- Dental ExaminationRegular dental checkups and periodontal examinations are important for maintaining your health and the health of your smile. You don’t have to lose teeth to periodontal disease, and by practicing good oral hygiene at home, you can significantly reduce your chances of ever getting gum disease. Remember to brush regularly, clean between your teeth, eat a balanced diet, and schedule regular dental visits to help keep your smile healthy.

- Fillings
- Resin CompositeNewer dental fillings include ceramic and plastic compounds that mimic the appearance of natural teeth. These compounds, often called composite resins, are usually used on the front teeth where a natural appearance is important, but they can also be used on the back teeth depending on the location and extent of the tooth decay.
- VeneersIndirect fillings generally require two or more visits. They include inlays, onlays, and veneers fabricated with gold, base metal alloys, ceramics, or composites. They are used when a tooth has too much damage to support a filling but not enough to necessitate a crown. During the first visit, the dentist prepares the tooth and makes an impression of the area to be restored. The dentist then places a temporary covering over the prepared tooth. The impression is sent to a dental laboratory, which creates the dental restoration. At the next appointment, the dentist cements the restoration into the prepared cavity and adjusts it as needed.
- CrownsCrowns are a cosmetic restoration used to strengthen a tooth or improve its shape. Crowns are most often used for teeth that are broken, worn, or partially destroyed by tooth decay.
- BridgesA bridge may be used to replace missing teeth, help maintain the shape of your face, and alleviate stress on your bite.
- Restorative DentistryDental implants are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth, designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Dental implants are the best restorative dentistry option for giving you a confident smile and the ability to eat and speak with ease.

- DenturesYes, dental implants can be used to replace multiple missing teeth. Dental implants are often the preferred option for patients who are missing several teeth, as they offer several advantages over traditional tooth replacement options like dentures or bridges. The number of implants required will depend on the number and location of the missing teeth as well as your individual needs and goals.
