The gum tissues serve to surround and support the teeth and the underlying jawbone anchors teeth firmly in place.

Prosthodontics is the specialized field of dentistry concerned with diagnosing, planning and executing restorative and cosmetic treatments. Dentists who choose to specialize in prosthodontics must complete three or four more years of dedicated training following dental school.

The Greek word “Endodontics” literally means “inside the tooth” and relates to the tooth pulp, tissues, nerves, and arterioles.

Historically, a tooth with a diseased nerve would be removed immediately, but endodontists are now able to save the natural tooth in most...

A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.

It is continued in the dental office by the efforts of your dentist and dental hygienist to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health. Prevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays. Sealants and...

While most dental surgery is performed on an out-patient basis, it remains an involved procedure that requires specific preparation and aftercare.

If you have any questions or concerns about your surgery, please contact our practice today.
