Dental Bridge
If you are missing only one or two teeth, there are two excellent options for replacing those teeth. You can have a dental bridge or a dental implant, depending on what works best for you.
Porcelain Crowns & Veneers
Crowns and veneers can be made the same shade, texture, and translucency as your natural teeth. These are great options to create a totally natural look.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are becoming the standard of care for replacing missing teeth. We'll work with you to create a smile you'll be proud of.
Porcelain Crowns & Veneers
Crowns and veneers can be made the same shade, texture, and translucency as your natural teeth. These are great options to create a totally natural look.
New Patients
At your initial appointment, Dr. Bruce and a member of his team will sit down with you to discuss your past dental experiences, any problems that you are aware of and what your desires and goals are in terms of your dental care. We will then take any necessary X-rays, do a screening for oral cancer, a periodontal exam to screen for gum disease and comprehensive examination of all existing and any necessary treatment.
At that time, we will determine what level of cleaning that you need and set you up with an appointment to clean your teeth.
