A filling is used to repair a cavity or small damage within the tooth structure. A crown is used when the tooth is too compromised to support a filling; it covers and protects the entire tooth.

This varies greatly. A filling can be completed in one short appointment. A dental implant procedure involves a healing period of several months. After your examination, we will provide a detailed timeline for your specific treatment plan.

Wisdom teeth removal is generally classified as oral surgery. However, if a wisdom tooth is functional and suffers from decay, a restorative dentistry treatment like a filling or crown could be applied. We evaluate each situation individually to recommend the best course of action.

Ignoring a missing tooth can lead to a cascade of problems. The adjacent teeth can drift into the gap, causing misalignment. The opposing tooth can over-erupt. Most significantly, the jawbone in that area will begin to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation, which can weaken the foundation for other teeth and alter your facial appearance.

A porcelain or composite resin face is placed on the front portion of your tooth. Veneers mimic the translucent properties of your normal tooth enamel so that you have a natural-looking smile.

The two forms of veneers are composite resin and ceramic (better known as porcelain).

Avoid eating foods that are too hard, sticky, tough meats, and toasted bread. After we place your permanent veneers, you will need to make changes to your diet to ensure your veneers do not become damaged.

Porcelain veneers are a good option if you want that natural look and feel to your teeth. Porcelain veneers are extremely durable and can withstand cracking and chipping, lasting decades if you give them care like you would your natural teeth.

You can eat 1-1.5 hours after your porcelain veneer appointment, but you should avoid chewing for 24 hours so the veneers can set properly.
