We Don’t Give Up on Infected or Damaged Teeth
In the past, teeth that had infected or damaged roots were simply extracted. Today, it is recognized that it is important to save teeth, as missing teeth can cause other dental problems. Our doctors are well experienced in the most advanced procedure of root canal therapy. During this treatment, the interior of the pulp chamber of a tooth is removed and replaced with a filling material that is different from a filling for a cavity restoration. Sometimes the tooth will need more strength for full functioning, so a crown is placed over the tooth. When root canals were first performed, they acquired a dreaded reputation among patients. But all that has changed. Today, modern technology and anesthetics make the procedure easy for a patient, with little or no pain.

Replace Missing Teeth with Natural-Looking Dental Implants
With dental implants, you can have missing teeth replaced whether they are located in the front or back of your mouth. They will function like your own teeth so you may chew all types of food. They even look like natural teeth because they actually come up through the gums, unlike bridges or removable dentures that only sit on the gums. They are so life-like, you will forget they are not your own teeth.
Those without any teeth can benefit from implants too. They can replace dentures with teeth that are secure in your mouth, and they never need to be removed. We take care of the entire procedure of implants from post to crown placement, so you will not have to go to another dentist.
