• Dental implants

Dental implants are permanent replacements for missing teeth. Your dentist will implant a small titanium screw into the gum, where it gradually fuses with the surrounding bone in the jaw. This implant acts as an artificial tooth root.

Once the implant is stable in the jaw, your dentist will attach a prosthetic tooth onto it. Dental implants look, feel, and function just like a natural tooth. They also require little maintenance beyond regular flossing and brushing.

• Veneers

Sometimes referred to as “instant orthodontics,” veneers are a simple and effective way to hide flaws like chips and stains or correct minor misalignment issues. Veneers are bonded onto the front surface of the teeth with a special adhesive. They are available in porcelain or a composite resin material, which both provide a natural-looking result.

• Dental bonding

Dental bonding involves the application of a tooth-colored resin to the teeth. Dentists often use bonding to improve the appearance of a decayed, chipped, or discolored tooth. In some cases, a dentist may recommend bonding to close small gaps between the teeth.

• Crowns

A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over your natural tooth. Your dentist may recommend a crown if one of your teeth has become significantly damaged through injury or decay. Not only can a crown restore the cosmetic appearance of your tooth, but it can also protect it from further damage, decay, or infection.
