Restorative Dentistry

Modern techniques in dentistry has shifted the way teeth are restored. In the past it was routine to use amalgam (metal) fillings for your everyday cavity. But now we have better materials to provide not only a better and more cosmetic result, but also to increase longevity. Advances in todays dental materials have allowed us to use minimally invasive techniques in order to keep as much of your natural tooth structure. Depending on the extent of the damage to your teeth whether from decay, fracture, or pathology, there are different options to provide the best result.

"An exciting feature in dentistry that most patients are not aware of is the dental materials used are always changing. There are extensive amounts of research that go into different bonded resin materials, luting agents, desensitizing regimens, and much more. In our practice we attend different study clubs and keep in touch with colleagues to ensure that our standard of care is never compromised and that we are always staying current with the best materials available." -Parker Haley, DDS

COMPOSITE FILLINGS

Composite fillings are white fillings that bond into the tooth and blend to provide a natural look and feel. They are also used as "bonding" to fix cosmetic blemishes such as chips, gaps, or even decay.

PORCELAIN CROWNS

Porcelain crowns, also known as "caps", cover the tooth to protect it and to reduce further wear and tear. All crowns are custom fabricated by a lab to provide proper shade matching and contouring to provide the best esthetic result that will blend and accentuate your smile.

PORCELAIN FIXED BRIDGES

Porcelain fixed bridges are used to fill in gaps or missing teeth. The teeth next to the gap are used as retainers or anchors to provide strength so that we can build a tooth to fill in the space.

ROOT CANAL THERAPY

Tooth pain is extremely unpleasant. This pain is because the nerve inside is unhappy. This can be brought on by a number of different reasons. In order to relieve the pain, a root canal must be performed followed by the tooth being built back to its original state.

DENTAL IMPLANTS

Dental implants are the future for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants can restore the look, feel, and function of your natural teeth.

DENTURES

Dentures are a removable appliance that replace missing teeth. These options extend to patients that had an accident and need a "flipper" to replace a single tooth or patients with severe periodontal disease and need a full set of teeth. Whichever the case, a custom made denture will provide stability to your oral function.
