Bonding/Composites

Bonding/composites are colored teeth material. Bonding or composites are used to fill cavities, repair chipped or broken teeth, or to cover stains. The procedure includes the application of the composite material in the needed area and the use of bonding light to harden the material, which is then smoothed and polished.

Orthodontics & Orthopedics

Orthodontics and orthopedic treatment is about moving teeth and having bone movement in order to make rooms for other teeth. Through orthodontic treatment, problems like crooked or crowded teeth, overbites or underbites, incorrect jaw position and disorders of the jaw joints are corrected.

Crowns

A natural crown is the visible part of your teeth. A replacement crown is a cover that is placed on top of the needed tooth. Crowns are used on teeth with advance decay and on badly, damaged, discolored, chipped teeth. Crowns are generally made out of porcelain in order to protect your teeth.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are used for crooked, severely discolored teeth and chipped teeth. A thin layer of enamel is removed and an impression is taken. A veneer is fabricated to fit the tooth. The veneer is bonded to the original tooth. Veneers are great in creating new smile in a short time. Veneers last a very long time.

Root Canals

Root canal is the treatment to save the tooth from an extraction.A process, which is performed when the pulp becomes damaged, and infection spreads to the bone and tissues. The process for a root canal includes affected tooth to be numbed followed by the removal of the pulp and the roots must be cleaned out. Once the tooth is clean and free of infection, the pulp chamber and root canals are filled with a material, and the tooth is filled. Sometimes the tooth may also need to be crowned.

Bridges

This procedure is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Fixed bridges cannot be taken out of your mouth as you might do with removable partial dentures. Bridges will last for years.

Bleaching

Teeth whitening are used to improve teeth discoloration. The bleaching solution is applied activated with light and then rinsed off. This procedure may need to be repeated. Teeth whitening are usually performed in one hour. The effect may last for years, but everything depends on the patient’s life style. Ex: cigarettes, coffee, tea.

Extractions

Extraction is the removal of a tooth. Some extractions are more difficult than others and sometimes an oral surgeon should perform an extraction. We do simple extractions and some surgical extractions. Complicated cases the patient is referred to an oral surgeon.
