Restorative Dentistry is the art and science of reconstructing existing teeth and aesthetically replacing those beyond repair or missing. Whether it's a loose filling, a broken crown, or compromised full or partial dentures, we'll find a way of mending and beautifying your smile. And along with it, your self-confidence.
Implants are a remarkable achievement in dental science. They are permanent restorations anchored in the jaw just like your own teeth. Most people who want dental implants need to steady a shifty denture, or bridge a gap due to lost teeth. Whether as a single-tooth implant, or implants for the entire jaw, dental implants can be an attractive and long-lasting alternative to fixed bridges or partial dentures.
New porcelain restorations are lighter and much more advanced, with a translucence that's wonderfully natural. And they play an important role in cosmetic dentistry today.
If you wear dentures, it may be time for a change. First, because as you get older, your mouth changes shape. The dentures that were fine for years no longer fit well, giving your face a worn, tired look. New dentures could actually make you look years younger. Second, dentures are improving all the time. New advances mean a more perfect fit and a beautiful, more natural look. You owe it to yourself to check out what the dramatic difference in today's dentures can do for you!
People who suffer from chronic headaches without finding any relief should make an appointment with their dentist. The reason? Their headaches may be caused by TMJ disorder, and their pain is the result of a bad bite. Patients never imagine that something so simple can cause so much pain, but it's true. A bad bite can put the jaw out of alignment with the skull, resulting in a cluster of symptoms — from head and ear aches to loud jaw clicking, and pain in the neck, shoulder and back. The good news is that we can diagnose and treat TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder and provide pain relief without strong pain medications.
