One visit root canal: Teeth that are infected or painful to hot or cold can be treated with root canal therapy. In one visit (when clinically appropriate) the nerve of the tooth can be removed and the canal filled. The purpose of root canal treatment is to retain teeth that otherwise would require extraction. When properly done the treatment is often successful and with minimum discomfort.
Non surgical gum treatment: Periodontal disease is the major cause of tooth loss for adults over thirty five. The major cause of this problem is the retention of plaque and calculus under the gums. Long term accumulation of tartar can caused a low grade infection which leads to the bone and ultimately the tooth being lost. Deep cleaning and placement of antibiotic therapy (arestin) under the gum is an effective first step in treating this problem.
Crown and Bridges: "Caps" or crowns are a valuable treatments to preserve teeth that are or would otherwise break, fracture , or decay. Crowns are a covering of teeth in porcelain and metal. In some cases, for a more cosmetic restoration, an all porcelain crown can be used, giving a natural life like look. In addition to helping preserve teeth, crowns have a cosmetic benefit as they are designed to look like the natural teeth they are replacing. These teeth usually have large amalgam restorations giving the tooth a dark or black color. Multiple units of crowns joined together can be used to make fixed bridges. This is a common method to replace missing teeth.

Implant dentistry: Implants provide a means to restore missing teeth and help stabilize dentures. An implant or "fixture" is inserted in the jaw by an oral surgeon and this can be use as an anchor to build a single tooth, or a bridge of multiple teeth. The practice of implant dentistry has revolutionized the quality of care our patients can now receive.
Dentures: Partial or complete dentures to replace old, broken, ill fitting or discolored dentures. With the advent of the technology of implant dentistry, one never need to wear removable teeth. However, the cost of implants may be prohibitive for some. For these patients a variety of options are available for removable prosthesis. This includes invisible clap dentures (flexi clasp), soft lined dentures and partial dentures that tie into crowned teeth (precision attachments).
