Some people are afraid of the dentist and avoid getting the dental care they need because of those fears. A lack of proper dental care can cause dental problems to develop and worsen over time. Some people feel as though their teeth are in such bad shape that they are too ashamed to visit the dentist.

this post that no smile is ever beyond repair. Our
team is devoted to providing gentle and compassionate care in an environment
completely free of judgment. We offer a wide range of general, restorative and
cosmetic dental services to restore health and beauty to every smile.
How We Repair Damaged, Decayed or Missing Teeth
Cracked or chipped teeth: A great solution to
cracked or chipped teeth is to place a dental crown. Crowns recreate the entire
exterior of a natural, healthy tooth. They also protect the tooth from
suffering further damage.
Cavities: Teeth that have developed cavities can be
restored with fillings. The decayed tooth structure is first removed and then
the cavity is filled with a metal or tooth-colored material.
Significantly worn teeth: Small, worn down teeth
can be repaired with a variety of solutions. Sometimes composite resin dental
bonding material can be used to build up the size and length of the teeth; the
composite resin can also protect the natural teeth from sensitivity caused by
the wearing down of the tooth enamel.
Missing teeth: Two of the most popular ways to
replace missing teeth are dental bridges and dental implants. Placing a bridge
involves crowning the teeth on either side of the gap and placing a false tooth
in the gap. Dental implants recreate the entire structure of a tooth, including
its root. In cases of multiple missing teeth, partial or complete dentures are
a great option, and can be anchored to dental implant posts for added support
and strength.
Stained or discolored teeth: Teeth whitening can
break up noticeable tooth stains with the application of a powerful bleaching
agent. Teeth that do not respond to whitening treatment can be covered with
porcelain veneers to create a brighter smile.
Crooked teeth: Crooked teeth can be fixed with the
placement of traditional metal braces or Invisalign “invisible
braces.”Invisalign treatment involves wearing a series of clear plastic
aligners that gradually shift the teeth into the correct position and
alignment.
