Unlike traditional fillings made from silver, mercury, and other metals that may fracture teeth, today's advanced materials allow us to deliver tooth-colored fillings that look completely natural and blend with your tooth structure to become virtually invisible.

For over 100 years, dentistry has restored teeth primarily with a material made of mercury and silver. It has done its' job well, although we have had to live with its' weaknesses. Those weaknesses consist of cracking teeth due to expansion of the material and the way the teeth had to be prepared, and restorations turning black as the silver in the material corrodes.

Now we have many ways to provide tooth colored restorations. We can use adhesives to bond filling to teeth, reducing leakage, stain, and new decay. Larger areas of damage can be restored with a bonded custom fabricated porcelain inlay or onlay, called a CEREC. Discolored or misaligned teeth can often be corrected cosmetically with Lumineers. We can provide a healthy and strong smile with these exciting new technologies in restorative

Dental crowns are more visually attractive because they are made out of tooth-colored materials – either ceramic or composite resin. These materials are perfect for onlays (partials crowns) as well as full crowns and porcelain veneers. When used for partial crowns instead of amalgam (metal combined with mercury), you can avoid concerns regarding the health risks associated with mercury, and these restorations feel and look like part of the natural tooth structure. Moreover, crown restorations chemically bond to teeth and thus can expand and contract with changes in temperature, which prevents cracking and breakage from occurring.

Bridges may be the best answer for those who have seriously damaged or missing teeth. Those black lines at your gumline, and white, dead-looking crowns, can be a thing of the past. We use the most advanced materials and technologies available, and can provide you with a metal free smile. Click here to schedule consultation.

Early management of bacterial decay provides for a more conservative treatment option. If the bacterial decay has progressed to the point where it may damage the dental pulp a proactive measure is needed. In this situation, root canal therapy is performed. In modern dentistry, root therapy can often be performed in one comfortable visit.
