Tooth-Colored Fillings
Our team can repair minor cavities with tooth-colored fillings, which are made from a malleable substance called composite resin. The resin can be color-matched to your existing enamel, making them practically unnoticeable in your smile. The same can’t be said about traditional metal amalgam fillings! In addition, metal fillings often expand and contract when exposed to hot and cold temperatures, harming the tooth over time. Because tooth-colored fillings bond to the enamel, they’re a healthier solution overall.
Dental Crowns
If your tooth is severely damaged due to decay or injury, then we may recommend a dental crown. These customized “caps” can save a tooth from extraction, rebuild its original structure, and shield it from further damage. Each crown is meticulously crafted to fit as naturally as possible over the tooth, and we can even provide crowns made from porcelain, zirconia, and other materials that mimic the appearance of your enamel.

Root Canals
When the bundle of tissue in a tooth’s center becomes infected, it can cause a truly terrible toothache as well as irreversible damage. Instead of immediately extracting the tooth, we may be able to salvage it with root canal therapy. This treatment involves numbing your mouth (ensuring the process is comfortable), removing the infected tissue, cleaning out the tooth, and placing a crown on top of it for protection.
Tooth Extractions
Even the most advanced tooth replacements don’t quite compare to your natural pearly whites. For that reason, we tend to only recommend a tooth extraction when the tooth cannot be repaired by any other means and it puts your overall oral health at risk. After performing a thorough exam and taking digital X-rays, we’ll determine whether an extraction is the healthiest option for your smile as a whole. We’ll also go above and beyond to keep you comfortable throughout the entire process.
