Procedures Offered
Porcelain Inlays & Onlays
Ideal for restoring moderate tooth damage or decay, porcelain inlays and onlays provide a precise, custom-fit solution that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth while offering superior strength and longevity.
Crowns & Bridges
Crowns, or “caps,” cover natural teeth that are cracked, broken, worn down, or severely decayed, typically completed in one visit. The tooth is prepared, a digital impression taken, and the crown fabricated in-office. Bridges replace missing teeth and require two visits—first for a preparing, traditional impressions, and temporary, then for the permanent.
Dental Implant Placement & Restoration
Replace missing teeth with dental implants, the gold standard for tooth replacement. Our implant restoration services ensure a comfortable, natural-looking result.
Dentures: Partial, Complete, and Implant-Supported
Our doctors design full, partial, and implant-supported dentures for patients with missing teeth. Denture treatment is customized specifically to each patient, and we can help you decide which option works best for you.
Root Canal Therapy
Save a damaged or infected tooth with root canal treatment, eliminating pain and preserving your natural tooth.
Extractions
When we cannot save a tooth, we perform safe and efficient extractions while prioritizing your comfort and recovery.
