• Dental restorations are used to restore damaged or decayed teeth. They can frequently save teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted. Restorations include fillings, inlays and onlays, veneers, crowns, implants, bridges, and dentures. Dental restorations can be described as direct and indirect restorations. Some restorations require multiple visits to the dentist (e.g., crowns, bridges).

• Invisalign treatment fits into your life however you want it to. Since your aligners are virtually invisible, most people won't even notice anything different. (Until your new smile is revealed, of course.)

  The Invisalign system offers you convenience superior to any other option for treating orthodontic or dental issues. It's removable so you can take out your aligners whenever you feel the need-for business meetings or other occasions-which not only gives you flexibility, but can benefit your health, too.

• Implant treatment is a procedure performed by an oral surgeon or periodontist working with a restorative dentist and a laboratory as a team. All are specially trained in their part of the implant treatment. A dental implant is a small man-made titanium screw that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. The implant is placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw and allowed to bond with the bone and serve as an anchor for the replacement tooth.
