Crowns are recommended when teeth are compromised due to existing large restorations, fractures, or root canal treatment. A full coverage crown is a cap that covers the portion of the tooth above the gum line. There are different options on materials and these options will be reviewed with you during the treatment planning and will differ with each patient and each tooth. The crown can be gold or tooth colored.

We offer composite (resin) restorations which are tooth colored and mimic the shade of your natural teeth.

During the comprehensive exam, an evaluation of your bite (occlusion) is performed and treatment recommendations are reviewed which may involve an occlusal guard or NTI appliance.

Do you play sports? Do you grind or clench your teeth? Do you wake up in the mornings with a headache? A mouth guard may be a good item for you to consider helping protect your teeth, lips, cheeks, and gums from trauma while engaging in physical activities. Or you may need an occlusal guard which is worn at night to protect your teeth from the trauma of clenching and grinding. We offer soft and hard varieties.

Ever drive to a dental office just to turn around in the parking lot and return home due to fear and anxiety? This is a great option for you! By definition, conscious sedation is produced by the administration of certain medications and is an altered level of consciousness that still allows the patient to respond to physical stimuli and verbal commands and to maintain an unassisted airway.

We are more than happy to discuss this option for you and prepare a personalized treatment plan for you.

Oral cancer screenings are part of our routine exams and are essential in the early detection of cancerous or pre-cancerous lesions. Oral cancer strikes an estimated 34,000 Americans per year with more than 25% of those dying from the disease. The best prevention is to eliminate risk factors such as tobacco and alcohol use and see your dentist regularly for check-ups. Even those without teeth are susceptible to oral cancer and should be screened annually. Call today for your exam.

We strive to make sure visits are a positive experience.
