Thanks to advances in dental ceramics, dental crowns today don't have to be fabricated from metal or have a metal substrate. We can now fabricate all-ceramic crowns that offer the benefits of being metal-free, durable, long-lasting, and as beautiful as a natural tooth.

Ceramic crowns are ideal for front teeth and visible areas where aesthetics are important. They can be color-matched to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a restoration that looks and feels like your own tooth. The material is also biocompatible, making it an excellent choice for patients with metal sensitivities.

The procedure typically requires two visits: the first to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and the second to place the permanent crown. Temporary crowns are provided between visits to protect the prepared tooth and maintain your smile's appearance.

Invisalign® is a modern alternative to traditional metal braces that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. These custom-made aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene, making them a popular choice for adults and teens.

The treatment process begins with a digital scan of your teeth, which is used to create a 3D treatment plan showing how your teeth will move from their current position to their final, straightened position. You'll receive a series of aligners, each worn for about two weeks before moving to the next set.

Invisalign® can address a wide range of orthodontic issues including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete their treatment in 12-18 months. Regular checkups ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.

Professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile and remove stains caused by food, drinks, smoking, and aging. We offer both in-office and take-home whitening options to meet your needs and preferences.

In-office whitening provides immediate results in a single visit, using a high-concentration whitening gel activated by a special light. This method can lighten your teeth by several shades in just one appointment. Take-home whitening involves custom-fitted trays and professional-strength whitening gel that you use at home over a period of days or weeks.

Professional whitening is safer and more effective than over-the-counter products because it's supervised by dental professionals and uses higher-quality materials. We can also address specific staining issues and provide personalized recommendations for maintaining your results.

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored material designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They can be used to correct a wide range of cosmetic issues including discolored, chipped, misaligned, or worn teeth.

Veneers are typically made from porcelain or composite resin. Porcelain veneers are more durable and stain-resistant, while composite veneers can be completed in a single visit and are more affordable. Both types can be color-matched to your natural teeth or made slightly whiter for a brighter smile.

The procedure involves removing a small amount of enamel from the front of the tooth to make room for the veneer. Impressions are taken to create your custom veneers, which are then bonded to your teeth. With proper care, veneers can last 10-15 years or longer.

Dental emergencies can be painful and frightening, but we're here to help when you need immediate care. We provide prompt emergency treatment for a wide range of urgent dental problems including severe toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and other dental injuries.

Common dental emergencies include severe tooth pain, broken or chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, lost or broken fillings, abscesses, and soft tissue injuries. If you experience a dental emergency, contact us immediately. For knocked-out teeth, time is critical - the sooner you can get to our office, the better the chances of saving the tooth.

We understand that dental emergencies don't always happen during regular office hours. We make every effort to accommodate emergency patients and provide same-day treatment when possible. Our goal is to relieve your pain quickly and prevent further damage to your oral health.

The All-on-4 treatment concept offers an implant-based solution to patients who have lost all of their upper and/or lower teeth. This remarkable method of care helps patients quickly rebuild complete and beautiful smiles. With All-on-4, your new, and complete set of implant-supported replacement teeth feel secure, stable, and much like your very own.

This innovative technique uses just four strategically placed dental implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. The implants are positioned at angles that maximize contact with available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting procedures. This makes All-on-4 an excellent option for patients who have experienced significant bone loss.

The procedure typically involves placing the implants and attaching a temporary set of teeth on the same day. After a healing period of several months, during which the implants integrate with the bone, you'll receive your permanent, custom-made replacement teeth. All-on-4 provides a fixed, permanent solution that allows you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

A high-tech alternative to traditional dentures, the ALL-On-6 technique creates a comfortable and stable full set of upper and/or lower teeth using six strategically placed specialized dental implants. While conventional removable dentures can effectively replace a full complement of lost or missing teeth, ALL-On-6 dental implants provide a fixed and permanent method of reestablishing a complete set of teeth. This restores patients with a sense of having their own teeth and offers an improved quality of life as they can once again eat and speak with confidence. With ALL-On-6 dental implants the need for messy denture adhesives or having to take one's dentures out to clean and sanitize them is eliminated. The replacement teeth are cared for in very much the same way as a set of natural teeth.

All-On-6 dental implants offer a less invasive and quicker way to restore a full upper or lower set of teeth than treatment with conventional dental implants. Requiring just six implants per jaw for a complete set of functional teeth, All-On-6 treatment may reduce the need for preliminary bone grafting surgery. Utilizing the All-On-6 method, temporary teeth can often be placed right away with a permanent set to follow within just a few months after the implants become fully integrated with the surrounding bone.

This treatment is particularly beneficial for patients who want the stability and function of dental implants but may not have sufficient bone density for traditional implant placement. The six-implant design provides excellent support and distribution of chewing forces, making it suitable for patients who want to enjoy a full range of foods without restrictions.

A dental bridge offers a highly effective, stable, and fixed solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike removable partial dentures that clasp on to the remaining teeth, a dental bridge relies on the support of crowns attached to teeth adjacent to the edentulous area (space without teeth) or strategically placed dental implants. In addition to restoring the look, feel, and function of a natural smile, they also prevent the teeth from shifting, thereby protecting the alignment of a patient's bite.

Bridges can replace one or more missing teeth and are custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth. The procedure typically requires two or three visits: the first to prepare the supporting teeth and take impressions, and subsequent visits to place the permanent bridge. Temporary bridges are provided between visits to protect the prepared teeth and maintain your smile's appearance.

There are several types of bridges available, including traditional bridges, cantilever bridges, and Maryland bridges. The type recommended depends on the location of the missing teeth and the condition of the supporting teeth. With proper care and maintenance, dental bridges can last 10-15 years or longer.

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They can replace all teeth (complete dentures) or just some teeth (partial dentures). Modern dentures are comfortable, natural-looking, and can significantly improve your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Complete dentures are used when all teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Partial dentures not only fill in the spaces created by missing teeth but also prevent other teeth from changing position. Both types can be made from various materials including acrylic, metal, and flexible materials.

The process of getting dentures involves several appointments to ensure a proper fit and natural appearance. We take detailed impressions and measurements to create dentures that fit comfortably and look natural. Adjustments may be needed as your mouth adapts to the new dentures, and we provide ongoing care to ensure they continue to fit properly as your mouth changes over time.

Dental implants are the most advanced and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of titanium posts that are surgically placed in the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots, topped with custom-made crowns that look and function like natural teeth.

Implants offer several advantages over other tooth replacement options. They provide the most natural look and feel, preserve jawbone health, and don't require alteration of adjacent healthy teeth. They're also extremely durable and can last a lifetime with proper care. Unlike dentures, implants are fixed in place and won't slip or move when you eat or speak.

The implant process typically involves several phases: placement of the implant, a healing period for osseointegration (when the implant fuses with the bone), and placement of the final restoration. We use advanced technology and techniques to ensure precise placement and optimal results. Implants can replace single teeth, multiple teeth, or support full dentures.

Night guards are custom-fitted oral appliances worn during sleep to protect your teeth from the damaging effects of bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching). These comfortable, thin plastic devices create a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing wear and damage while reducing jaw muscle tension.

Bruxism can cause a variety of problems including worn tooth enamel, chipped or broken teeth, increased tooth sensitivity, jaw pain, and headaches. Night guards help prevent these issues by absorbing the forces generated during grinding and clenching. They also help reduce muscle tension in the jaw, which can alleviate associated pain and discomfort.

We create custom night guards using impressions of your teeth to ensure a perfect fit and maximum comfort. Unlike over-the-counter options, custom night guards are precisely fitted to your mouth and are more durable and comfortable. Regular checkups ensure your night guard continues to fit properly and remains effective.

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Dental sleep medicine offers effective treatment options for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea through custom oral appliances that help keep the airway open during sleep.

Oral appliances for sleep apnea work by repositioning the jaw and tongue to prevent the airway from collapsing during sleep. These devices are custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably and are much less intrusive than CPAP machines. They're particularly effective for patients who have difficulty tolerating CPAP therapy.

Treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine if you're a good candidate for oral appliance therapy. We work closely with your sleep physician to ensure coordinated care. The appliance is custom-fitted and adjusted to provide optimal results, and regular follow-up appointments ensure continued effectiveness.

Snoring appliances are custom-made oral devices that help reduce or eliminate snoring by repositioning the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep. These comfortable, non-invasive devices are an effective alternative to surgery for many patients who suffer from chronic snoring.

Snoring occurs when the soft tissues in the throat vibrate as air passes through a partially blocked airway. Snoring appliances work by gently moving the lower jaw forward, which helps open the airway and reduce the vibration that causes snoring. They're particularly effective for patients who snore due to jaw position or tongue placement.

We create custom snoring appliances using impressions of your teeth to ensure a comfortable, secure fit. The devices are adjustable to find the optimal position for maximum effectiveness. Regular follow-up appointments help ensure the appliance continues to work effectively and remains comfortable.

Custom sports mouthguards provide essential protection for athletes of all ages and skill levels. These custom-fitted devices help prevent dental injuries, concussions, and other oral trauma that can occur during sports activities. Unlike generic, over-the-counter mouthguards, custom mouthguards offer superior protection and comfort.

Sports mouthguards work by absorbing and distributing the forces of impact, protecting not only the teeth but also the lips, cheeks, tongue, and jaw. They can help prevent broken teeth, cut lips, and even reduce the risk of concussion by providing a cushion between the upper and lower jaws.

We create custom sports mouthguards using impressions of your teeth to ensure a perfect fit. The custom fit allows for normal breathing and speaking while providing maximum protection. Mouthguards should be replaced regularly, especially for growing children, to ensure continued protection and proper fit.

Our on-site dental laboratory allows us to provide high-quality, custom dental restorations with greater precision and faster turnaround times. Having a dental lab in our office means we can closely monitor the fabrication process and make adjustments as needed to ensure optimal results.

The dental lab is equipped with advanced technology and staffed by skilled technicians who create crowns, bridges, veneers, and other custom restorations. This in-house capability allows us to maintain strict quality control and provide same-day services for certain procedures when appropriate.

Working with our own lab team enables better communication and collaboration between the clinical and technical aspects of your treatment. This results in restorations that not only look natural and beautiful but also function optimally and last longer.
