Root Canal Treatments
A root canal treatment is an option where the only other solution is an extraction. This is because the tooth has suffered irreparable decay. Root canal treatment involves removal of the diseased pulp of the tooth so that the tooth is able to function. A decayed tooth causes pain and we can help you. Have a root canal treatment done in order to save your tooth.
Extractions
The last resort in dental care is extractions or removing a tooth or teeth that are destroyed by decay or disease. We also extract wisdom teeth when needed. Extraction is an option where saving a tooth by root canal is not possible. Our staff will make you comfortable in order to help you get the dental care you need. We will take care of you from the beginning and follow up with you to make sure everything is going well for you.

Michael's Amalgam Free Filling
Traditional silver fillings, called amalgam fillings, are made up of approximately 50 percent mercury. This concerns many people as they believe that having mercury in their mouth may pose serious health concerns.
When it comes to white composite / ceramic (mercury free) versus amalgam fillings, there are many advantages. When composite / ceramic is bonded to the tooth it actually structurally reinforces the tooth. This means that your tooth is stronger and in turn more resistant to fracture. Whereas amalgam tends to weaken the overall tooth structure.
Another benefit of composite / ceramic is that amalgam fillings can corrode and crack over time. When this happens, they are at risk for leaking harmful substances into your mouth and into your body.
When composite / ceramic fillings are placed they actually require less drilling by the dentist. Amalgam requires a certain thickness of your healthy tooth to be drilled away after the cavity is removed so it is strong enough to hold up to everyday use. With the bonding technology for the placement of composite / ceramic fillings, less of your natural tooth is sacrificed.
