Preventive Dentistry

• Considering that oral health is linked to overall health, preventive dentistry is important to your overall well being. Oral diseases can interfere with eating, speaking, daily activities and self-esteem.
• In children, severe decay can affect growth and development. Preventive dentistry can result in less extensive – and less expensive – treatment for any dental conditions that may develop, and help you keep your natural teeth for a lifetime.

Conservative & Endodontics

Dental Fillings:

• Dental fillings are used to repair damage to the structure of a tooth or teeth. Structural damage can be caused as a result of tooth decay, wear or trauma. After the removal of a problematic tooth structure, the tooth is restored with one of several filling materials: gold, amalgam, composite resin (white filling material) or porcelain. Each filling material has its advantages and disadvantages. Your dentist will work with you to determine which material is appropriate for you.

Crowns

• Crowns are dental restorations that protect damaged, cracked or broken teeth. Dental crowns, often referred to as caps, sit over the entire part of the tooth that lies above the gum line.

Periodontics

Scaling

• A dental scaling (prophylaxis) is recommended every six months or one year to remove dental plaque and stains you're unable to remove yourself, as well as to check for signs of tooth decay and gum diseases.

Orthodontics

Orthodontics:

• Misaligned teeth and malocclusions can be straightened and corrected with dental braces and retainers. Orthodontics is both a functional and cosmetic treatment, and has become an increasingly popular field of dentistry.

Pedodontics

Tooth Decay and Children

• Because of their many bumps and grooves, the chewing surfaces of children's teeth are highly susceptible to cavities. Debris and resulting bacteria may become lodged between the grooves of a child's tooth. These grooves (called pits and fissures) may be more problematic for some children than for others.

Oral Surgery

Extractions

• A severely damaged tooth like grossly decayed ,root stump may need to be extracted. Permanent teeth may also need to be removed for orthodontic treatment.
