Dr. Meden only places white composite or porcelain fillings. We are an amalgam free practice.

The bonding procedure is completed in one visit. The first step is to remove the decayed or unsightly portion of the tooth. The tooth is then etched with a liquid or gel and a bonding agent is then applied. This will allow the composite resin to be placed in the prepared tooth. The resin is then trimmed and polished, leaving you with a beautifully sculpted, natural-looking restoration.

As we age, our teeth begin to change and are prone to decay. There are many possible reasons for this change in your smile. These reasons can include bruxism (teeth grinding), general decay, cracked fillings, and root canals. A crown is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. It strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations. Crowns are highly durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color or your teeth giving you a natural, long-lasting beautiful smile. Ask about our Crowns- Done in One Visit.

Endodontics

Root canals
Endodontic surgery

In the simplest terms possible, a root canal is designed to remove the inflamed or infected contents of the root, in its entirety and make an airtight/watertight seal to prevent bacteria from re-entering. Then when the tooth is restored properly with a crown, this way the tooth should last a lifetime as long as you keep a good oral hygiene.
