	Porcelain Veneers Porcelain veneers are the most conservative aesthetic restorations available in dentistry. A thin layer of the front tooth is removed to allow porcelain to be bonded to the tooth without making it any thicker. The veneer covers dark or yellow teeth, fills unsightly gaps, lengthens short or stubby teeth and straightens crooked teeth. Veneers are a lasting solution. The veneers are attached to the teeth using the most advanced methods of bonding principle. The end result is a strong, functional, natural-looking and beautiful smile!
	Implants Implants are changing the way people live! With implants, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life. Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. A person with implants regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours have been preserved. Implants consist of small titanium posts which are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition to restoring a natural appearance in the mouth, implants can help preserve facial structure.

	Crowns & Bridges If you have missing teeth, you know the emotional pain they cause... embarrassment, lowered self-esteem and a loss of confidence. They can also lead to gum disease, bite problems, bone loss and speech difficulties. You don't have to live this way. A bridge is a comfortable, attractive solution. Custom-fit, a bridge is a false tooth (or teeth) that is permanently placed between two healthy teeth and is held in place by porcelain crowns.
	Bonding Chipping, discolored or gapped teeth can be embarrassing and can affect your self-esteem and confidence. Bonding is the perfect solution. Inexpensive and conservative, bonding uses a tooth-colored composite material to restore teeth and enhance smiles. The composite is place on the tooth, then shaped and molded to achieve the desired result, including: whitening, closing spaces between teeth, making teeth appear straighter and repairing chips and cracks. The material is then hardened and polished, creating a natural appearance.
	Laser Dentistry "Gummy smiles" are a very common problem, caused by overgrowth of the gum tissue that covers the teeth. This unsightly occurrence can be caused by a variety of things, including heredity, health conditions and even the use of many common high blood pressure medications. A gummy smile will dominate the mouth, making the teeth seem almost secondary in appearance. We use a laser to change the look and shape of the gums. The laser actually vaporizes unnecessary and unsightly tissue with unmatched accuracy and effectiveness. What is left in the place of the overgrown gums is a healthy-looking, well-proportioned smiles. The process takes only a few minutes for most, and there is usually very little discomfort.
	Full Mouth Restoration For patients in need of extensive and complex dental restoration, Dr. Ward is able to perform full mouth restoration to improve the health, function, and appearance of your smile.
	Tooth Colored Fillings If your teeth are filled with dark, gray metal fillings, you've got more to worry about than your appearance. Metal amalgams can damage teeth. Temperature sensitive, amalgams expand with heat and contract with cold. This movement weakens the tooth wall, leading to fractures, and also allows bacteria to enter and cause decay. They contain mercury which may have negative long-term health effects. Tooth-colored composite fillings are a safer, stronger, more attractive and more enduring alternative to metal. They conservatively restore your teeth to strength and your smile to beauty.
	TMJ Therapy "TMJ" stands for temporomandibular joint, or the jaw joint. The TMJs are the small joints in front of each ear that attach the lower jaw to the skull. They allow you to perform such functions as opening and closing your mouth, chewing, speaking and swallowing. TMJ conditions are manifested by pain in the muscles along with limitations in the ability to execute normal movements. If you suffer from such pain, neuromuscular dentistry can help!
	Root Canal Therapy With today's modern dental techniques, having root canals done by a dentist is no longer a scary experience. Dr. Ward is experienced in performing root canal therapy. Extensive decay, an accident, tooth fracture or gum disease can kill teeth and cause a root canal symptom such as root canal pain or a dental abscess. However, regardless of the root canal cause, your teeth can be saved using modern therapy to do root canal treatment.
