Digital dentistry means digital impressions! No more goopy impression material. We can use our 3D scanner to scan your mouth and teeth.
For most adults, straightening their teeth no longer requires wearing brackets and rubber bands. Now you can use clear trays!
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent base for fixed, replacement teeth.
In many cases we can design and give you your crown in the same day, so you don\'t have to wear a temporary.
A root canal is a treatment performed by our specialist (an endodontist) to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed.
