Dental implants: how it works ShowA natural molar beside a dental implant: a crown on an abutment, joined to a titanium post set in the jawbone, which bone grows onto over several months.
Veneers & cosmetic: how it works ShowA front tooth with a veneer, a thin shell on the front surface only, beside a front tooth with a crown covering all of it above the gum.
Root canal: how it works ShowRoot canal treatment in four steps: inflamed pulp, an opening in the top with the pulp cleaned out, the canals filled and sealed, then a crown on top.
Gum treatment: how it works ShowThree molars: a healthy gum; gum disease with tartar below the gum line, a pocket and bone loss; and after deep cleaning, the tartar gone and the root smoothed.
