A dental crown is a fixed prosthetic device that people can opt to get to address different dental problems. They are different, however, from other common dental devices such as dentures or Invisalign® aligners which you can remove and clean daily; crowns are cemented onto the teeth or an existing implant. They can only be installed or removed by a qualified dentist. (more…)

Implants are the way of the future. But they are more and more becoming common place. It’s a service that is provided by more and more dentists every year. Implants are, in most cases, the best way to replace an existing tooth. They’re the closest thing to recreating your natural smile. In cases where patients have a missing tooth, the benefit of placing an implant versus doing a bridge or possibly doing a partial denture, is that you do not have to touch either tooth, in front or in back of that missing space as you would with a bridge.

Veneers are made of porcelain that is directly bonded to the tooth. They are no more likely to fracture or break than natural teeth when properly bonded.
Veneers are a very strong, thin shell of porcelain. When the dentist prepares teeth for a veneer, he only removes fractions of millimeters of enamel from the patients tooth structure allowing the placed veneer to take up the space left behind replacing the original tooth structure. Once the veneer is placed, it’s cemented in.

The teeth whitening process begins by taking an impression of the top teeth and an impression of the bottom teeth. We then make the actual bleaching trays which are like little plastic molds of your teeth that fit around the teeth. We provide the patient with the bleaching trays once they’re made, and we provide them with bleaching gel as well.

A Crown can be made from different materials but all serve the same functions. Crowns can be all porcelain, gold, metal, or porcelain fused to metal. Teeth in the front usually utilize a crown that is porcelain fused to metal. The metal acts as a substructure giving the crown more resistance to fracture, with an outer layer of porcelain. You have the strength of the metal, but then you also have the aesthetics of porcelain.
