Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile while maintaining a healthy, natural-looking result. It combines the principles of dentistry with an artistic approach to create a smile that complements your unique features. We understand that every smile is different. Our goal is to provide personalized cosmetic treatments that can improve the appearance of your smile while supporting your overall oral health. Whether you are looking to brighten your teeth, improve their shape or alignment, or address other cosmetic concerns, we can help you achieve a smile you feel confident sharing. We are proud to offer cosmetic dentistry with a thoughtful combination of skill, experience, and attention to detail to help bring your ideal smile to life.
Root Canals
Inside each tooth is a space called the pulp chamber that extends through the root to the tip of the tooth. This space contains the dental pulp, which includes nerves and blood vessels and is commonly referred to as the “nerve” of the tooth. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to decay, injury, or trauma, root canal therapy may be needed. Root canal treatment removes the damaged or infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it to help preserve the natural tooth and restore its function.
Extractions
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While preserving your natural teeth is always our goal, there are times when removing a tooth may be the best option for your oral health. Teeth may need to be extracted because of severe decay, damage, infection, or crowding. Extractions may also be recommended as part of orthodontic treatment when additional space is needed to properly align the remaining teeth. We provide comfortable, straightforward tooth extractions for patients of all ages. We will carefully evaluate your needs and discuss your treatment options with you to help ensure the best possible care.
Crowns & Bridges
A dental crown, also known as a “cap,” is a restoration that covers a tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns can be used to protect teeth that are damaged or weakened while also improving their overall appearance. A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge typically consists of an artificial tooth, or teeth, supported by crowns placed on the neighboring teeth or by dental implants. Bridges restore the appearance and function of your smile while helping maintain proper spacing between your teeth. At Southside Family Dentistry, we can help determine whether a crown or bridge is the right option for restoring your smile and protecting your oral health.
Implant Restorations
Dental implants are a natural-looking and long-lasting option for replacing missing teeth or providing additional support for dentures. An implant is placed in the jawbone and serves as a stable foundation for a custom restoration. Once the implant has healed and is ready for restoration, we can provide the crown, bridge, or denture that attaches to the implant to restore the appearance and function of your smile. If you are considering dental implants, we would be happy to discuss your restorative options and help determine what type of implant restoration may be right for you.
Dentures & Partials
A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues.
There are two types of dentures:
• Complete Dentures
• Partial Dentures
Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.
Veneers
Veneers, sometimes also termed dental veneers or porcelain laminates, are one of cosmetic dentistry's more recent developments. These wafer-thin shells of porcelain which are bonded onto the front side of teeth can be an excellent cosmetic solution for teeth that are stained or discolored, chipped, cracked, misshapen, worn or slightly misaligned.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a simple cosmetic treatment that can brighten your smile and reduce the appearance of stains and discoloration. Over time, teeth can become stained or yellowed due to foods, beverages, aging, and other factors. We offer professional take-home whitening options that allow you to brighten your smile conveniently from the comfort of your own home. Take-home whitening provides a convenient way to achieve a noticeably brighter smile while following a treatment plan designed for you.
