Fillings
Fillings are a routine procedure to restore teeth. Teeth need to be restored when a void is created by decay or fracture. A variety of filling materials are available. Dr Grider will evaluate the area to be filled and help you choose the restorative material that is best for you and our specific situation.

Bridges
Missing teeth not only compromise the look of your smile, but also the function of our teeth as well. When teeth are missing, our other teeth can shift causing many other problems. It is important to replace missing teeth to restore the function of our bite. One option for tooth replacement is a fixed bridge. The term “fixed” refers to the fact that it is cemented and does not come in or out. With the latest advances in technology and dental materials, bridges are an excellent solution for missing teeth.

Implant Restorations
Implants are another option of tooth replacement. An implant is a titanium screw that is placed in the bone to act like the root of a tooth. Once the implant or implants are placed, either a single crown, bridge work, or a removable denture or partial denture is fabricated to replace the missing teeth. Implants are an excellent option to tooth replacement whether it is for a single tooth, or for a full set of dentures to snap onto.
