To achieve your new smile, a variety of treatments may be discussed during your consultation, which may include:
Dental Implants
o Replacing a bridge or dentures, an implant functions as a replacement for tooth root customized to match your natural teeth
Crowns
o A tooth shaped restoration that is placed over an existing tooth, and improves the appearance and health of misshapen or broken teeth
Veneers
o Thin layers of porcelain that are carefully placed over the teeth, and can be for either cosmetic or restorative purposes
Orthodontic Treatment
o Invisalign, Clear Correct, and traditional braces can correctly align teeth, which could also decrease the stress on the facial muscles used during chewing that cause headaches and discomfort.
Root Canal
o The infected pulp of the tooth is removed, and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and sealed, which could then be restored with a crown for protection and normal tooth function
