Crowns
Also known as a cap, a crown is a tooth-colored restoration that covers the entire tooth. At Broadlands Family Dentistry we use the latest ceramics, like Bruxzir (Zirconia) or eMax (lithium disilicate) to provide a strong, life-like restoration for the patient.
Bridges
An alternative to dental implants, bridges can be used to replace missing teeth - even front teeth. Bridges essentially bridge the gap where the missing tooth is.
Dental Implants
At Broadlands Family Dentistry, in many cases, we can place the implant and restore it all in the comfort of our beautiful facility. A dental implant is the titanium root form of a natural tooth that is placed into the patient’s own bone.
Composite Fillings
Commonly referred to as “white fillings” or “tooth-colored fillings”, composite fillings use state-of-the-art material used after the removal of decay or cavities from the tooth.
Implant-Supported Dentures
With improvement in technology, no longer are “Grandma’s False Teeth” the only option for people who have lost all of their teeth. Dentures can now be supported by 2,4 or even 6 implants. Dentures that are screwed into implants and are not removable are also known as “All on 4”.
Root Canals
A root canal is the careful removal of the nerve or “pulp” from inside the tooth. It is oftentimes indicated when the patient is experiencing pain or an infection.
Tooth Extractions & Bone Grafting
Tooth extractions and bone grafting are surprisingly common, but they are the last resort. When we extract teeth we typically recommend placing a bone graft to improve healing and reinforce the bone -- especially if a dental implant is indicated as a tooth replacement.
Periodontal Treatment
Periodontal Disease is the result of infection and inflammation of the gum and bone surrounding the teeth. Untreated Periodontal Disease can lead to swollen gums, painful chewing, and tooth loss.
TMJ Therapy
With over 60% of Americans grinding their teeth before the COVID pandemic, bruxism, clenching, and grinding were already a huge problem. Since 2020, we’ve seen a significant increase in people experiencing jaw pain, sensitivity, and cracked teeth. Stress and TMJ Disorder are directly related.
