Tooth-Colored Fillings
In the past, dentists would use a compound of metals, called amalgam, to fill cavities. This would often result in unwanted side-effects like dental sensitivity and discoloration of the tooth, among the most obvious downside of highlighting the damaged tooth. Our team uses biocompatible composite resin that can be custom shaded to match the color of your enamel to fill cavities. Because it’s able to fuse with the tooth enamel, less of your tooth structure will need to be altered to place the filling as well.

Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are cap-like structures that we can place over the biting surface of teeth that have large fillings or are severely misshapen or damaged to help support and protect them. They can be crafted from a variety of materials, including metal-free porcelain and ceramic, that are incredibly durable and built to stand the test of time, or metal, depending on your desires.
Root Canal Treatment
If a tooth is severely impacted by decay, it can become infected. This is when harmful bacteria slowly erode the tooth’s surface, eventually gaining access to the pulp within the inner chamber. When they attack this collection of tissue and nerves it can cause a persistent and severe toothache that can only be remedied with a root canal. Once the treatment is complete, we’ll protect your tooth with a custom crown.

Tooth Extractions
If a tooth is damaged beyond repair, we may recommend extracting it to prevent any problems from spreading to surrounding teeth. In this case, we’ll gently remove your affected tooth and come up with a treatment plan to replace it so you can enjoy a smile that’s healthy and complete.
