Cosmetic dentistry includes things like tooth-colored restorations, dental implants, and crowns. We have many options, so please call us today!
The closest thing to regrowing your natural teeth, dental implants are the perfect choice for replacing missing teeth. They are strong, stable, durable, and virtually undetectable. Implants can also be used as a base for a total arch replacement.
Many everyday things like coffee, tea, and wine can significantly dull teeth. Smile-whitening enables us to significantly brighten your smile for that dazzling white smile you deserve. Ask us about the various options for teeth whitening during your dental appointment.
Our implant denture restorations replace the entire upper and/or lower teeth arch. Your new implant denture teeth are supported permanently on four to six dental implants depending on the solution that will best fit your needs. Since your fixed denture looks, functions and feels just like healthy, natural teeth, you can forget about your dental problems and enjoy life's moments again.
From toddlers to the elderly, our skilled dental team is familiar with the unique needs of every patient, no matter their age. Our goal is to help them develop great oral habits that will last them a lifetime. Join us today and discover how our practice can help treat your entire family.
The common silver filling contains mercury. Dr. Fugate uses the highest-quality biocompatible, tooth-colored restorations to create healthy, beautiful smiles.
Gum disease is treated by carefully removing the bacteria and substances that form in the pockets around the teeth. The removal of this material occurs on a microscopic level and requires great skill. Our dental team has had advanced training to effectively remove all of the bacteria.
Root canal therapy is an excellent way to save a tooth that would otherwise die and need to be removed. All teeth that have had root canal therapy must be protected with a crown. This is because teeth that have had the pulp removed are more susceptible to fracture.
Normal pits and grooves on the chewing surfaces of back teeth can trap food that can’t easily be removed with brushing. A sealant is a tough tooth-colored material that is designed to bond to tooth enamel. These sealants are painted on to the tooth surface to seal these pits and grooves and protect against decay. We recommend applying these to children’s teeth once they have permanent back teeth in place. They can also be useful to adults in some situations.
Occlusal (bite) guards or mouthguards help protect your teeth and jaw from damage due to grinding teeth while you sleep or clenching teeth. Clenching and grinding teeth while sleeping can cause: wear, fracture, or chipping of teeth. It can cause sensitive crevices, gum or bone recession, loose or shifting teeth, worsening periodontal disease, damage to dental appliances or implants, tender muscles, headaches, or noises when opening or closing your mouth. Our bite guards can be used to decrease any of these symptoms. Call us today for a TMD or bite consultation.
CEREC® technology allows our practice to create tooth-colored porcelain restorations for healthy, beautiful smiles in a single appointment. Crowns should be placed before the tooth is so decayed that it may fracture. This can often help prevent the expense of root canal therapy in the future. If a tooth is too damaged to have a crown applied, a porcelain bridge may be a good alternative.
Obstructive Sleep Disorder (OSA) or Sleep Apnea occurs when the airway completely collapses, blocking airflow into the lungs. The harder one tries to breathe, the tighter the airway seals. This airway obstruction persists until the brain partially awakens the person, unconsciously closing the jaw and returning the tongue and throat to a normal position.
If you suffer from the following, contact our office:
We offer effective, nonsurgical relief from sleep apnea and other sleep-related disorders—including snoring. Ask us how you can get the restful, healthy sleep you’ve been missing.
