Amalgams/Mercury Fillings
- Why? - There's some debate in the dental industry
regarding the pros and cons of using silver fillings, or dental amalgams,
to fill cavities. At our office, we exclusively use composite resins
for several reasons.
Dental Implants - Permanent,
Secure Tooth Replacements - When people lose permanent
teeth due to accident, injury, disease or extraction, dental implants
can be a secure, functional replacement option.
Porcelain Veneers -
Porcelain veneers can often provide people who have chipped, stained,
discolored, unevenly spaced, or even slightly crooked front teeth with
a completely new-looking smile in just a few simple appointments.
TMJ Disorder -
TMJ disorder or TMD can cause a wide variety of mild to severe symptoms,
from jaw clicking and minor discomfort to sharp pain in your temple,
ear, jaw and teeth; it can also "lock" your jaw open or shut,
or dislocate the jaw altogether.
