Cosmetic Recontouring - a reshaping procedure that can repair chipped or worn teeth due to accidents or habitual grinding. Crown Restorations - a restoration that covers or caps a tooth to improve its appearance and restore its function.
Crowns, or caps for teeth, look and function just like natural teeth. Dr. Pham may recommend a crown if your tooth has enough decay that it cannot hold a filling, or if your tooth is cracked or broken and in danger of cracking down into the root if left unattended. A crown covers your tooth completely. It fits snugly at the gum and protects what remains of the natural tooth. Dr. Pham may recommend a bridge be utilized to replace one or more teeth. These restorations are cemented onto the teeth and are referred to as "fixed" dentistry as opposed to a restoration of missing teeth with a removable appliance or partial denture. Cosmetic Resin Bonding - a procedure that can repair fractured teeth, or change the color of stained teeth.

Implantology - A revolutionary new treatment for missing teeth! With implants, patients who have lost one tooth or any number of teeth due to periodontal disease or injury can once again enjoy all the health, comfort and aesthetic benefits associated with natural teeth. Our office utilizes osseointegrated implants, the most widely accepted system of dental implants used today. The term "osseointegrated" means that the implant actually bonds with the bone, making the implant an integral part of the body. Diagnodent - Our practice uses new technology that detects hidden decay where it can be eliminated in its early stages. The new Diagnodent aids in diagnosing hidden fissure caries more accurately and confidently. Most caries (cavities) occur in the complex anatomy of the biting surfaces, making diagnosis with traditional methods difficult, because the outer tooth surface often appears to be intact. The Diagnodent is a new high-tech laser system. It utilizes laser light of a defined wavelength to help detect and quantify demineralized tooth substances (decay) without x-ray exposure. It is our goal to help you maintain or improve your oral health. The dental care that our patients and their families receive in our office always includes state of the art equipment. Intra-Oral Camera -Our office uses small digital cameras called intra-oral cameras, that easily and comfortably fit into the patient’s mouth so that your dental professional can take photos of your teeth. These photos can be used in many ways, including patient education, submission to your insurance company to emphasize need of care and to send to other specialists. Our patients are able to be very involved in their own dental health care by being able to see the exact condition of their mouth. Other Technologies Include: Computerized simulation: See how your smile might look before any treatment is performed. You may ask your dentist for a complimentary smile analysis. Virtual reality glasses and CD’s: Watch a movie or listen to music and relax while your treatment is being performed. *Internet access: So that our patients can stay in touch with important clients, family and friends . . . and more . . .
