Dental Implants
Implants provide the foundation for replacement teeth that look, function and feel like natural teeth. They are an excellent alternative to other restorative options that necessitate reducing natural tooth structure on otherwise healthy teeth. We partner with excellent specialists who have extensive experience in the placement of the implants. We then restore the implant with natural looking; comfortable implant crowns to give you back the function and appearance of real teeth.
Crowns and Bridges
Many of us have large, old fillings in our teeth. At some point they will wear out and need to be replaced. In some cases there is not enough tooth structure to support a new filling and a crown is needed to minimize the chance of further breakdown or actual breakage of the tooth. In these cases we recommend a crown which can be made with porcelain to match the color of your natural teeth. In the case of a missing tooth, a bridge can be placed to fill the gap of the missing tooth.
Silver Amalgam Fillings
Many of us have the traditional silver amalgam fillings that have been used for decades. Dental amalgam is a stable alloy made by combining elemental mercury, silver, tin copper and other metallic elements. Although dental amalgam continues to be a safe, commonly used restorative material, some concern has been raised because of its mercury content. However, the mercury in amalgam combines with other metals to render it stable and safe for use in filling teeth. Because amalgam fillings can withstand high chewing loads, they have remained a useful restoration. For many people they remain the best treatment option.
