Dental implants are an ideal option for patient to replace missing teeth or to support a fixed bridge or removable dentures. Dental implants can be a more conservative restoration than a traditional dental bridge when replacing a single tooth. A dental bridge would require the preparation of the adjacent healthy teeth whereas in a single dental implant those teeth would not have to be prepped.
The prognosis of dental implant placement is good in a healthy individual with good bone quality in the replacement area. Implants are also used to support bridges or dentures in patients with multiple missing teeth.

Damon passive self-ligating braces that eliminate the need for elastic or metal "ties". Damon braces use a slide mechanism to hold the wire, which allows teeth to move more freely, quickly and comfortably. Damon braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable and easy to keep clean. Without the elastic ties which attract and collect plaque, Damon braces make dental hygiene easy during treatment.
Damon clear braces are tieless and more discrete and resistant to staining and discoloration all throughout treatment. The edges of the bracket are rounded and provide more comfort during treatment. The self-ligating aspect of the bracket also provides the slide mechanism which like the damon metal bracket, allows teeth to move more freely.
Clear braces are an esthetic option to the traditional metal bracket. They are tooth colored and are able to straighten and align your teeth while reducing visibility to the brackets.
Braces are devices used that align and straighten teeth and help to position them with regard to a person's bite, while also working to improve dental health. They are often used to correct malocclusions, as well as overbites, underbites, crossbites, deep bites, open bites, crooked teeth, and various other flaws of the jaws and teeth. Braces can be either clear or metal. Dental braces are often used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances to help widen the palate and improve jaw relationships.
Incognito lingual braces and Inbrace are individually set lingual brackets that indiscreetly align your teeth over time. The "hidden braces" are an aesthetic solution effective in fixing most smiles.
Our root canal specialists are dedicated to providing exceptional endodontics in a compassionate and caring environment. We understand the word "root canal" can cause fear and anxiety. At our office, we strive to provide gentle, comfortable care tailored to your needs. Using the latest technology, we are committed to providing high-quality diagnosis and treatment through digital x-rays, surgical microscope and 3D Cone-Beam CT imaging. With these tools, we can perform advanced endodontics and surgical procedures to help you save your teeth.
Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment)
Our primary goal is to save your natural teeth whenever possible. Endodontics is the specialized treatment of the pulp and surrounding tissues. A root canal treatment cleans and fills the pulp canal system to save your tooth.
Retreatment
Occasionally, a tooth that was treated months or years ago may fail to heal or continue to have pain. In these cases, you may have another chance to save the tooth with a second endodontic procedure called a retreatment.
Endodontic Microsurgery
In some cases, it may be necessary to surgically remove the infected root tips and nearby tissue to treat the infection. This procedure is called an apical surgery or apicoectomy. The affected root tip is resected and sealed and the infection is cleaned. Sutures are removed about 1 week later. Most patients will have some minor swelling and occasional bruising with some numbness in the first few weeks.
Cracked Teeth
Signs of a cracked tooth can include pain when chewing, temperature sensitivity or pressure sensitivity. The pain often comes and goes which can be difficult to identify the problem. With chronic irritation overtime, the tooth pulp will become damaged sometimes leading to increasing pain and spreading infection into the surrounding gum and bone.
Dental Trauma
Dental injuries such as a fracture, displacement or knocking a tooth out often require observation and treatment by an endodontist to save the tooth. Getting a root canal specialist on board from the beginning can improve the chances of saving your tooth as dental injuries require prompt specific treatment depending on the severity such as splinting, medication, root canal treatment, or other procedures. Careful monitoring of the traumatized tooth is needed to ensure healing occurs as expected.
