We never recommend a dental treatment to a patient unless they are experiencing a complication with their oral health and would benefit from a restorative dental treatment. If you have postponed or avoided a treatment we recommended, we highly suggest you schedule your appointment as soon as possible. Delaying necessary dental care can result in a dental emergency or the need for more in-depth treatment. We know that it can be intimidating to receive a treatment that you are not familiar with. Today we want to take a few minutes to explain more about one of the most common treatments a patient may need — a dental crown. Even if you don’t currently need a dental crown, it is extremely likely that you or a loved one may need one in the future. Read on to learn more about dental crowns.

We offer a tooth replacement option that can restore multiple teeth at one time. Read on to learn more about a dental bridge and why we may recommend this treatment.

Despite improvements in dental care, millions of Americans still incur tooth loss, mostly due to tooth decay, periodontal disease, or injury. For many years, the only solutions to these problems were the use of crowns, bridges, and dentures. Thankfully, today we also have dental implants. A dental implant is a high-tech replacement tooth that mimics the whole tooth structure. A titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone beneath the gum line and then a crown, or the replacement tooth, is affixed to the implant.
