As children, our teeth are round, smaller, flat-sided, and the biting edge is flat. Our permanent teeth have ridges (mamelons) on a rounded biting edge, are larger, there are more of them, and their roots are much deeper. How we clean and maintain our teeth is different. The problems we avoid are also different.

Dental veneers, crowns, bridges, and inlays will help to resolve deeper dental appearance or comfort issues and fill you with smiles of confidence. Invisible dental alignment tooth-guards can correct misalignment over time without the pain and expense of braces if they can be avoided and achieve correction.
