- Dental SealantsCosmetic enhancements that a general dental practice can provide include a special whitening process that can remove up to eight shades in one hour and as many as 15 shades with more time.

These can address such issues as...
- FillingsAll of these are increasingly requested to replace traditional silver amalgam fillings, out of concern for their mercury content and cosmetic reasons.
- Resin CompositeThe most popular filling material are made of composite resin, a material that can be made to match the color of your own teeth and last 3 to 10 years, but they stain easily from coffee, tea, and tobacco unless you clean them immediately afterwards.
- VeneersNo dental material or procedure has as many applications to improve a smile as veneers, which are very thin slices of hard cosmetic porcelain that are affixed to the front of teeth that are flawed in some way.
- CrownsTeeth often need to be extracted because one or more were loosened or fractured in a vehicle or sports accident. Other reasons include the need to remove severely decayed teeth that cannot be repaired with fillings and crowns, wisdom teeth that are causing overcrowding when they emerge, teeth affected by cancer or radiation, and in preparation for orthodontic work.
- BridgesThe primary goal of a dental implant is to keep the teeth aligned properly when one is lost, to prevent to care for their implants proper periodontal disease that would lead to further loss. Having a full set of teeth is also important for comfortable chewing and self-confidence. Not everyone, however, can have implants, for health or financial reasons. One of the best affordable and quicker alternatives would be a dental bridge made of either porcelain, precious or non-precious metal alloys, or plastic. A fixed bridge has an artificial tooth in the center to replace the lost tooth and is attached to the adjacent teeth. A removable version, called a partial, is not as strong but easy to clean. Removable dentures (partials) can also provide the health benefits and functions as implants, although both partials and bridges tend to last 5-10 years, as opposed to 10-20 for implants.

- Root Canal TreatmentEndodontics is about using minimally-invasive and painless root canal therapy (often just called a “root canal”) to save infected roots of teeth so they don’t need to be extracted.
- Gingivectomy and GingivoplastyThree days later, the patient returned and was injected with 8 ml of lidocaine 2% and septocaine 4%. All of the anterior teeth along with the upper right and upper left quadrants were cleaned, with a separate cleaning for the upper left and lower left quadrants to shortly follow. After the cleanings, our periodontist performed a gingivectomy to remove the excessive gum tissue for all four quads.
- Deep CleaningThis is the first category of gum treatment. As the name suggests, there is no need any surgical procedure, and they include the following. Scaling And Root Planning by our Hygienist.
- DenturesAlmost 180 million Americans (out of a total population of 335 million) have lost at least one tooth and 40 million no longer have any teeth. For those who have lost many or all of them, dentures are a common solution and there are important differences between the types.
- OverdenturesOverdentures can be a complete or partial set of artificial teeth on a gum-like platform that can be anchored into the jaw with some implants so the denture, significantly slowing down misalignment.
- Dental ImplantsDental implants are by far the best replacement for missing teeth because they are the only solution that can permanently stop the process of misalignment that takes place when there is a gap in the smile.
