Restorative Procedures

Porcelain Crowns: Also called caps, crowns securely cover fractured or broken teeth. They also replace old over-sized fillings. For a permanent restoration that identically matches your own teeth, we are now able to combine beauty and strength with the use of space-age materials. Primarily, we use all glass crowns rather than the traditional metal and porcelain crowns. They allow for a more conservative approach with less removal of valuable tooth structure. These crowns are an excellent choice to lend strength, beauty, and longevity to damaged teeth.
Bridges: Bridges are a fixed or non-removable prosthesis constructed to replace one or more missing teeth. The teeth on either side of the existing space anchor the bridge. We are now able to construct beautiful full porcelain bridges and porcelain over metal bridges to produce beautiful aesthetic results.
Cosmetic Bonding: By directly applying a composite resin material that is tooth colored to the teeth and hardening it with a high-intensity light, Dr. McNeill can address a variety of smile concerns. Bonding is a one-appointment procedure that is used for a variety of smile issues, ranging from repairing chipped and broken teeth to closing gaps. Covering discolored and even lengthening the teeth.
Dental Implants: Dental implants are, for many, the ideal option for permanently replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants require more invasive surgery than most of our other treatments. Implants are not recommended for everyone because the patient must have existing healthy bone and gum tissue to be considered a suitable candidate. A comprehensive examination will determine whether dental implants are an appropriate option for you. If it is determined that they are, Smile Artistry will customize your implants so that they look natural and feel virtually identical to your own natural teeth.
Cosmetic Fillings: Mercury-free, tooth-colored fillings are now the accepted alternative to traditional amalgam silver fillings. Dr. McNeill supervises the creation of your fillings to ensure that they perfectly match the color of your existing teeth. No longer do patients have to endure the unsightly look of metal when they smile. As a further benefit, tooth-colored fillings are potentially safer than their traditional counterparts, as many believe that the mercury present in silver fillings may be toxic. Aside from being healthier and more aesthetically pleasing than silver fillings, tooth-colored fillings are also more resistant to breakage.
