Fillings

If your teeth succumb to decay, Dr. Chincheck may be able to remove the diseased area and restore your tooth with a dental filling. This process is one of the most common restorations performed by dentists, but not everyone offers the same results. Our dental fillings easily blend with your natural teeth, as we use a tooth-colored composite resin. Once cured, your teeth will be back to normal, and you’ll be able to eat, drink, and speak as always. Our fillings are durable, and the process is relatively simple and quick. Don’t let decay take control of your teeth.

Porcelain Inlays and Onlays

Sometimes, your teeth may be subject to a moderate amount of decay, making them unable to accept a traditional filling. For these cases, you may benefit from a porcelain inlay or onlay restoration. Inlays cover the interior biting surface of the tooth, up to the cusps, while onlays cover the cusps and exterior area of the tooth. Made from high-quality porcelain, these restorations are similar to a dental filling but actually strengthen the structure of the tooth after the decayed area has been removed. In most cases, teeth that have been restored with inlays or onlays don’t require support from a crown.

Crowns/Bridges

Dental crowns protect broken or damaged teeth and are another common restoration in the dental industry. However, we’re different, as we evaluate your specific needs to determine the best material for your crown. We use precious metals, porcelain fused to metal or metal-free porcelain crowns, and all our materials are biologically safe, nickel-free and made by a premier local lab. We ensure a perfect fit for this cap-like restoration, as we use state-of-the-art digital scans of your teeth to create it. Dr. Chincheck has been utilizing digital scanning for more than seven years, allowing her patients increased accuracy and comfort. A mouthful of impression material is no longer necessary.

Crowns work to stabilize weakened teeth from endodontic therapy or decay, restore a dental implant, or act as an anchor for prosthetics in a dental bridge.

Dental bridges are an option to replace either a missing tooth or a series of missing teeth. We anchor the natural-looking prosthetic teeth with two dental crowns, one on each side of the gap created by the missing teeth. Bridges are permanently fixed in place, and the restoration seamlessly aligns with the rest of your natural teeth. You’ll retain full functionality of your smile.

Partial Dentures

Partials are a replacement option for patients who are missing teeth but have some healthy teeth remaining. This restoration stops healthy teeth from shifting, as a beautiful prosthetic replaces the missing teeth. Different from a bridge, partials are removable and held in place by metal or with new-age plastic claps.

Digital Dentures

Patients who have lost an entire set of teeth, either upper or lower arch, or both. Because Dr. Chincheck is committed to the latest and best dental technologies, we offer a new technique whereby we fabricate dentures using digital scanning which improves the fit as well as reduces the number of appointments necessary to achieve your optimal result. We’ll create a set of stunning prosthetics that look at natural as your former teeth. Regular dentures use suction to keep them in place, and we’ll ensure the most comfortable fit. You’ll be able to use your teeth, as usual, talking, biting, and chewing, while having a full set of perfect teeth. Ask us about implant-retained dentures, too!

Implants

Dental Implants are great for patients with missing teeth. They are the closest replacement option to your natural teeth and benefit you by not only replacing the missing tooth but also by supporting and maintaining your bone structure. We restore dental implants and are happy to refer you to an oral surgeon, with whom we collaborate with on a treatment plan, for placement of the implant. The labs we use to make your crown restoration for your dental implant are all local, meaning we offer “Made in the USA” products you can be proud of supporting. In addition to traditional implant restorations, we offer implant-retained dentures and All-on-4 prosthetics. Contact us for more information.

Oral Surgery

Sometimes, the healthiest thing for your smile is to have a tooth extracted. Dr. Chincheck will thoroughly discuss the benefits and risks of having the tooth removed, as well as set you up for replacement options. You’ll feel comfortable throughout your procedure, and confident that you are receiving the utmost level of experienced care. Should you need a minor extraction, we’ll review your case. We perform some extractions in our office, but for more advanced extractions we’ll refer you to a skilled specialist.
