Oral health is not just about your teeth and gum’s, but is also a major factor in your total body health as well. We provide you with effective and safe dental hygiene therapies that keep your smile looking beautiful, while also maintaining the health of your teeth and gum’s.
Inlays and Onlays
If you have a damaged or decayed tooth, we have the answer for you. Porcelain Inlays and Onlays are a natural-looking alternatives to amalgam fillings. Beautiful and durable, they are formed to fit and fill most types of cavities and are almost impossible to distinguish from natural teeth. If your old metal fillings are making your smile unattractive and dark, we can easily replace them with attractive porcelain alternatives. Inlays and onlays are used in place of traditional dental fillings to treat tooth decay. The dental fillings are molded into place and the inlays and onlays are fabricated before being fitted and bonded to the damage tooth.
Implants
Implants are changing the way people live. Dental implants are essentially replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. A person with implants can regain the ability to eat, speak, laugh and smile with comfort and confidence, knowing that their teeth appear natural and look great. In addition to restoring a natural appearance and improving your smile, implants can also help preserve facial structure and prevent bone deterioration.
Dentures
Suffering the loss of your natural teeth can be difficult. Our dental team is trained to understand and treat those who have suffered this traumatic loss. Dr. Kennedy, using advanced cosmetic dentistry training, will design a smile that is attractive, beautiful, and that compliments your facial characteristics. Dentures can restore your youthful appearance and self confidence. You will feel better about yourself because you speak clearly, eat comfortably and have a million dollar smile.
Periodontal Treatments
Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss and has been linked to heart disease, stroke, and premature low birth weight in babies. Periodontal disease is a condition that cannot be completely cured, but it can be managed. Periodontal laser therapy treats the disease more effectively and comfortably than ever before by removing scar tissue in periodontal pockets, effectively killing the bacteria that’s causing the disease. It also promotes the reattachment of the gum to the tooth. After initial periodontal treatment, you should come back for follow up care and maintenance treatment to help prevent the disease form spreading. You should visit your dentist approximately every three months for checkups.
Invisalign
If you are looking to straighten your teeth, then Invisalign could be the solution for you. These invisible aligners are elegantly transparent: no one but you knows that they are there. They gently and effectively correct flaws in the alignment of your teeth, realigning them to produce a beautiful smile. Eat, brush and floss as normal. You can even remove your aligners as needed. In a very short time, you can improve your smile and self confidence.
Sleep Apnea & Snoring
Snoring is troublesome for the sleep partner, who is kept awake. But for the snorer, it can lead to sleep apnea, which can be a debilitating and lethal condition. If you witness problems breathing at night and your spouse has abnormal daytime sleepiness, he or she may have sleep apnea and need the help of a sleep doctor. Call our office for a consultation or referral.
