Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can impact your ability to chew, speak, and even affect your self-confidence. They can also lead to bone loss and shifting of remaining teeth. We offer various solutions to restore your smile and function.
Treatment Options:
- Dental Implants: The most natural and durable solution for replacing single or multiple missing teeth, providing a strong foundation for artificial teeth.
- Dental Bridges: (Link to Bridges page) A traditional and effective way to bridge the gap of one or more missing teeth, anchored by adjacent natural teeth or implants.
Cracked or Chipped Teeth
A cracked or chipped tooth can range from a minor cosmetic issue to a source of significant pain and sensitivity. If left untreated, it can lead to further damage or infection.
-
Treatment Options:
-
Dental Bonding: (Mentioned in Cosmetic Dentistry page) For minor chips and cracks, tooth-colored resin can be used to restore the tooth’s appearance and integrity.
-
Same Day Crowns: For more substantial cracks that compromise the tooth’s structure, a custom-fitted crown can protect and strengthen the tooth.
-
Root Canal Therapy: (If applicable, could be a future page) If the crack extends to the pulp, a root canal may be necessary to save the tooth from extraction.
-
Cracked Tooth Repair: Our dedicated service page provides more in-depth information on diagnosing and treating various types of cracks.
-
Tooth Decay & Cavities
Tooth decay, commonly known as cavities, is caused by bacteria that erode tooth enamel. If not treated, cavities can lead to pain, infection, and even tooth loss.
-
Treatment Options:
-
Tooth-Colored Fillings: We use composite resin fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, effectively restoring the tooth after cavity removal.
-
Dental Crowns: For larger cavities where significant tooth structure is lost, a crown may be necessary to restore and protect the tooth.
-
Gum Disease (Periodontal Disease)
Gum disease, ranging from gingivitis to more severe periodontitis, is an inflammation of the gums that can affect the bone supporting your teeth. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent tooth loss.
-
Treatment Options:
-
Professional Cleanings: Routine cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup, preventing gingivitis.
-
Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning): For more advanced gum disease, this procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line.
-
Periodontal Maintenance: Ongoing specialized cleanings to manage gum disease.
-
Tooth Pain & Sensitivity
Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets can indicate underlying dental problems such as decay, cracks, gum recession, or infection.
-
Diagnosis & Treatment: Our team will accurately diagnose the cause of your pain using advanced imaging like Digital X-rays and CBCT Scans , and then recommend the appropriate treatment, which could include fillings, crowns, root canal therapy, or gum treatments.
Misaligned Teeth & Bite Issues
Crooked teeth or an improper bite (malocclusion) can affect your smile’s appearance, make cleaning difficult, and contribute to jaw pain.
-
Treatment Options:
-
Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign®): A discreet and comfortable way to straighten teeth without traditional braces.
-
Dental Veneers: (Mentioned in Cosmetic Dentistry page) For minor alignment issues or aesthetic improvements, veneers can create the appearance of straighter teeth.
-
Discolored or Stained Teeth
Tooth discoloration can be caused by food, drink, tobacco, aging, or certain medications, affecting the vibrancy of your smile.
-
Treatment Options:
-
Professional Teeth Whitening: (Mentioned in Cosmetic Dentistry page) In-office or take-home treatments to dramatically brighten your smile.
-
Porcelain Veneers: (Mentioned in Cosmetic Dentistry page) Can provide a complete aesthetic transformation for severely discolored teeth.

TMJ Disorders (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction)
Issues with the jaw joint and surrounding muscles can lead to pain in the jaw, face, neck, headaches, or difficulty chewing.

Diagnosis & Treatment: We can evaluate your TMJ symptoms, often using CBCT Scans for detailed imaging, and recommend appropriate treatments such as nightguards, bite adjustments, or referral to specialists if needed.
