Our Restorative Treatments
Composite Fillings
Our composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, effectively repairing cavities while preserving your smile's aesthetics. Made of durable, tooth-colored materials, these fillings not only restore your dental health but also enhance the appearance of your teeth. We have options to optimize both beauty and biocompatibility in our composite material choices.
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used to repair damaged or decayed teeth. They offer a conservative yet effective solution, preserving more of your natural tooth structure compared to traditional crowns and greater strength and longevity when compared to traditional composite fillings. We only work with the highest quality prosthetics laboratories in the country.
Lab-Made Crowns
Lab-made crowns provide durable, natural-looking solutions for extensively damaged teeth. Crafted in one of the top laboratories in the country, these crowns are tailored to fit your tooth perfectly, restoring its strength, shape, and function. Whether due to severe decay or injury, lab-made crowns ensure your tooth is fully restored, allowing you to bite, chew, and smile with confidence.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges offer a fixed, non-removable solution for missing teeth. By anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants, bridges restore your smile's appearance and functionality. Beyond aesthetics, bridges prevent the shifting of surrounding teeth, maintain proper bite alignment, and promote overall oral health. To ensure your bridge lasts for years, we are work only with the highest quality prosthetics laboratories in the country.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a precise and effective treatment for damaged or infected tooth pulp. By removing the infected tissue, cleaning the area, and sealing it, we save your natural tooth from extraction. This procedure not only alleviates pain but also preserves your tooth's structure.
Full & Partial Dentures
Full and partial dentures are cost effective, custom crafted replacements for single or multiple missing teeth. Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth, while partial dentures fill gaps left by missing teeth, securing seamlessly to your natural teeth. These removable prosthetics not only restore your smile's appearance but also improve your chewing ability, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and speak with confidence.
Oral Surgery
Dr. Smith and Dr. Browning perform a range of procedures to address various dental concerns, from impacted wisdom teeth removal to complex jaw surgeries. Whether for functional or aesthetic purposes, our surgical procedures are designed to enhance your oral health and overall well-being.
Oral Tie Revisions
Oral tie revisions, also known as frenectomies, correct abnormal attachments of oral tissues that can affect eating, sleep, skeletal alignment, and oral hygiene. This simple yet transformative procedure involves precisely adjusting these tissues using our laser, improving their function and reducing discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the pros and cons of porcelain versus plastic restorations?
Porcelain restorations, like veneers, onlays, and crowns, offer superior durability, a natural appearance, and stain resistance. They mimic real teeth effectively. Plastic restorations, on the other hand, are more affordable but may stain easier and need to be replaced more frequently, depending on their size. The choice depends on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and long-term goals for your dental health.
What is the difference between a veneer and a crown?
Veneers and crowns serve different purposes. Veneers are thin shells applied to the front surface of teeth to enhance appearance, ideal for cosmetic improvements like stained teeth or minor chips. Crowns, also known as caps, cover the entire tooth and are suitable for extensively damaged or weakened teeth, providing strength and protection.
What is the difference between an onlay and a crown?
An onlay is a conservative restorative option that covers a portion of the tooth, preserving more natural structure. It's a good option for moderately damaged teeth. A crown covers the entire tooth and provides maximum protection, which is ideal for extensively damaged teeth. Onlays are a compromise between fillings and crowns, offering durability while conserving more of your natural tooth.
