Implants
Truth is, we take our teeth for granted until they’re gone. Only then do we realize how vital strong, healthy teeth are to quality of life. Eating, speaking, smiling, and speaking in front of people are just a few of the daily tasks that suffer when a person loses teeth.
Bridges
If you’ve lost teeth due to accident, injury, or gum disease, we can create a permanent 'bridge' appliance to replace the missing teeth.
Root Canals
A root canal (or endodontic treatment) is a conservative alternative to removing and replacing a tooth that has suffered from internal infection. In each of your teeth, canals house a sensitive nerve, also called the tooth’s pulp. Should the nerve become damaged and infected, you’ll experience pain as a result of pressure building inside the tooth.
Brushing Right Can Save Your Life
Although most people are aware of the reasons behind proper, daily tooth brushing, few people realize that clean teeth and healthy gums can protect against a wide variety of other general, even life-threatening, health problems!
Bruxism
Sometimes people exposed to chronic stress or high-pressure situations can develop a damaging habit known as bruxism: unconsciously biting down with too much force at non-mealtimes.
Crowns: We've Got You Covered
If you’re self-conscious about your smile due to cracked, broken, decayed, or worn teeth, we can bring back your healthy, natural-looking smile with dental crowns.
DIAGNOdent
One of the most important things we do for our patients is to identify and fill cavities. Enter DIAGNOdent: a revolutionary, thorough means of detecting cavities.
Gum Disease: Serious But Stoppable
Although gum disease is terribly pervasive, it's also preventable. Conservative estimates report that up to 80% of people unknowingly have some amount of chronic gum disease.
Sodas and Sports Beverages Can Cause Irreversible Damage to Teeth
In warmer months, few people can resist an ice-cold cola. Even after a long hard work-out, more people are turning to sports and energy drinks. While these beverages may quench your thirst, new research indicates that they may also increase your chances of tooth decay and gum disease.
The Dangers of Tongue Piercing
If you’re thinking about getting your tongue pierced, you should know that many people who have undergone this procedure experience pain, swelling, taste loss, numbness, and drooling. Of course, that’s only a short list of the problems associated with tongue piercing.
