Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom made material designed to cover the front side of your teeth. They are usually recommended to correct chipped, stained or for teeth that could no longer be restored by a filling. Veneers are irreversible because it is necessary to remove a small amount of enamel to accommodate the veneer. Veneers come in different brands depending on the manufacturer. Lumineers is one of the more popular brand.
Root Canals
Root canal treatment is recommended when the pulp (soft tissue made from blood vessels found inside the nerve canals of the root of your teeth) becomes exposed due to deep decay. The dentist isolates the tooth by using a rubber dam. The diseased pulp is then cleaned out by either a rotary or hand instruments, irrigated with a medicament and sealed. If the infected pulp is not removed and treated, pain and swelling can result.
Crowns
A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth colored crown) are the most popular. They are highly durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced.
Bridges
Few incidents have greater impact on dental health and personal appearance than tooth loss. When one or more teeth are missing, the remaining teeth can drift out of position, which can lead to a change in the bite, the loss of additional teeth, decay and gum disease. When tooth loss occurs, your dentist may recommend the placement of a bridge. A bridge is one or more replacement teeth anchored by one or more crowns on each side.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth can be become stained, dull, and discolored from medications, age, and certain food and beverages. A take home bleaching treatment with a high concentration gel and a custom fitted tray for effective delivery of the bleaching agent can brighten and improve your smile.
