Cosmetic and restorative dentistry
Modern adhesive dentistry offers many restorative materials other than silver amalgam. Tooth colored materials now offer strong, esthetic, wear resistant restorations. These materials are bonded to existing tooth structures which, in essence "glues the walls of the tooth together," strengthening the tooth. Our office has phased out the use of silver amalgam fillings as the technology for white fillings has improved.
Cosmetic Bonding, Crowns and Porcelain Veneers
Smiles can be altered by the use of cosmetic bonding or porcelain veneers. We can repair chips, close spaces, remove discolorations, change colors and reshape teeth. These procedures are done with minimal enamel removal. Porcelain veneers are some of the most beautiful and durable restorations that we have to offer. Porcelain fused to gold crowns are indicated for teeth that have lost more tooth structure than can be restored by fillings alone. They also provide support to teeth that were broken down by root canal treatment or decay.
