Cosmetic Dentistry

Expect a confident smile that you can be proud of!

Cosmetic crowns, porcelain fillings and veneers make your teeth stronger and give you a healthy natural smile that suits your facial features. All in a single visit using the office laboratory.

Dr. Spalenka is an expert at color matching, assisted by daylight color-corrected lighting throughout the practice to achieve a truly natural look.

If you need implants to restore your smile, Dr. Spalenka will complete the entire procedure himself in the comfort and convenience of his own office.

Root Canal Treatment

Also known as endodontic therapy, a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage to the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth). The process involves removing the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection. This treatment saves the natural tooth and alleviates pain, restoring its function.

Performed to address issues in a tooth that has previously undergone root canal therapy but has not healed properly or has developed new problems. It involves reopening the tooth, removing the existing filling material, cleaning and disinfecting the canals again, and then refilling and sealing the tooth to resolve the infection or issues and promote proper healing.
