Protecting Damaged Teeth using Natual-Looking Dental Crowns

A Strong, Natural-Looking Crown Can Protect a Damaged Tooth

Fillings cannot always restore a tooth if it is broken or very worn down. A crown, however, can repair and save a tooth, returning it to full functionality. We use the best quality materials to make your crown, and it will look so natural, you will forget it's not your real tooth.

Children's Dental Sealants

Your Children's Dentist is Important for Good Health

We teach your children the importance of daily dental hygiene and show them how to take care of their teeth at home with proper brushing and flossing. Children's teeth are more prone to cavities as they do not always brush each day or do a good job of caring for their teeth. We ask parents to help them until they start to do a good job on their own and to make dental care a daily occurrence. 

As kids eat throughout the day, their teeth are continually being exposed to acid. This can result in the development of more cavities at a faster rate. Teeth that are not clean to begin with will be more susceptible to the occurrence of cavities. There is a solution to this problem. One application of a fluoride varnish on back teeth has proven to reduce the onset of decay. Together with healthier food choices and improved daily hygiene, chances of developing cavities can be greatly reduced.

Dental Gum Disease and Health Problems

Gum Disease Can Mean Serious Health Problems

It has been confirmed by medical researchers that gum disease is an affliction that can cause or worsen serious health problems such as diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. The American Dental Association released the statistic that nearly 80% of Americans have periodontal (gum) disease. Dentists now consider gum disease to be a national epidemic that is more serious than just losing your teeth.

The American Academy of Periodontology reports that "Studies found periodontal infection may contribute to the development of heart disease, increase the risk of premature, underweight births, and pose a serious threat to people whose health is already compromised due to diabetes and respiratory diseases." As the bacteria in gums circulates throughout the bloodstream, it can have a harmful effect on vital organs.
