All- Ceramic Crowns & Bridges
Crowns are generally made of porcelain and fit on top of an existing tooth structure. Crowns also could be part of dental bridges in replacing a missing tooth/ or teeth instead of “partial” denture appliances.

Since the early 1970’s, all-ceramic crowns have given thousands of people the superior cosmetic results they desire. Because all-ceramic restorations contain no metal understructure, they are able to transmit the color of adjacent teeth and tooth structure. This enables them to blend more completely with the surrounding natural teeth. In addition to their chameleon-like quality of disappearing in the mouth, these restorations have become stronger than ever. Ask us if all-ceramic can be used for your treatment plan to provide you with the most natural looking smile available today!

Porcelain Veneers
Dental Porcelain Veneers are thin porcelain shells placed directly on top of the teeth. When applied properly, dental veneers can eliminate the gaps between teeth, tooth discoloration due to medications or smoking, and broken or chipped teeth.

In order to get the best result your dentist here will carefully examine the current condition of your teeth and gather all the necessary information. Then we present you with a wax replica of the final result. This wax replica of your smile make over will help us deliver the best outcome. Also, it helps you to picture the final result. With the aid of the Porcelain Veneers we can idealize the shape, length, color and other variables that will change your smile.

Composite (tooth color) Fillings
Also called “tooth colored fillings,” or “bonded aesthetic fillings,” these fillings are the same color as your teeth, so when you smile, no one sees unsightly gray fillings. Composite resin fillings require less tooth to be removed during the procedure and once in place, strengthen the tooth, insulate better against hot and cold, and if they wear down, are easily repaired.

Conventional Dentures
Full mouth dentures are made from rigid plastic and include a full set of teeth and gums. The appliance sits on your existing gums and is held in place by over-the-counter denture adhesive.

Cosmetic Dentistry
This term includes traditional dental procedures, such as crowns, and newer dental technologies, such as dental veneers and dental implants. With advances in technology, dentists can completely makeover your smile.

Dental Implants
With nearly 40 million Americans having lost some or all of their teeth, dental implants are a popular option for replacing those lost teeth. Implants are comfortable, attractive and will help you regain confidence in your smile. They are an alternative to bridges, partials or dentures. Implants can look and feel like natural teeth. An implant simply is a metallic titanium object that is inserted into your jaw bone to act like a natural tooth-root. Titanium isn’t recognized by the body’s immune system, so it is not rejected as an implant. It integrates with the jaw bone to give firm support to the artificial replacement that it will support.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
OSA is caused by a partial or complete blockage of the upper airway, which occurs during sleep. People with untreated OSA frequently stop breathing while sleeping – sometimes hundreds of times a night – and often for a minute or more. OSA has been linked to a range of serious medical conditions, from hypertension and cardiovascular disease to Attention Deficit Disorder. Because dentists see patients regularly and often treat an entire family, we’re in a unique position to help diagnose OSA.

This appliance move the lower jaw into a forward position, increase the three dimentional space in the air way tube which reduces air velocity and soft tissue vibration. By increasing the volumetric capacity of the airway and preventing soft tissue vibrations, snoring is eliminated. In clinical research studies, these dentist prescribed and fabricated custom made device have exhibited initial snoring prevention success rates of 70 to 100%.
