Implant Crowns

Implants are a wonderful, permanent way to replace missing or non-restorable teeth. Implants act as an anchor to replace the missing teeth. Implants can improve your chewing and eating abilities while also enhancing facial features. Implants can be used in conjunction with bridges and dentures to give an added support for that perfect fit. Dr. Damron will work with your implant specialist and will restore implant crowns.

Veneers

Veneers are thin coverings that are placed over the front (visible) part of the tooth. They look like natural teeth and can be used to correct a wide range of dental issues, such as chipped or worn teeth, crooked or misshapen teeth, uneven spaces or a large gaps or teeth that are stained and can’t be whitened by bleaching.

Crowns & Bridges

Crowns are a very effective way to reconstruct a tooth structure. Crowns are frequently referred to as caps. Crowns are customarily used to replace fillings that are too large, cracked, worn down, or weakened teeth, cover dental implants, restore root canal treated teeth, and even cover discolored or unfavorably shaped teeth. There are many types of materials that can be used to create a crown however, the most common material is all porcelain for added strength and durability with no metal.

Whitening Trays

Whitening trays allow the patient to whiten their teeth in the comfort of their home. By using a small amount of bleaching solution and the trays, you can achieve whiter teeth in one to two weeks. Patients are often amazed at how much whitening takes place during this time, and an occasional treatment now and then is all you'll need to keep your teeth looking their best.

Preventative Care

A dental prophylaxis is a teeth cleaning treatment performed to thoroughly clean the teeth and gums. Prophylaxis is an important dental treatment for stopping the progression of gingivitis and periodontal disease. Prophylaxis is an effective procedure in keeping the oral cavity in proper health and halting the progression of gum disease.

Sealants

Applying dental sealants is one of the best preventive things both children and adolescents can do to preserve their natural teeth. The tooth is cleaned and sterilized. Then a thin plastic coating is applied. This is usually white or clear in color. A curing light is applied to the sealant to bond it into place. There are no shots or drills or removal of any tooth structure and is totally painless.

Dentures/Partials

Dentures and Partial dentures are a removable option to replace multiple missing teeth. Replacing your missing teeth will also compensate for the lack of gum tissue of the surrounding areas, improvement in speech, and prevent shifting of other teeth. Making a partial denture can take up to several visits. Once made, there may need to be adjustments to help with proper fit and comfort.

Cosmetic Fillings

A filling is the name of a dental procedure in which a material such as silver amalgam or a composite (white) filling is used to treat a decayed tooth. This material is inserted into the tooth where it then prevents the further spread of decay or repairs any damage. This treatment stops the decay from spreading into the root where it will cause a serious infection.

Extractions

Although permanent teeth were meant to last a lifetime, there are a number of reasons why tooth extraction may be needed. A very common reason involves a tooth that is too badly damaged, from trauma or decay, to be repaired. Sometimes dentists pull teeth to prepare the mouth for orthodontia. The goal of orthodontia is to properly align the teeth, which may not be possible if your teeth are too big for your mouth. Likewise, if a tooth cannot break through the gum (erupt) because there is not room in the mouth for it, your dentist may recommend pulling it.

Gum Disease

Gingivitis is the medical term for early gum disease, or periodontal disease. In general, gum disease can be caused by long-term exposure to plaque, the sticky but colorless film on teeth that forms after eating or sleeping. Gum disease originates in the gums, where infections form from harmful bacteria and other materials left behind from eating. Early warning signs include chronic bad breath, tender or painful swollen gums and minor bleeding after brushing or flossing. In many cases, however, gingivitis can go unnoticed.
