| Sedation Dentistry
Whether you have a little something you want fixed like
a broken tooth or years of ‘little somethings,’ we
can help you with sedation dentistry. Perhaps you're one
of the many people who are afraid of the dentist. You're
not alone. Fear keeps nearly one third of all Americans away
from the dentist. If fear is your problem, we have a safe
solution.
With sedation dentistry you don’t have to endure multiple
visits to enjoy better oral health and a healthier, more confident
smile. Even if you have neglected your teeth for years and
need much work, sedation dentistry offers a solution you can
smile about. We use safe oral sedation – you take
a pill at the office one hour before your treatment to
completely relax you for up to six hours – so
you don’t feel any pain or anxiety. You won’t lose
consciousness, but you will be in a “groggy” state
during your treatment.
Porcelain Inlays and Onlays
Sometimes, teeth have cavities too large to be restored
with just a filling. A filling can restore the part of the
tooth lost to decay, but it doesn’t add strength to
the tooth. That’s where onlays and inlays come in – as
wonderful options for restoring teeth that have suffered
extensive decay or trauma. They add strength, protect the
biting surface and are easy to care for.
Porcelain inlays are similar in size and shape to fillings.
Porcelain onlays are similar to crowns. Instead of covering
the entire tooth, however, onlays cover only the biting surfaces.
They create tighter seals and strengthen the teeth. Onlays
and inlays can be done in one appointment. And, since they
do not contact the gums, they make it easier to keep teeth
plaque-free along the gum line
