Professional tooth whitening (bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment that can dramatically enhance the beauty of your smile. Two types: in-office and home treatment. Both professional options are stronger and more effective than over-the-counter products.

Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to acid attacks. May be recommended for deep pits, exposed roots, poor oral hygiene, inadequate fluoride exposure, poor saliva flow, or history of decay.

Process of removing infected, injured or dead pulp from the root canal system, then filling the canal with materials to prevent infection and restore function. Lets you keep your tooth rather than having it extracted.

Thin plastic coatings applied to the grooves on the chewing surfaces of back teeth to act as a barrier against cavities. Children and teenagers are obvious candidates, but adults can benefit as well.

Removable dental appliances that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. Complete dentures replace all natural teeth; partial dentures fill spaces and prevent other teeth from shifting.

Process of removing a tooth from the mouth, often because it is too badly damaged or decayed to be repaired. Wisdom teeth are commonly extracted when they affect other teeth or become impacted.
