Veneers
If your teeth are chipped, broken, or discolored, porcelain
veneers are a great way to change the color and shape of your
teeth. A porcelain veneer is a covering over the tooth that
gives natural color and bridges small gaps. Veneers can be a
great alternative to braces for slight orthodontic problems and
provide a beautiful smile in a short amount of time.

Crowns & Bridges
Dr. Blum provides excellent restorative dental care. If your
teeth are damaged or decayed, crowns may be constructed to
restore them back to their original form. If you have missing
teeth, a bridge may be utilized. These restorations are
cemented onto the teeth and are referred to as "fixed" dentistry
as opposed to a restoration of missing teeth with a removable
appliance or partial denture.
Implant
Reconstruction
Implants are an increasingly popular alternative to dentures,
crowns and bridges. They have many advantages, including their
natural appearance, improved comfort and unequaled convenience.
If you are considering implants, we can discuss the
considerations and help you make the decision that is right for
you.
Root Canal
Root canal treatment, also known
as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure in which the
diseased or damaged nerve of a tooth is removed so that the
tooth can be saved or restored.
Bonding
Bonding is covering the front surface of teeth with durable
plastic to either change the tooth's color or shape, or to
rebuild a broken tooth. Bonding is similar to veneers, but not as
strong, but it is a low-cost way to improve your smile. Bonding
is great for children who have chipped front teeth and for
adults who need an alternative for veneers and understand the
limitations.
Tooth Colored
Fillings
Inlays and Onlays are tooth-colored restorations that are used
in place of silver fillings on the chewing surfaces of back
teeth. This approach has become very popular because silver
(mercury) fillings are not safe and are less attractive.
Gum Therapy /
Shaping
If the shape or fullness or your gums is a problem, the contours
and shape of the gums can be changed to provide a more
attractive appearance and protect the teeth. Using lasers, Dr.
Blum can shape the gum precisely while minimizing bleeding. In
some cases, synthetic bone can be added under the gums to build
areas where trauma or gum disease has occurred.
TMJ/Migraine Therapy
TMJ Dysfunction is a popular term
to describe a disorder of the jaw joints or the muscles that
control the joints. Symptoms masquerade as a multitude of other
problems such as sinus headaches, migraines, neck and shoulder
stiffness and earaches. Dr. Blum successfully treats TMJ and
Migraines.
