Filling Choices for Every Need
Over the years, silver-mercury amalgam has been the standard filling material used by dental practices. They are effective, cost-effective, and usually covered by insurance. We also offer modern, state-of-the-art restorations that are a natural-looking white, contain no metal, and can actually strengthen teeth. One of the main reasons our patients are choosing the white bonded fillings has to do with the appearance—nearly invisible, compared to the metal filling. They also securely bond to the healthy part of the tooth, decreasing the chance of future decay. We are proud to provide both alternatives, and will be happy to discuss which option is best for you.

The Necessity of Hygiene Visits
One important reason to visit the dentist is to have your teeth cleaned by a professional hygienist. Plaque and tartar develop on teeth over time. Plaque is soft and sticky, but daily brushing can usually remove most of it. However, plaque hardens into tartar, which is beyond the abilities of a typical toothbrush and floss. Tartar builds up below the gumline as well as on the surface of the teeth structure. If plaque and tartar aren’t removed, you risk more serious problems with your teeth and gums later. Recent research demonstrates a strong link between untreated gum disease and serious ailments such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Having your teeth cleaned on a regular basis is one of the best things you can do to maintain good health.

Missing Teeth? Dental Implants Help You ‘Grow’ New Ones
Dental implants are an ideal way to replace missing teeth. From the front of your smile, where they are most visible, to the back, where they provide eating stability, implants can help you reclaim a beautiful and healthy smile. Unlike bridges or removable dentures, which rest on top of the gums, dental implants are placed beneath the gums. The “tooth” placed on an implant appears real, because it comes through the gums just like the original did – it’s like growing a new tooth! Implants can replace any number of lost teeth. Even those without teeth can benefit from implants, because they can replace their dentures with teeth that don’t move around while talking and don’t need to be removed for sleeping. Since we handle the entire process from implant placement to crown fabrication, there’s no need for a referral to another office.
