Beautiful white fillings that look and feel wonderful.
Makes tooth stronger, protects weak cusps from fracturing and actually seals the tooth from bacteria

Alarming numbers of adults are getting cavities on their roots.
Roots of teeth have no protective enamel layer, so root cavities progress so fast that they can reach the nerve in just a few months. Many teeth with root decay are not fixable; even with surgery.
Professional strength adult fluorides significantly protect exposed roots. Adult fluoride treatments are essential if you’re on medications that make your mouth dry, or have crowns, bridges or large fillings.

This technique is analogous to publishing a couch out of the way, to clean properly underneath it.
First we remove all the infection and bacteria. Then lost areas in the gum and jaw are replaced with biologic materials. Afterwards, you can take care of gums properly, they stay healthy.

Partial denture hooks no-one see replace ugly denture hooks
Use special snaps like those on a jacket, or elastic dentures that hold themselves.
Stronger than unsightly clasps, don’t catch debris that can cause cavities and lessens forces that can loosen anchor teeth.

Removes infection that has gotten under gum, invaded the jaw bone and on roots that can progress rapidly to the nerve. May prevent need for surgery later.
Provides fresher breath.
Helps reduce gum hemorrhage that allows bacteria into your general system. Research has linked this problem to heart disease, immune disorders, low birth weight babies, diabetes and other health issues.
