Dental & Restorative Implants

Dental implants are essentially permanent, attached teeth that replace, partials, bridges or dentures. A titanium implant is permanently attached to your bone and a prosthetic tooth (crown) is attached to the implant. Implants are preferred to bridges because they can improve your bite without damaging neighbouring teeth (like a bridge). Treatment can be finished in 3 to 5 visits over the space of about 4 to 12 months. More...

Sedation Dentistry

You can have a healthy and beautiful smile with amazingly comfortable sedation dentistry. We care for patients with these concerns:

• I’m afraid of needles and shots.
• I’ve had bad experiences before.
• I have not been to the dentist in a long time.
• I always gag when having dental work done.
• I just can’t seem to get numb.
• All my teeth are too far gone.

Dentures

If you've lost teeth from decay, injury or periodontal (gum) disease, dentures are the solution. Whether partial or full dentures, they're essential not only to your aesthetics, but also your oral health. In addition to allowing you to eat as if you never lost your teeth, dentures protect against facial sagging that would otherwise occur and give you a more aged appearance, as well as promote your natural speech. Denture maintenance, combined with a regular regiment of proper brushing, can guarantee you a comfortable, healthy mouth for the rest of your life. Please call us today to discuss the numerous available options in more detail.

Bonding

A bonding is a composite resin that is used as an alternative to veneers. This is an excellent cosmetic option for those patients who do not want the expense of veneers. Bondings can be used on teeth that are decayed, cracked, or stained.

Although composite resins are cosmetically pleasing, affordable and easily placed, their durability is not as strong as other types of restorations. These resins typically last from 4-7 years before they begin to chip and wear away. When this happens, the restoration will need to be replaced.

Bridges

A bridge is one of the few options that you have when deciding how to deal with a missing tooth or teeth. The replacement of these missing teeth is necessary in order to maintain the proper mouth functions. Tooth loss can affect the way you eat, speak, and the alignment of other teeth in your mouth. At Tamarac Dental Associates PA, we have a number of different options available and will discuss with you which option will work best for you. More...

Dental Hygiene and Cleanings

In addition to the meticulous cleaning, polishing, and examination of your teeth, we also take the time to help our patients develop proper oral hygiene habits at home. We will evaluate your hygiene techniques and make adjustments to your routine where needed. Our doctors and hygienists will also make suggestions for preventative measures such as dental sealants or nightguards to protect against bruxism & TMJ.

If we feel that you are suffering from gingivitis or more severe gum disease, we may recommend a root scaling or planing. These measures can be instrumental in preventing bone loss and helping you to keep your natural teeth. Oral Cancer Screenings | Scaling & Root Planing

Mercury-Free Dentistry

We understand your concerns regarding the use of mercury fillings. Accordingly, at our office we have elected to offer our patients the option of using advanced, new fillings made of tooth-colored materials that contain no metals or mercury, instead of traditional silver fillings.

Crowns

Crowns, also called caps, are natural-looking covers that fit snugly over teeth to conceal cracked, badly discolored, injured, or chipped teeth. Crowns minimize physical discomfort and provide support for damaged teeth. Ultimately, crowns can improve the overall appearance of your smile while making your teeth more resistant to injury. More...
