Dental Crowns and Bridges

Crowns are prescribed when a tooth or teeth are too badly decayed, broken or cracked to be easily restored with a filling. Crowns are normally needed for teeth that have had root canals, or placed on dental implants to replace missing teeth. Most crowns and can be made entirely from high-strength ceramic and porcelain for beautiful cosmetic results. 
We will prescribe a bridge when one or more teeth are missing and there are healthy teeth on both sides of the open space and, an implant is not an option. Bridges can be made from three types of material, solid gold for reliable long wear, porcelain fused to a gold base for strength and beauty, and high-strength metal-free porcelain for optimum cosmetic results.
At Legacy Dental Arts we use the very best labs to create your natural looking crown . With proper care, your new crown or bridge will increase your overall health and instill confidence for years to come.

Dental Implants

If you need to replace one or more teeth in your mouth, a dental implant is often the treatment of choice, because it's one of the most conservative treatment for tooth replacement. Implants are biocompatible designed posts that replace the roots of your missing teeth and are restored for excellent stability and strength, to look and feel natural.

Periodontics

Gum disease is usually caused by plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on teeth. If plaque is not removed with thorough daily brushing and cleaning between teeth, gums become irritated and inflamed. The irritated gum tissue can separate from the teeth and form spaces called pockets. Bacteria move into the pockets where they continue to promote irritation. Left untreated, the process can continue until the bone and other tooth-supporting tissues are destroyed. The early stage of periodontal disease is called gingivitis. It often results in gums that are red and swollen and may bleed easily.

Veneers

Unlike a crown, which covers the entire tooth, a veneer is a thin shell that is placed over the front or visible parts of the tooth. There are two types of veneers: ceramic veneers that are produced by a dental laboratory and resin-based composite veneers. With proper care, your new veneers will greatly improve your appearance and increase your confidence for years to come.

Fillings

For hundreds of years, dental fillings have been used to restore teeth. Dental fillings are placed in teeth where a dentist has had to remove tooth structure due to decay or fracture. In recent years, filling materials have been substantially improved by technological advancements. Although silver amalgam was the dominant choice years ago, today we have several other preferred options for tooth restoration including tooth colored composite filling materials and cementable resins and porcelains.

Dental Cleanings

If you need your teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist then come visit us. The basis of health and wellness is routine cleaning and maintenance. We customize your treatment visits with us according to your gums and bone health. For the most comfortable & effective treatment, we utilize medicated gels, Laser bacterial reduction, Ultrasonic scalers laser assisted periodontal therapy and laser assisted bacterial reduction along with prescription mouth rinses in problem areas if necessary.

Whitening

Everyone loves a bright, white smile. Today there are a variety of products and procedures to whiten your teeth, and are done in our office with one visit. Other whitening agents can even be purchased over the counter. However, over-the-counter whitening agents will not whiten your teeth as quickly or as effectively as those delivered by a dentist.

Dentures

If you have lost some or all of your natural teeth, dentures can be used to replace your missing teeth – improving your health as well as your appearance. Dentures prevent the sagging of facial muscles, which makes a person with no teeth look much older. Dentures also enable you to eat and speak normally, little things often taken for granted until natural teeth are lost.
Brush your gums, tongue and palate every morning with a soft-bristled brush before you insert your dentures, to stimulate circulation in your tissues and to help remove plaque. Regular dental checkups are needed so we can examine your mouth and dentures to ensure a healthy and comfortable fit.

Emergency Dentistry

Chipped tooth? Loose crown? If you find yourself in need of emergency service, contact Legacy Dental Arts today. We will try our best to accommodate your needs and get you in as soon as possible. In many cases, we can see you the very same day when an emergency strikes.

Root Canals

Endodontic treatment, more commonly known as root canal therapy, is necessary when the pulp of your tooth becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can be caused by deep decay, or a crack or chip in the tooth. With proper care, an Endodontically treated tooth will function normally for years to come.
