Invisalign®
Invisalign is a clear, removable aligner system designed to discreetly and comfortably straighten teeth without the need for traditional braces. Custom-crafted to meet your specific dental needs, each aligner works incrementally to shift your teeth into their ideal position, enhancing both the appearance and functionality of your smile. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are easily removable, allowing you the freedom to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine. With its innovative design and convenience, Invisalign provides a modern and effective alternative for achieving a beautifully aligned smile.
TMJ
TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) is a common condition that causes jaw pain, headaches, teeth grinding, and even ringing in the ears, often linked to misalignment of the teeth. Treatment from your dentist, such as bite realignment or the use of a custom night guard, can alleviate pain, prevent further damage, and restore comfort and function to your jaw.
Cleanings / Preventions
Protect your smile with comprehensive preventative care and routine cleanings, a collaborative effort to preserve strong teeth, healthy gums, and overall oral health. With regular checkups, professional cleanings, and treatments like fluoride and sealants, we work to prevent dental issues and ensure your smile remains healthy, confident, and beautiful for years to come.
Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, affects the gums and bones that support your teeth. It begins with plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, food debris, and saliva, which can harden into tartar if not removed. As plaque and tartar build up, they can damage the gums and bone, leading to symptoms such as swollen, red, and bleeding gums. Often painless in its early stages, periodontal disease can go unnoticed, with up to 80% of people being unaware they have it. If left untreated, it is the leading cause of tooth loss and has been linked to other serious health conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and respiratory issues. Smoking can also increase the risk of developing periodontal disease. Regular brushing, flossing, a balanced diet, and visits to the dentist are crucial in preventing and managing this condition. Key signs to watch for include bleeding gums, loose teeth, bad breath, and receding gums.
Fixed Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance that effectively replaces missing teeth, helping to restore your smile, improve chewing, and maintain facial structure. There are different types of bridges, and your dentist will guide you in choosing the best option, with the most common being a traditional bridge made of porcelain fused to metal, designed to fill the gap with artificial teeth and support healthy alignment.
Restorations
Restorations such as crowns are used to restore a tooth’s original shape, size, and function, offering protection and strength to teeth that are too damaged for fillings. Porcelain crowns, which are durable and match the natural color of your teeth, are commonly used for cosmetic enhancement or to repair broken, decayed, or fractured teeth, providing a natural-looking and lasting solution.
