Fillings & Crowns

At our office, we offer traditional & tooth colored fillings. Tooth colored material can be used both as fillings & to repair defects in the teeth. Because they are tooth-colored, it is difficult to distinguish them from natural teeth. These fillings are often used on the front teeth where a natural appearance is important. They can be used on the back teeth as well depending on the location & extent of the tooth decay.

Crowns cover & support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't enough tooth left. It can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that's already broken. A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. It's also used to cover a dental implant. A crown can make your tooth stronger & improve its appearance.

Preventive Dentistry

This includes our regular dental hygiene visits, sealants, mouthguards, and patient/parent education. We place a high emphasis on sealants, which are effective in preventing tooth decay on the biting surfaces of chewing teeth. This plastic coating, which is clear or tooth colored, is applied to the deep pits & grooves. This seals them in the areas where decay is most likely to begin. At less than half the cost of conventional fillings, without anesthetic or drilling, sealants are one of the most important preventive services we have.
