Dr. Fred Tripodi

Services We Provide

       Our office provides a wide scope of dental services to all age
groups.  These services include:

       Implant Restorations- implants are placed to replace a
missing tooth or teeth which are then restored with crowns.

       Crowns and Bridges- when a tooth is broken, damaged by
decay or trauma, or has large failing restorations the teeth should
be restored with a crown which will strengthen and protect the
remaining tooth structure and can also improve the appearance of
your smile.  Crowns are made of either all porcelain, porcelain
fused to metal (usually a gold alloy) or a full metal crown (usually a
gold alloy).

    Removable Partial Dentures
    Complete Dentures
    Root Canals
    Oral Surgery
    Periodontal Therapy- treatment of gums and supporting                 
                             structure (bone support).

Cosmetics

• Bleaching- tooth whitening is a bleaching process that
  lightens the discolorations of enamel and dentin.  A mild
  solution is used that is retained in a custom-fitted tray.  This
  tray is worn over your teeth either during the day or while you
  sleep.
  
• Bonding- restores cracked, discolored misaligned or
  chipped teeth by rebuilding the surface with a porcelain or
  composite material .
  
• Laminates- porcelain laminate veneers bond custom made
  tooth-shaped shells to correct or camouflage discoloration,
  misalignment or damage.
  
• White restoration- porcelain inlays or bonded composite
  fillings.  Inlays and onlays are tooth-colored restorations
  that are placed on the chewing surfaces.  They can be used
  instead of silver fillings or to replace existing silver fillings.
  

Periodontal Therapy-treatment of gums and support structure
(bone support).
