Crowns
Crowns are a type of dental restoration which, when cemented into place, fully cup over the portion of a tooth which lies at and above the gum line. Crowns encase the entire visible aspect of a tooth. A dental crown in effect becomes the new outer surface of the tooth.
Hygiene
Preventative care is an integral part of our practice. Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the most important things you can do for your teeth and gums. Healthy teeth not only enable you to look and feel good, they make it possible to eat and speak properly. Good oral health is important to your overall well-being. Promoting health through preventative dentistry and educating our patients on good oral hygiene is the heart of our practice. Thorough examinations and professional cleanings allow us to identify problem areas and stop periodontal disease.
CARI FREE
New Ways to Prevent Cavities Before they Start
Tooth decay (cavities) is caused by a bacterial infection on the teeth. CariFree® employs advanced science and technology to easily identify and treat the bacterial infection and promote oral health.
Tooth decay is mainly caused by a bacterial infection on the teeth. The CariFree system allows dentists to test for and treat the bacterial infection before it causes tooth decay. The CariFree system gives you and your dentist the ability to take control of your oral health. Promote healthy teeth — stop filling cavities
CariFree employs advanced infection testing and treatment technology to promote long term dental health, instead of simply treating symptoms by filling cavities.
How is it possible? The advanced CariFree system measures the magnitude of harmful bacteria on your teeth. If harmful decay-causing bacteria are identified, the CariFree treatment plan may be prescribed by your dentist.

Dental Implants
Are you aware that about 70% of adults ages 35-44 have lost at least one permanent tooth? Determining which tooth replacement option is best for you can be confusing. Choosing not to replace a missing tooth, may be the least expensive short-term option. But this may ultimately lead to detrimental effects on your dentition, including shifting of the teeth leading to malocclusion and dental tipping that could complicate future replacement. As your other teeth compensate for the loss of the missing tooth, they may become over loaded leading to muscle and jaw pain. Eventually, the jawbone that was once preserved by the missing tooth will thin and weaken. Early correction will be the least expensive and least complicated option in the long term. more . . .
