Dr. Fridh uses the latest techniques
to create and maintain beautiful and healthy smiles. We are pleased to
offer our patients the following services in a friendly and comfortable
environment.
CEREC - Single
Visit Porcelain Restorations
We are pleased to offer our patients CEREC all porcelain crowns and
onlays using computer assisted design and milling (CAD/CAM) technology.
CEREC restorations are accurate, durable, and esthetic restorations
performed in a single appointment. This eliminates the need to wear
temporary crowns and come back for a second appointment to seat the
crown.
Dental Implants
Crowns and conventional bridges or dentures may not be your only options
when replacing missing teeth. For some people, dental implants offer
a smile that looks and feels very natural. Surgically placed below the
gums over a series of appointments, implants fuse to the jawbone and
serve as a base for individual replacement teeth, bridges or a denture.
Zoom! Advanced Power
Zoom! is an in office bleaching process that lightens
discoloration of enamel and dentin. In about an hour, Zoom! has the
potential to lighten your teeth 8 shades.
How does it work?
The Zoom! light activated whitening gel’s active ingredient
is hydrogen peroxide. As the hydrogen peroxide is broken down, oxygen
enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching colored substances while the
structure of the tooth is unchanged.

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers offers the ultimate in esthetics. A
veneer is a thin facing or covering that bonds to the natural tooth
structure. A much more conservative alternative to crowns (caps) that
can give you the smile you have always dreamed of and deserve.
Porcelain veneers are top line in cosmetic dentistry. If your teeth are
chipped, broken, or discolored, porcelain veneers are a great way to
change the color and shape of your teeth. Veneers can be a great
alternative to braces for slight orthodontic problems and provide a
beautiful smile in a short amount of time. The results are simply
gorgeous!
Bonding
Dental bonding can produce amazing improvements by fixing chips in your
teeth. Bo
nding is covering the front surface of teeth with durable
plastic to either change the tooth's color or shape, or to rebuild
broken teeth. Bonding is similar to veneers, but not as strong, but it
is a low-cost way to improve your smile. Bonding is great for children
who have chipped front teeth and for adults who need an alternative for
veneers and understand the limitations.
Metal Free
Crowns
Crowns, or caps, are used to restore broken or cracked teeth. The new
metal-free crowns eliminate the ugly black line you may have seen next
to the gum line on older crowns.
Tooth
Colored Fillings
Inlays and Onlays are tooth-colored restorations that are used in place
of silver fillings on the chewing surfaces of back teeth. This approach
has become very popular because silver (mercury) fillings are not safe
and are less attractive.
Dentures &
Partials
While we wish no one would ever need
dentures, sometimes they are the most reasonable option. In the past
wearing dentures was the only form of dentistry available to improve a
person’s smile. When they are indicated we take the time necessary to
create attractive, well fitting dentures. They can’t beat a set of your
own teeth when they are healthy and straight, but when natural teeth
can’t be restored dentures look great and chew well.
If a person has lost too much of
their jawbone to steady their dentures, implants can be placed. The
dentures are attached to the implants to hold them firmly in place. If
you have this problem, call us for a consultation appointment.
Root Canals
Root canal treatment, also known as
endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure in which the diseased or
damaged nerve of a tooth is removed so that the tooth can be saved or
restored.
Periodontal
Treatment
If the shape or fullness or your gums is a problem, the contours and
shape of the gums can be changed to provide a more attractive appearance
and protect the teeth. Using lasers, Dr. Fridh can shape the gum
precisely while minimizing bleeding. In some cases, synthetic bone can
be added under the gums to build areas where trauma or gum disease has
occurred.
Headaches, clenching, grinding teeth
Many people damage their teeth or give
themselves headaches by grinding or clenching their teeth during their
sleep. Some people develop jaw joint (TMJ) pain. We offer nightguard
type splints to help with this. NTI the only ADA approved splint for
the treatment of Migraine headaches.
Infection
Control
Our office is OSHA compliant, and follows the same OSHA sterilization
recommendations for hospitals.
