Dentures and Partials: Custom-fitted solutions for tooth replacement, with a focus on ensuring patient satisfaction with fit and aesthetics throughout the process. Composite fillings: Tooth-colored resin fillings used for decay removal or small repairs, chosen for their strength and natural appearance over amalgam fillings. Extractions: Performed as a last resort or upon patient request, with the office typically handling most extractions, referring to oral surgeons only in rare cases. Oral Appliances for Sleep Apnea: Custom-fabricated appliances to help open airways during sleep for patients with diagnosed sleep apnea, often eliminating the need for CPAP machines. teeth whitening: In-home custom-fit trays and gel for cosmetic improvement of teeth.
