We Cater to Adults
Cosmetic Dentistry is the art of
bringing you a beautiful, younger,
more alluring new smile - a smile
that is sure to have a wonderfully
positive impact on your overall
health appearance and self-confidence!
Relentless Pursuit of Perfection
For most people, an average of 3-5 weeks for a smile transformation is just that. . .average. Our relentless pursuit of perfection coupled with our many years of experience with laboratory procedures and cosmetic restorations allow us to complete most cases within TWO weeks, and in certain cases, in just a few days! We believe that conserving healthy tooth structure is the best thing we can do for our patients, and that means avoiding uncomfortable and unnecessary temporary restorations whenever possible! Amalgam fillings can, in most situations, be replaced with tooth-colored porcelain inlays or onlays in one appointment. Our aim is to restore what is lost, not remove what is not!

A Cosmetic and Healthy Alternative to Silver
Fillings and Crowns in One Appointment
Silver Fillings
Dr. Berland, a key note speaker at the annual American Academy Of Cosmetic Dentistry meeting, has not placed a mercury filling since 1989 when the Environmental Protection Agency declared the left over amalgam a hazardous substance.
Everyday we see people with broken teeth and tooth aches caused by old silver fillings that have expanded with temperature and time like the mercury in old thermometers. These teeth now need crowns, root canals, or extractions. Frequently, there's decay under the fillings due to the fact that they were done before recent advances in caries (decay) detectors and bonded restorations to seal out the decay from forming at the margins. And, of course, there's no denying those warnings on the label."
THE ACTUAL WARNING LABEL ON CONTAINERS OF AMALGAM (MERCURY) FILLINGS.
In the past, replacing big ugly silver fillings consisted of lab fabricated restorations. This would entail excessive tooth removal, impressions, temporaries, and two appointments. Now, by combining old style care with new age technology, we can save teeth, remove these mercury fillings and fix the broken down teeth in just one appointment.
Bonded Tooth Colored Inlays/Onlays
- We follow the IAOMT protocol for removal of amalgam fillings
- We remove amalgam fillings under a rubber dam for isolation & your protection.
- We use special air filters, and an oxygen mask (with or without nitrous oxide) to help reduce your inhalation of mercury.
- Generally speaking, teeth that have been prepared for silver fillings have holes that are simply too big or undercut to replace with direct bonded composite fillings.
- We remove the silver fillings, use a decay detector to eliminate any decay, insulate the tooth, take an impression, and fabricate a piece of polymer resin in the laboratory under heat, pressure and light, and then bond it in the same appointment.
- Rather than "cut the teeth down for crowns", we prefer to put the tooth back together like a jigsaw puzzle. The more we save of your natural tooth the better you feel. Of course, in certain circumstances crowns are necessary.
Only a proper examination can determine what is best for you. If you have any questions, or would like to schedule an introductory visit, please contact us.
