Crowns
Crowns

Dental crowns are caps that fit over a damaged tooth. They look, act, and feel like your natural tooth, blending into your smile perfectly. Crowns cover teeth that are decayed, injured, highly sensitive, or otherwise compromised. Our crowns are made of porcelain and cemented onto your teeth. This makes them highly durable and aesthetically pleasing at the same time.

Tooth Extraction
Tooth Extraction

Sometimes, teeth are damaged or decayed beyond repair. Other times, they may not fit comfortably inside your mouth. When no other option remains, extractions might be necessary. Pulling out an infected tooth might prevent the disease from spreading, and a difficult wisdom tooth could leave extraction as the only choice. Extractions are safe, and options for replacing the tooth are plenty.

Braces
Braces

Our braces work with the Tip-Edge System™ to get our patients the smile of their dreams. We use light wire orthodontics and traditional brackets for a fast, pain-free procedure and permanently straight teeth. Our braces are available to patients of all ages, with treatments lasting between just 6-24 months or less. We are here to get you smiling with confidence.

Palatal Expansion
Palatal Expansion

The upper jaw of patients may not be wide enough to accommodate their teeth, correctly bite down on food, or wear braces. With the use of a palatal expander, the upper jaw is stretched to fit correctly into the mouth. The treatment is pain-free and takes around 6 months. It’s a common procedure in children and young teens before they get their braces.

Pediatric Dental Emergencies
Pediatric Dental Emergencies

Your child’s teeth can get injured in all sorts of ways. A baseball game may result in a chipped tooth, or dance class might leave an entire gap in their smile. Be it a small fracture or a knocked-out tooth, we offer endodontic procedures for repairing and replacing injured teeth. From porcelain crowns to dental implants, we’ll fix your kid’s smile and restore their teeth no matter the injury.

Tooth Filling
Tooth Filling

Sometimes, children’s teeth may chip, break, or develop cavities. We offer tooth filling for kids needing a durable and aesthetic fix for their damaged tooth. Using white-bonded filling material ensures a natural look, and eliminates metal sensitivity from traditional filling substances. Your kid’s tooth will be restored and functioning as good as new in no time.

Pulpotomies
Pulpotomies

Pulpotomies are minorly invasive procedures, most often carried out on the primary teeth of children. They are used to save and restore a tooth that has a severe cavity. Pulpotmies prevent the spreading of infection to other teeth. They are done by removing the inflamed pulp from the tooth’s inner chamber. Pulpotomies are pain-free procedures that take around 30 minutes.

Preventative Care
Preventative Care

The best dental procedure is one that can be avoided. By having your kids follow preventative care habits like regular brushing and flossing, you’ll reduce their chances of dental complications. Staying away from sugary foods and drinks will help prevent cavities and discoloration. Regular checkups, cleanings, and screenings are also recommended to maintain their bright and healthy smile.
