Sometimes a tooth is too worn away, decayed, or broken to be restored with a filling. In that case, a crown is the best solution. We use IPS e.max™ all-white crowns that are beautiful enough to restore front teeth and strong enough to repair back teeth. They look so natural, even a dentist would have a hard time distinguishing them from a real tooth.
The use of laser technology for dental problems has evolved to an almost miraculous level! It produces positive results, and its use is patient friendly and minimally invasive. It has successfully been used in treatment of gum disease, in place of surgery. This FDA-approved procedure is virtually painless and additionally helps to regenerate bone mass in the jaw that may have been lost due to chronic gum infection.
