Our office specializes in providing you with thorough, gentle dental treatments that include preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry. We also know that sometimes, no matter how hard you try to maintain good dental health there is still restorative work that may need to be done. In these instances, we talk to you about various options available to help keep you healthy. These options may include repairing and replacing leaking amalgam (silver) fillings, Root Canal Therapy, building crowns and bridges, placing and maintaining crownwork over implants, and replacing ill fitting partials or dentures. Before any restorative or cosmetic work is done in your mouth, it is imperative to us that you have a sturdy foundation. What we mean is that we want to make sure your gums and teeth are healthy enough to withstand the treatment that is needed or wanted. Your cleaning appointments play a vital role in maintaining your dental foundation. By coming in for your cleanings you are allowing us to take care of any problems that have risen since your last visit. In sum, your checkups help prevent your dental problems from worsening.
