These brief articles will give you some of the basics on today’s modern dental techniques. Just call our office if you’d like more information about these or any other dental care topics.
 Amalgams/Mercury
Fillings - Why? - There's some
debate in the dental industry regarding the pros and cons of using silver
fillings, or dental amalgams, to fill cavities. At our office, we exclusively
use composite resins for several reasons.
Crowns - 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.
Fixed 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.
Porcelain Veneers - Porcelain veneers can often
provide people who have chipped, stained, discolored, unevenly spaced,
or even slightly crooked front teeth with a completely new-looking smile
in just a few simple appointments.
TMJ Disorder - TMJ disorder or TMD can cause a
wide variety of mild to severe symptoms, from jaw clicking and minor
discomfort to sharp pain in your temple, ear, jaw and teeth; it can also "lock" your
jaw open or shut, or dislocate the jaw altogether.
Onlays and Inlays - Strong, attractive and safe
alternatives to metal fillings.
