Sealants help protect your healthy back teeth. We apply a preventative sealant to fill in the deep grooves where bacteria and food particles can collect and cause cavities.

We recommend a filling when decay has destroyed tooth structure. We only use tooth-colored fillings in our office to provide you with a healthy and discrete way to get your cavities fixed.

We recommend a crown when too much tooth structure is missing to place a filling. We place a porcelain crown over the damaged and diseased tooth structure to keep the remaining tooth healthy and help prevent the need for extraction.

We perform a root canal to alleviate pain and get rid of infection. First, we remove the nerve and thoroughly clean the inside of the tooth. Then, we fill the inside of the tooth with a soft and flexible material. Last, we add a crown to the tooth to keep it from breaking.

We perform surgery when the tooth can't be saved or the patient requests extraction. This procedure removes the source of infection. We do safe and gentle extractions. Occasionally, we recommend placing a bone graft to fill in the tooth socket; this decreases the chance of secondary infection and prevents a dry socket.
