Baby Tooth Root Canals
Baby Tooth Root Canals, also known as pulpotomy or pulpectomy, are procedures that involve removing the infected or damaged pulp from a primary tooth. Each primary tooth has a pulp, commonly referred to as the nerve, which can become infected due to decay or trauma.
Cosmetic Pediatric Dentistry
Cosmetic Pediatric Dentistry is a specialized field of dentistry that aims to enhance the visual appeal of children's teeth and smiles.
Dental Fillings
A dental filling is a restoration that is specifically used to fill in an area of one or more teeth that have become decayed. Dental decay, known as a cavity, can infiltrate a tooth and cause it to become weak.
Endodontics
Endodontics, which encompasses procedures such as pulpotomy and pulpectomy, is the specialized field of dentistry that focuses on the dental pulp. The dental pulp, located within each of your natural teeth, contains vital blood supply and nerves that contribute to the tooth's health and vitality.
Hall Crown Technique
Hall Crown Technique is a dental procedure that involves the use of a special type of dental crown. The Hall Crown is a crown that is made of a unique material that is more durable than traditional dental crowns.
Laser Dentistry
We are proud to announce that we have added the Solea dental laser to our practice. This technology virtually eliminates or minimizes the need for local anesthetic injections as well as using a drill for dental fillings (in most cases).
White Crowns and Fillings
White Crowns and Fillings are common dental procedures that are used to restore decayed or damaged teeth. These procedures involve the replacement of damaged tooth structure with artificial materials such as porcelain or composite resin.
