Root canals are needed when the section of the tooth that contains blood vessels, nerve tissues and pulp (cells) becomes infected or has experienced trauma, causing the nerve to die.
When the root canal of the tooth becomes inflamed from bacteria slipping inside, you may need a root canal treatment (RCT) to resolve the issue and get your tooth back into good oral standing.

If your tooth is so badly decayed or injured that a restorative treatment or root canal cannot repair it, our dentists may recommend a tooth extraction.
Tooth extractions can be simple or surgical depending whether they are visible or impacted. All tooth extractions performed at our office are done using local anesthesia, and you have the option for oral sedation as well. We want you to be comfortable throughout your procedure and take steps to help you feel at ease.

We offer same day dental crowns using 3D-printing technology, with FDA-cleared printable resins. We ensure that every patient is provided high-quality dentistry that is customized to their individual needs.
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with artificial teeth. The bridge is usually created by placing crowns on the natural teeth on either side of the gap (called abutment teeth) and cementing the prosthetic teeth in between, to keep them in place. A bridge can also be cemented to implants or bonded to the backs of adjacent natural teeth.

Missing teeth can change your face shape by making your cheeks look hollow and your mouth look sunken. More importantly, your diet and nutrition can suffer. Those who are missing multiple teeth in a row may want to consider dentures for both cosmetic purposes and overall wellness. We offer dentures through digital scanning and 3D printing. This technology will allow us to create the best dentures that are customized to you perfectly at an affordable rate.

Composite is the best choice if you want the most natural finish possible for your fillings to be unnoticeable. Composite fillings are preferred over amalgam for their durability, their ability to closely match the color of natural teeth, and especially for their mercury-free nature. Composite fillings can restore strength to the tooth, protect from decay, and last up to twenty years.

Dental hygiene, also known as oral hygiene, refers to the practice of keeping one's mouth clean and free of disease by regular brushing and cleaning between the teeth. It is essential for maintaining overall oral health and preventing dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. At your hygiene appointment, a dentist or dental hygienist will thoroughly clean the teeth to remove plaque, tartar, and stains that regular brushing and flossing cannot eliminate.

Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is a degenerative condition primarily caused by bacteria found in plaque. The bacteria inflame and infect the gum tissues, and when left untreated, the gums can eventually begin to pull away from the teeth. Untreated periodontal disease can result in bone loss, tooth loss and gum tissue recession. This is why periodontal treatment is very important because it can prevent further tooth loss and decay.

We use a 3D printer to generate models of your teeth and use computer-assisted design to generate clear aligners to straighten your teeth. With traditional braces, this is done using metal brackets with wires threaded between them. With our custom methods, we apply pressure using a series of clear aligners that place specific amounts of pressure on specific teeth. When worn in a series, they put the right amount of pressure on the teeth to migrate the teeth to the correct position.
