Dentures

Our goal at PortSide Dental is help you maintain your natural teeth for your lifetime. Maintaining and keeping your natural teeth for as long as you can is hands down the most inexpensive and functionally best option. Gum disease, tooth decay or other dental abnormalities may cause some people to lose their teeth rapidly as they age or can even impact young adults. Dentures may be an option for some people.

Porcelain Crowns

A tooth that is fractured or broken, has a large area of decay or a large filling is a candidate for a crown. Also, many patients want to crown a tooth simply because they do not like they way the natural tooth looks. Crowning a tooth is a great option for restoring strength and function to that area of the mouth and are successful long-term with proper routine oral hygiene. There are multiple materials that can be used when making a crown with porcelain serving as most popular due to existing natural tooth shade matching.

Veneers

A veneer is a thin shell or shield of medical-grade material that is attached to the front surface of a tooth for an immediate smile transformation. Most popular are porcelain veneers due to lasting durability. Veneers are individually crafted for each patient and these cosmetic enhancements are made from acrylic or porcelain that closely resemble the appearance of natural dental enamel. Dr. Grace recommends veneers for a number of cosmetic corrections, ranging from chipped teeth to whitening to orthodontic adjustments.

Bonding

Bonding with acrylic material is a great cost effective option for patients with chipped or worn teeth. With a variety of acrylic shades to choose from, this versatile material blends nicely on teeth and also aids in protecting exposed dentin areas.
