How long do dental fillings last?

Dental fillings typically last for several years, but their lifespan can vary depending on factors such as the type of filling material used, the location of the filling, and your oral hygiene habits.

Are root canals painful?

While root canals' reputation may be intimidating, modern techniques and anesthesia ensure that the procedure is comfortable for patients. You may experience some mild discomfort or soreness afterward, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

How do I care for my dentures?

To maintain the appearance and function of your dentures, it's important to clean them daily with a denture brush and mild cleanser. Remove your dentures overnight to give your gums a chance to rest, and be sure to schedule regular dental check-ups for adjustments and maintenance.

Our Restorative Dentistry Options

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings repair teeth damaged by decay or trauma. We offer tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both strength and aesthetics.

Same-Day Crowns

With our state-of-the-art technology, we can create custom crowns in a single appointment. Same-day crowns restore the shape, size, and function of damaged or weakened teeth, restoring your smile in no time.

Bridges

Dental bridges are an excellent solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. These prosthetic devices consist of one or more artificial teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants, restoring your smile's appearance and function.

Root Canals

If you're experiencing severe tooth pain or infection, a root canal may be necessary to save your tooth. Our skilled team performs gentle and precise root canal treatments to alleviate discomfort and preserve your natural tooth structure.

Full & Partial Dentures

Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. We offer both full and partial dentures tailored to fit comfortably and securely in your mouth.

Inlays & Onlays

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used to repair teeth with moderate to severe damage or decay. These conservative restorations preserve more of your natural tooth structure while strengthening and enhancing its appearance.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Our team will begin by conducting a thorough examination of your oral health, including digital X-rays, to assess the condition of your teeth and gums. Based on our findings, we will recommend the most suitable treatment options to restore your smile.

During your procedure, we will ensure your comfort and safety every step of the way. We use advanced techniques and technology to deliver precise, efficient, and minimally invasive care.

After your treatment is complete, we will provide you with comprehensive aftercare instructions to promote healing and maintain the longevity of your restorations. Our goal is to empower you to take control of your oral health and enjoy a beautiful, functional smile for years to come.
