- Dental ExaminationPreventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet. It is continued in the dental office through regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive treatments that help protect the teeth.

- FillingsThere are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Composite fillings (tooth colored), along with silver amalgam fillings, are the most widely used today. Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the shade of existing teeth, and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or on more visible areas of the mouth.
- Veneers
- CrownsCrowns can repair or restore a tooth significantly damaged by injury or decay. With the old process, the Dentist typically puts a temporary crown on the damaged tooth and waits a few weeks for the permanent crown to be back from the lab. For the best client experience, Millenium Dental now uses the Cerec, or Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. This machine produces a crown the same day, right in the office. That means one appointment, no impressions, and no temporary crown.
- BridgesA dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance and is a device to replace missing teeth. There are several types of bridges. The traditional bridge is the most popular type and is usually made of porcelain fused to metal. This type of bridge consists to two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are attached to pontics (artificial teeth), filling the space created by one or more missing teeth.
- DenturesA denture is a prosthetic removable dental appliance constructed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They are supported by surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. They are made to closely resemble your natural teeth.

- Invisalign OrthodonticsInvisalign is the best way to transform your smile without interfering with your day-to-day life. You only remove the aligners to eat, drink, brush and floss. Since they have smooth edges they are comfortable to wear without irritating the gingival tissue (gums) and cheek. As you replace each set of aligners with the next in the series, your teeth will gradually move until they reach the position the doctor has prescribed for you. The length of treatment is determined by the doctor for your specific case.
- BracesYour Invisalign treatment will consist of a series of clear, removable aligners that you switch out about every two weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually move your teeth into place without the pain and without metal braces.
