Crooked teeth almost always result in cosmetic concerns, even if their misalignment isn’t causing functional problems affecting your bite. There’s a range of orthodontic treatment available today that can be tailored to your needs. We’ll help you determine which one will most effectively correct your crooked teeth and improve the esthetics of your smile. Orthodontic treatment generally lasts between 6-24 months, depending on your unique case.

Whether you have a weakened or broken tooth or are missing a tooth altogether, we offer custom and cosmetic crowns and bridges in Sarasota & Bradenton, FL to restore your smile. Crowns restore function and health to a damaged tooth or one that has been treated with a root canal. Bridges provide a tooth replacement by “bridging” the gap left behind by missing teeth.

Veneers in Sarasota & Bradenton, FL are thin shells of porcelain that cover just the front portion of the teeth that show when you smile. Once your teeth have been modified (a small portion of enamel removed), veneers will fit naturally and restore proper size, shape, and alignment. With minimal maintenance and maximum longevity, veneers are a beneficial and hassle-free choice for renewing your smile.

Life loves to serve you the unexpected, doesn’t it? We’re here for you when it does with emergency dentistry.

Having an understanding of gum disease is integral to making informed decisions that support your oral and overall health. Laser dentistry provides a faster, gentler, and more reliable method for resolving issues related to periodontal disease. Unlike a traditional gingivectomy or osseous surgery would, laser dentistry in Sarasota & Bradenton, FL doesn’t require scalpels, incisions or sutures to treat gum disease, so the risk of infection during recovery is minimal. The protocol targets and kills the bacteria that cause gum disease, removes damaged gum tissue, and reattaches healthy tissue to the tooth root surface. 

If you’re grinding or clenching your teeth, have worn-down teeth, or frequently experience jaw pain you may have temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. This can occur for a number of reasons from malocclusion (bad bite), unhealthy oral habits, as well as jaw joint problems. An occlusal adjustment or custom mouthguard may be all you need to restore proper balance, relieve your pain, and maintain your oral health.

Dental implants provide numerous advantages over other tooth replacement options. Unlike dental bridges, dental implants do not require healthy teeth to be present to support the restoration. Dental implants in Sarasota & Bradenton, FL only need proper jawbone density to remain secure and strong, where they will in turn provide stimulation to keep the bone healthy. Unlike dentures, dental implants are permanently secured in your jawbone and act like artificial tooth roots (implant posts). They are permanently fixed and stable enough to restore over 99% of natural biting and chewing power.
