Porcelain veneers can be used to correct both color and shape problems and make for a great smile makeover.
- Dental Implants - Dental implants are fixtures of titanium which are surgically screwed into your jaw bone. The dental implant is an anchor for a naturally-appearing false tooth or a set of false teeth.
- Dental Bonding -Bonding is a composite resin filling placed in the back teeth as well as the front teeth. Composites are the solution for restoring decayed teeth, making cosmetic improvements and even changing the color of your teeth or the reshaping of teeth.
- Dental Bridges - A dental bridge is a false tooth or teeth, known as a pontic, which is fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth or teeth.

- Dentures - Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth typically made out of an acrylic resin which at times incorporate porcelain or metal for additional structural support.
- Dental Fillings - Today's dental fillings are more than the typical metal fillings of our youth. Dental fillings are now color matched to the rest of your teeth for a great smile.
- Dental Crowns - A great deal for your smile can be accomplished through crowns.
- Dental Caps - A great deal for your smile can be accomplished through caps.
- Root Canals - There are tiny canals within your tooth that may become infected. This leads to the pulp inside your tooth also becoming infected as well. Either your dentist or an endodontist to remove any infection performs the root canal procedure. The canals are cleaned and then filled and the tooth receives either a filling or a crown.
- Accelerated Orthodontics - Accelerated orthodontics is relatively new way to move teeth faster than traditional braces. It can be applied in most cases where orthodontics is the chosen solution.
