It is very important to have regular cleanings and examinations of your mouth, teeth, and gums. The greatest single factor for avoiding dental problems is how well you clean your mouth. Most dental professionals recommend routine checkups twice a year. The regular cleanings are necessary to clean areas of your teeth that your toothbrush and floss won’t reach. Keeping these appointments helps to prevent and eradicate disease at its earliest stages.
Sugar and acid in your mouth create an environment where mouth germs and bacteria can start to eat their way into the surfaces of our teeth like worms into an apple. These cavities start out small but if not treated can become larger over time. Once cavities grow and spread the center of the tooth, toothaches can occur. The larger the cavity, the more complicated and costly in can be to fix it.
For cosmetic enhancement and/or restoring extensively damaged teeth the best treatment may be a full or partial coverage (Veneer) crown. Crowns are ceramic or metal encasements that are placed on top of the teeth to protect them when there excessively weak or damaged. Veneers are partial encasements that cover the front face of the tooth.

When looking for solutions for replacing missing teeth, dental implants have become the premier treatment option. The benefits they provide include improved appearance and self-esteem with “secure” teeth, more security in biting and chewing, and preservation of natural jaw strength by fighting bone loss.. Implants are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed in the site of teeth that were removed. When the bone heals tightly to them, they can serve as anchorage for one or many artificial teeth in a number of arrangements.
Dentures are tried and true solutions for replacing missing or removed teeth. They typically can be created to securely fit when in place and removed from the mouth when desired. Our skilled technicians are experts at creating life-like dentures that restores the natural appearance and improves overall functionality when speaking and eating.
At the center of every tooth is a hollow space that contains a nerve and vein. If the tooth is broken to expose the nerve or a cavity introduces bacteria the infects the nerve, the patient will need to undergo treatment of the canal space. The procedure clears the canal chamber, sterilizes the canal chamber, and finally seals the canal chamber so that nothing can reenter the space.
Excessive damage to tooth or gums can eliminate the possibility of saving a tooth. Bad positioning and placement can indicate removal as well. Though usually the last resort, tooth removal may sometime be the treatment of choice.
