| Preventing tooth decay can become even easier. You may already be aware that daily brushing and flossing are the most important weapons against the formation of plaque, the primary cause of cavities. In addition to your regular routine of brushing and flossing, we can apply a coat of plastic material – called a sealant – on the top or biting surfaces of your back teeth. This plastic coating creates a barrier on your teeth and seals out the decay-causing bacteria that live in plaque. |

Crowns are made of metal, ceramic, or a combination of the two and require very high temperatures in converting the carved wax representation into the finished product. Crowns are fitted to a model of your mouth that is made at the time the teeth are prepared in your mouth. The crown is shaped and fitted to this model in the laboratory before we try it in your mouth. This process ensures that the crown will have a fit and appearance that will last for many years. |

Implants have been around for many years and have gained wider and wider acceptance over time as they have proved a successful method for replacing missing teeth. They offer a way to have artificial teeth that look natural and feel secure.
The implant itself, often made of titanium, is used like an artificial root to support the false tooth or teeth. Our doctors place the implant into a hole made in the jawbone. A post can then be secured to this “artificial root” and can be used to secure a prosthetic device, such as a crown or bridge, above the gum. Implants can also be used in conjunction with a removable denture to create a more secure and stable base for the denture. |

The way to repair the periodontal damages is to get rid of the infection and close up the pockets. Until now, that meant gum Flap surgery and sutures. But today, we offer Laser Assisted New Attachment Protocol (LANAP™), a patient-friendly, minimally-invasive procedure that offers a great improvement over standard gum surgery.
