Your teeth have no plaque and tartar and you won't need to visit your dentist again for another year, right? Wrong!

Periodontal maintenance includes the removal of plaque and tartar, scaling and tooth planing and polishing.

If you feel your smile isn't what it once was, crowns can help you recover your smile.

Bridges are made from gold, metal, alloys, or porcelain to ensure that they are strong and durable. The process of creating a bridge begins by creating abutments out of your existing teeth where the bridge will be attached. The existing teeth are recontoured to provide a base for the bridge. After the abutments have been created, a mold is taken of the area which is sent to a dental lab.
