Although the incidence of tooth decay has significantly diminished over the years due to use of fluorides and an increase in patient awareness, teeth are still susceptible to decay, infection and breakage and sometimes need to be restored.  Through the use of improved techniques and modern technology, we are now able to offer more options for restoring a tooth back to its normal shape, appearance and function.  

In the past decade there has also been a dramatic interest in cosmetic dentistry.  We all realize that having a healthy, bright, beautiful smile enhances our appearance and allows us to smile with confidence.  Thanks to the advances in modern cosmetic dentistry, we are able to improve our teeth and smiles with quick, painless and surprisingly affordable treatments.

Reasons for cosmetic and restorative dentistry:

• Enhance your smile
• Change the size, shape, and alignment of certain teeth
• Fill in unattractive spaces between teeth
• Improve or correct an improper bite
• Lighten or brighten the color of teeth
• Repair decayed, broken, cracked, or chipped teeth
• Prevent the loss of a tooth
• Replace missing teeth
• Replace old, unattractive dental treatments
• Restore normal eating and chewing
