Same Day Crowns
Having crowns put on your teeth is often a tedious, extended process. Dentists prescribe crowns to reinforce a weak tooth, repair chipped or cracked teeth, to hold a dental bridge in position, to improve the tooth’s appearance, or for a variety of other reasons. Some crowns are emergencies such as the example where someone breaks a tooth while eating. Other crowns correct chronic, long-term damage such as teeth that are worn thin from years of grinding. This capability is currently limited to a minority of dental offices who have the right training and equipment. Ask our receptionist about scheduling your visit.

Our Most Popular Procedures
Sleep Apnea Dental Appliance
Do you snore or know someone who snores? Many patients who snore also have sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a disease where you quit breathing throughout the night multiple times. It not only prevents you from getting a good night sleep, but it can also be deadly if not treated. Sleep apnea has been historically treated by CPAP appliance, but many patients cannot adapt to a CPAP. In those patients, an oral appliance is often a better option. We can discuss with you which of the many oral appliances is best for you based off the level of your disease and your desires.
Root Canal
A root canal is a way to save a tooth that has become infected and painful. When a tooth becomes painful or swollen, a root canal is a way to go remove the infection from the tooth, clean and disinfect the tooth, and then restore the tooth to being functional and pain free. Most teeth with root canals usually require a crown to help strengthen the tooth from further fracture.
Dental Cleanings
Regular dental cleanings are crucial to your dental and overall health. Many medical issues, such as diabetes and heart disease are currently thought to occur at higher rates with people who suffer from gum disease. More diseases are being linked every year tough disease. The key to preventing gum disease is a combination of regular dental cleanings and good brushing and flossing habits. A dental cleaning consists of measuring your gum heights which tells us if you have gum disease or not, cleaning and polishing your teeth, an oral cancer exam with our Identifi , x-rays as needed, and an exam by the doctor. Regular gum care and exams by the doctor are by far the most important part to any person’s dental health.
Crown
A crown is a tooth shaped “cap” that is cemented onto a weakened tooth to restore the tooth to its proper shape, size, and color. A crown is indicated when you have a very large existing filling that is breaking down, a very large cavity, a root canal on the tooth, or a fracture inside the tooth.
