Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain Veneers are used to correct cosmetic defects on teeth. Cosmetic imperfections that can be corrected with veneers include teeth that are slightly crooked or stained. There may be gaps or chips or the teeth may be uneven. The advantage of veneers over crowns is that the teeth don’t require extensive shaping prior to the procedure. Sometimes this means that little or no anesthetic is required. However, some teeth will require more extensive shaping prior to receiving veneers.

Bridges
Bridges are vital in protecting not only the balance of your bite and chewing motion, but the integrity of your facial features as well. A person who leaves missing teeth unattended may permanently alter the shape and contour of his or her face. Bridges easily restore not only the balance of the mouth, but typically look and feel as natural as your own teeth.

Crowns
The affected tooth is reshaped so that it can be augmented by a natural-looking synthetic material, usually porcelain. This procedure is also beneficial for teeth that show wear and tear or are crooked.

Dentures
To ensure the most natural and comfortable result, dentures must be custom fit to an individual's mouth and gums. Dentures that are correctly developed and fitted will restore a natural looking and secure bite and smile.

Implants
Implants utilize a titanium or ceramic "root" positioned within the jawbone, to which an artificial tooth or crown is attached. Implants usually look and feel most like natural teeth of any replacement procedure.

Cosmetic Fillings
There are different composite filling materials to choose from and you and your dentist should decide which one best suits your needs. Early detection of cavities is the best way to treat them, as many can be filled without a needle.

Preventive Dentistry
Preventing a toothache is always easier and less expensive than curing one. We recommend everyone have regular check-ups, cleanings and exams at least twice a year to diagnose any problems. Tooth decay, faulty restorations and tooth grinding are serious problems which can have significant long term effects on your health. Proper home care is just as important and as a team, we will make sure your dental health is in top shape.

Endodontal
Root canal treatment is carried out when the pulp (nerve) is either inflamed or dead. The pulp is a tissue made up of nerves, connective tissue and blood vessels. The purpose of root canal treatment is to remove the inflamed tissue or bacteria inside the root canal and thus allow the surrounding tissues to heal.

What are the symptoms that indicate the need for root canal therapy?
Symptom 1: Moderate to severe lingering toothache when having hot or cold foods.
Symptom 2: Toothache pain so intense it wakes you up at night.
Symptom 3: Pain when chewing or biting.
Symptom 4: Swelling on your gum which when pressed may release blood or pus.
Symptom 5: Pain that starts in one tooth and spreads to other regions of the jaw or head e.g. an infected lower molar (back tooth) may cause you to feel pain in the ear! * Sometimes, however there may be no symptoms. If properly performed and under normal circumstances, a root canal treated tooth can last you a lifetime
