Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a stable base for replacement teeth that look, feel and work like natural teeth. With dental implants, a person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat and smile with confidence. Implants can replace one tooth or several missing teeth.
Dental implants are cylinders made of titanium that are surgically implanted into the jaw. The jaw bone grows around the base of the implant, while the top protrudes through the gums. Once they are secure in the jaw, the posts serve as anchors for tooth replacements such as fixed crowns and bridges and secure removable dentures.
Our philosophy is the "team approach" utilizing other dental specialists for the surgical placement of the implant.

Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are custom-made thin layers of porcelain designed to cover the front side of teeth. These are primarily made from porcelain by a dental technician. Porcelain has a very natural tooth appearance. Veneers are designed to cover poorly shaped or crooked teeth, gaps or to lengthen or shorten teeth. Veneers may last from 3 to 12 years. This procedure of placing veneers is irreversible because the teeth must be prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the thickness of the porcelain shell.

Dental Inlays & Onlays
Dental inlays and onlays are solid fillings used to restore damaged or decayed teeth. They are often needed when there is not enough healthy tissue left in the tooth to support a regular filling. (If a tooth is severely damaged, a crown may be necessary to cover the entire surface instead of an inlay or onlay.) Unlike regular fillings, they strengthen rather than weaken teeth. Inlays lie within the cusps, or bumps, on the surface of a tooth, while onlays cover one or more cusps. They are often placed over two visits: one in which the tooth is prepared, a temporary filling is placed and an impression is made, and one in which the specially constructed inlay or onlay is cemented onto the tooth. Inlays and onlays made of composite resin or porcelain are tooth-colored, while those made of gold alloy offer increased strength and durability.

Dental Crowns
Crowns are used to strengthen and improve the shape, size or color of teeth. They can support broken or weak teeth or those with large fillings; provide a smooth, strong, attractively contoured surface for stained, misshapen or otherwise abnormal teeth; and aid in the implantation of bridges and other implants.

Dental Bonding
Bonding can improve the appearance of chipped, broken, cracked and stained teeth and spaces between teeth. Dentists apply a thin layer of tooth-colored composite resin to the teeth to restore chips and cracks, fill in gaps or cover stains, and provide patients with a more attractive and functional smile.
First, a thin layer of plastic material is applied to the tooth's surface. Then the dentist sculpts the bonding material to the desired shape and bonds it to the tooth using a special light. The bonding material comes in many colors so it will be possible to match the shade of your teeth. Once the plastic has hardened, it is polished until it is entirely smooth. The procedure takes one to two hours and the bonding lasts about 7-11 years.

Teeth-in-a-Day
Teeth-in-a-Day is a new procedure that gives patients with missing teeth a brand-new smile in a single office visit. With traditional dental implant techniques, it can take several appointments and up to six months or more before patients are ready to receive their replacement teeth. Teeth-in-a-Day replaces missing or damaged teeth with full function and an excellent cosmetic result in just one day. This procedure is done with a team of dental specialists to provide the best care. Dr. Davis will be happy to discuss this option with you.
How is this possible? During the patient's visit, the missing tooth or teeth are removed. Then a dental implant is placed for each tooth to be replaced. Finally a temporary acrylic crown, bridge or denture is cemented in place that looks, feels and functions like the natural teeth. This allows patients to enjoy a full and healthy smile immediately instead of waiting months for the implant to heal. At a later appointment, the temporary teeth are replaced with permanent custom-crafted porcelain teeth.
