Preventive Dentistry: The foundation for a beautiful smile is a set of beautiful, healthy gums. This is why your dental exams and cleanings are so important. Regular visits to our office will ensure that your teeth and gums will remain strong and healthy, enabling you to keep your beautiful smile for a lifetime. Healthy teeth and healthy gums mean a pain free cleanings.

Technology: Our practice is strives to be updated on all the latest dental technology available. We utilize digital radiography which is safer (90% less radiation), and faster (2 seconds from your mouth to the computer screen) than conventional x-rays. And they show us much more information about your teeth and gums making a good diagnosis easier and more accurate. We use Intra-oral cameras that allow you to see exactly what we see on a large screen, and we use the highest quality proven materials, ensuring that you will get the best possible results.

Photos of teeth: Imagine looking at teeth as though you were looking through a microscope. We take photos of teeth to help us to spot potential problems like cracked fillings, fractures, and early tooth decay. The pictures are a great way to see what we see in your mouth, making it even easier to understand your dental condition and treatment options. With early diagnosis, we can treat these potential problems before they become big problems.

Restorative Dentistry: There are times when we'll need to repair your teeth. Perhaps there is a new cavity, or your old damaged fillings need replacing, or a broken tooth might need a crown. Bridges or implants can fill the gaps caused by missing teeth. Whatever restorative treatment is chosen, our staff will provide gentle, caring treatment while returning your mouth to its optimum health.

Cosmetic Dentistry: Uses a number of ways to enhance the appearance of your teeth. Treatments are available to make crooked teeth look straighter, to improve the appearance of teeth and to make discolored teeth look whiter. Some of the option we provide are:

Veneers:. A porcelain veneer is a technical term for what is really a "covering" for a tooth. If we want to change the shape or color of a tooth, or group of teeth, we can do so dramatically with this minimally invasive procedure. By a process of minimal or no removal of tooth structure, and then the careful build up of porcelain at the laboratory, we can eliminate twists and turns in the tooth, teeth placed in the incorrect position, close unsightly gaps and when working on groups of teeth we can re-model your smile.

Bonding: An enamel-like material that is applied to a damaged tooth, and then hardened. Bonding will fill cracks, chips and worn areas of your teeth, giving you a healthy, younger-looking smile.

Tooth Colored Fillings: You now have options, white tooth colored fillings or metal fillings. Cosmetic white fillings are an attractive and in many cases a better alternative. We can replace your defective, worn, old metal fillings with white restorations for a more natural-looking smile.

Whitening: Nothing is more striking than a bright, white smile. We can whiten and brighten your teeth in one visit. With the revolutionary Opalessence in-office whitening system, you can walk away with a younger, whiter smile in about an hour. We also offer home bleaching products, and will create custom-made bleaching trays for your use at home. Sometimes this is a better option if you have had sensitivity in the past.

Crowns: If a tooth has been broken, or weakened by a lot of decay or a large filling, a crown (or cap) can be fitted to strengthen it. Crowns are shaped like natural teeth. For teeth near the front of the mouth crowns are usually made of porcelain that we match to the rest of your teeth. Crowns on back teeth may be made of porcelain or gold.

Inlays and onlays: Inlays and onlays are a hybrid of crowns and fillings; you can think of them as 1/2 or 3/4 crowns. Like crowns, they are made in a laboratory to custom fit your tooth. They are a little more technique sensitive compared to a crown. Inlays and onlays are very strong and, in some circumstances, may be more durable than crowns and fillings. They are suitable for the grinding surfaces of the molar teeth and can be made out of gold, porcelain or composite material.

Implants: Eat, speak and smile with confidence. You no longer have to suffer with the inconvenience caused by missing teeth or wearing dentures. Dental implants are a modern day miracle that can replace one or all of your missing teeth. Implants are a strong and comfortable alternative.

TMJ Jaw Issues: Do you suffer from sensitive teeth, headaches, migraines, sore jaw, sore facial muscles, grinding, clenching. These can all be related to jaw issues (TMJD or Bruxism). Jaw problems can develop if there are changes in the way your teeth meet when you bite together, for example after having lots of teeth removed. Another cause of jaw joint problems is previous jaw injuries, such as dislocation. A common problem affecting the jaw joint is called temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD), where the jaw joint does not open or close correctly. Older people may get pain in their jaw joint due to arthritis, when the joint becomes worn with age.
Symptoms of TMJD; the most common symptoms include:

* pain - usually a dull ache in and around the ear, cheek bone or neck
* Sensitive teeth, age inappropriate wear of teeth, flat teeth, chipped teeth.
* headache, especially in the morning
* jaw joint making noise: clicking, popping, cracking, grating, crunching
* jaw locking - either open or closed
* being unable to open your mouth properly (3 fingers)
