Teeth are meant to last a lifetime. With the comprehensive dental exams at Brown Family Dentistry, we will know exactly how to ensure you have a beautiful and functional smile.

Keeping a healthy mouth requires maintenance. Catch what flossing and brushing miss. Keep your regularly scheduled appointments with Brown Family Dentistry for thorough dental cleanings to maintain your smile.

Crowns are synthetic teeth-like coverings that are designed to make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance. Crowns can be tooth colored or gold. Crowns are necessary when a tooth is generally broken down and fillings won’t solve the problem. A crown is a restoration that covers, or “caps,” a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, strengthening and improving the appearance of a tooth.

Crowns normally last between five and eight years. Many last much longer if you practice good daily oral hygiene. Teeth grinding, chewing ice, or fingernail biting may lower the life expectancy of your crown significantly, however.

Avoid chewing hard foods, ice or other hard objects. Cleaning between your teeth is vital with crowns. Floss or interdental cleaners (specially shaped brushes and sticks) are important tools to remove plaque from the crown area where the gum meets the tooth. Plaque in that area can cause dental decay and gum disease.

Dentures are no longer the only way to restore a mouth that has little or no non-restorable teeth. Strategically placed supports such as implants can now be used to support permanently cemented bridges, eliminating the need for a denture. Dental implants are becoming the alternative of choice to dentures, but not everyone is a candidate for implants.

Candidates for complete dentures have lost most or all of their teeth. A partial denture is suitable for those who have some natural teeth remaining. A denture improves chewing ability and speech, and provides support for facial muscles. It will greatly enhance the facial appearance and smile.

At Brown Family Dentistry, our composite fillings match the color of the original tooth, and can actually help discourage any new decay in the future, with proper oral hygiene, of course.

Root canal therapy is performed in order to save a tooth which has become infected due to a deep cavity, fracture, or trauma. The procedure involves cleaning out the diseased blood vessels and nerves and permanently sealing off the tooth. Typically, this procedure is followed with a crown to restore form and function to the tooth.

We make our patients aware of every option before we perform an extraction. At Brown Family Dentistry, we strive to make an extraction the last resort for our patients. Dr. Brown and his staff will explain all options of replacing any missing teeth to restore your mouth to form and function.

Always wanted to straighten your teeth but did not want to have metal braces? Invisalign can help. Invisalign is a series of clear aligners that straighten your teeth over time. Invisalign is a great alternative to conventional orthodontics. Not all patients are good candidates though. Schedule an appointment to discuss treatment options.

At Brown Family Dentistry, we can provide multiple alternatives to enhance your smile and overall appearance. Procedures like whitening, dental bonding, veneers, and contour and reshaping can be used to treat discolored, chipped, misshaped or missing teeth.

We see patients of all ages! We recommend seeing kids as young as 1 year old. Starting kids out with proper dental habits will keep their smile looking great as they mature.

Teeth whitening or bleaching can help remove any surface stains your teeth may have picked up over time. Let us help you get your beautiful white smile back!
