We absolutely do cosmetic dentistry including crowns, veneers, bridges, bonding, and/or implants. If you are looking to improve your smile, make an appointment with any of our doctors to go over your options to get the smile you want.

If you are over the age of 30 and have only slight sensitivity, it may be indicated to simply be careful with the tooth, avoiding hard foods, until your crown seat date.

A bridge is used to replace a missing tooth. A bridge can be a non surgical alternative to an implant. A bridge uses two adjacent anchor (abutment) teeth to hold one or more false (pontic) teeth. A bridge anchor tooth is prepared just like a crown, by removing some of the enamel.

A bridge typically costs between $450 and $900 per unit (number of abutment plus pontic teeth). A significant amount of this cost may be covered by your insurance reducing the cost to $225 - $600 per unit depending on your insurance. We always give you the cost of any procedure before beginning.

If your temporary crown fell off or broke, it may or may not need to be recemented. If your doctor specifically requested you to be seen if it fell off or broke, call your office to be seen.

If it falls off and you are extremely sensitive, you may use Ibuprofen to reduce the sensitivity until you can be seen at your office. We strongly prefer you to be seen at your original office for issues with temporary crowns, since your original office has the mold to make a new temporary crown if that is necessary.

If you are traveling or do not have the ability to be seen at your office, you may use temporary cement purchased at your local pharmacy to recement the temporary crown.

We always guarantee all work against manufacturer material defect. Unfortunately dentistry resides in a VERY harsh environment, the oral cavity. Dentistry just like automobile tires can wear down with use. If any of the dentistry we have provided to you does not last, breaks, or gets damaged, please call your office and we'd love to discuss your particular case.

A crown is an enamel replacement. If a tooth has lost more than 50% of its enamel, you may need a crown. A crown typically costs between $300 and $900. A significant amount of this cost may be covered by your insurance reducing the cost to $300 - $450 depending on your insurance. Some insurances cover the entire cost of crowns. We always give you the cost of any procedure before beginning.
