Custom, Modern Denture Solutions
For decades, dentures have served as a reliable, time-tested, and budget-friendly solution for patients missing a full arch of teeth, effectively restoring function and aesthetics. Modern custom-fit dentures utilize highly natural-looking materials to significantly boost self-confidence, while also improving the ability to eat, chew, and speak by restoring the fullness of the face. Though commonly sought for cosmetic enhancement, these prosthetics offer essential functional improvements, making challenging foods and difficult speech easier once more, and represent a fast, affordable option for those seeking a dramatic enhancement in both facial aesthetics and function. For patients desiring greater stability, we also offer implant-supported dentures, and Dr. Candace Colella provides a personalized consultation to discuss individual smile goals, educate on at-home care, and ensure the final, customized solution is beautiful and highly natural in appearance.
When is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
To prevent a single problematic tooth from compromising overall oral health, an extraction may be needed. This can be due to trauma, decay, disease, or the presence of impacted wisdom teeth, which should often be removed pre-emptively to prevent infection or bite alteration. While the priority is always to save the natural tooth, extractions are performed to create a healthier environment for the surrounding teeth and gums. The extraction process, performed gently by our experienced dentist, involves the careful removal of the tooth using specialized tools, followed by either a bone grafting or socket preservation procedure to maintain the height and volume of the jawbone, especially when preparing for future implant placement. If you are experiencing chronic tooth pain or suspect you have impacted wisdom teeth, scheduling a consultation is the first step toward receiving effective treatment to safeguard your health and restore your smile.
End Your Chronic Tooth Pain
Chronic tooth pain often signals a more serious underlying infection or inflammation in the tooth root, which, if untreated, can lead to severe health complications and eventual tooth loss. Common symptoms include a dark-colored tooth, temperature sensitivity, sharp pain when biting, and tender, swollen lymph nodes or fever. While medication can mask the pain, addressing the infection at its source is crucial. Our root canal therapy is designed to save the tooth, relieve chronic pain, and restore proper function. This procedure begins with a proper diagnosis via X-rays, followed by numbing and any necessary sedation, after which Dr. Candace Colella carefully removes a portion of the tooth crown to thoroughly clean all bacteria from the pulp chamber. The sanitized area is then permanently filled and sealed with a final dental crown, resulting in a pain-free, fully restored tooth. If you are experiencing tooth pain, do not hesitate to contact us, as prompt treatment can save your tooth and protect your overall health.
