to enhance their smiles. For example, we use a highly specific photographic analysis procedure to diagnose and plan the entire case up front, keeping you involved with each step. We talk with you about all kinds of things you probably never considered, but which will impact your final look: your facial shape, your gumline arches, the position, color, shape, size and relationships of your teeth, and the overall look and balance of your smile. Then we take professional quality photographs, assemble a diagnostic wax-up of your entire mouth, and create a working model to demonstrate precisely what you can expect. And in all of this, we evaluate the plan for both function and appearance.
Our cosmetic services include:

  • Diagnostic wax-ups
  • Bonding
  • Tooth colored fillings
  • Whitening
  • Porcelain veneers
  • Crowns, onlays and inlays
