  4. Dental Sealants A dental sealant is an acrylic-like material that helps shield out decay-causing bacteria from the chewing surfaces of back teeth.

Fortunately, this challenge is lessening with computer color matching directly in the office. Easy Shade Compact is utilized in the office and is a modern day computer color spectrometer allowing accurate color matching in the comfort of the dental office.

  9. All-Porcelain Bridges An all-porcelain bridge is a non-removable appliance used to replace up to four adjacent missing teeth. They are custom made to fit each patient, thus providing an aesthetically pleasing, long lasting solution to missing and/or damaged teeth.

  10. Precision Partial Upper or lower dentures usually are the best solution for persons with no teeth. In situations where many teeth are missing, but the remaining teeth are stable and healthy, a removable partial denture may be recommended.

  11. Dental Implants An implant is a metal cylinder, surgically inserted into the bone of the upper or lower jaw. A crown or modified denture may be attached to the implant.

  12. Bonding Bonding, the application of a tooth coloured plastic (composite resin) on stained or damaged teeth, can make a dramatic change to the colour and/or shape of your teeth in only one office visit.
