Fillings
Have you noticed a dark spot on your tooth? Or perhaps you’ve had a recent checkup and were told you need a filling? If so, it’s time to schedule an appointment with our dentist. During your visit, Dr. Kay will examine your teeth and discuss why composite resin fillings might be the best option for restoring your smile.
Inlays & Onlays
Dental inlays and onlays are ideal for patients who have moderate tooth decay or damage but want to preserve as much of their natural tooth as possible. You may be a candidate for inlays or onlays if you have a cavity too large for a regular filling or if your tooth has been weakened by previous dental work.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that fit over damaged or decayed teeth to restore their strength, function, and appearance. These caps fully encase the visible portion of the tooth, providing both structural support and a cosmetic enhancement. Dental crown treatment offers a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution to restore the integrity of your smile.
Dental Bridges
At our dental practices, we offer bridges to help restore your smile and prevent the complications that arise from missing teeth. When you lose a tooth, the surrounding teeth may begin to shift out of place, leading to bite issues and difficulty with oral hygiene. The dental bridge procedure can prevent these problems and help maintain the natural structure of your mouth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent and reliable solution for tooth loss, designed to replace both the root and the crown of a missing tooth. A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone to create a strong foundation for a dental crown. Once healed, the implant looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth.
Dentures
Are you missing several teeth or even a full arch of teeth? If so, it may be time to explore your options for dentures with our experienced dentist. Dr. Kay will carefully evaluate your oral health and assess whether you are a suitable candidate for dentures, helping you regain both function and confidence in your smile.
Root Canals
Root canals are a common dental treatment used to address infected or severely damaged teeth. When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected due to decay, trauma, or a deep cavity, a root canal is often the best solution. The root canal procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inner chambers, and sealing the tooth to prevent future infections.
Tooth Extraction
You may be a candidate for tooth extraction if your tooth is severely decayed, damaged, or impacted. Extractions are also often recommended to prevent overcrowding before orthodontic treatment or to avoid the spread of infection. Dr. Kay will thoroughly assess your situation and discuss whether dental extraction is the best course of action.
Oral Surgery
For procedures requiring advanced surgical expertise, we partner with trusted oral surgeons in the area to guarantee you receive the best possible care. If Dr. Kay determines that your case requires a specialist, we will refer you to the right expert to address your unique dental needs. We’re committed to guiding you through every step of the process.
