A crown is used to entirely cover or “cap” a damaged tooth. Besides strengthening a damaged tooth, a crown can be used to improve its appearance, shape or alignment. A crown can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function.
Dental bridges bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge is a false tooth that is held in place by the teeth on either side of the gap.
Although dental bridges can be made from a variety of materials such as gold, typically they’re made from porcelain to aesthetically blend in with your natural teeth. Bridges can restore your smile and maintain the shape of your face.
Dental fillings are artificial substances that are used to fill in the holes or gaps in the enamel of decayed, broken or damaged teeth.
Fillings are also used to repair teeth that have been worn down from misuse (such as from nail-biting or tooth grinding).
A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. partial dentures usually consist of replacement teeth attached to pink or gum-colored plastic bases.
A partial denture may have a metal framework and clasps that connect to your teeth, or they can have other connectors that are more natural looking.
Root canal is a quick procedure that can help relieve tooth pain & save a damaged tooth.
Root canals are used to repair and save your tooth instead of removing it.
This commonly performed procedure can also prevent a later need for dental implants or bridges.
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. Teeth that are broken or damaged by decay can be fixed with a filling, crown, or other dental treatment.
Sometimes, though, the damage is too severe to repair, so the dentist will recommend extraction

“My daughter had her first exam with them today. I gave them a heads-up about my daughter, who has autism and anxiety. We could not be more pleased with how we were treated. The receptionist is a sweetheart on the phone and in person. The dental hygienist assistant (not sure on the proper terminology) was patient and kind with instructions and a very sweet demeanor in general. And Dr. Korat was quick and precise when it came down to a game plan. Overall we are excited to have them as a dentist. 100% would recommend them on hospitality alone!”
-Kaitlynn Davis

“My 12 yr. old granddaughter had to have dental surgery done a year ago and the dentist she was going to had retired after sending her for the surgery. We went to Dr Koart and are so happy to have someone like him that comes to our community. He took his time with her and explained everything he was doing. Very careful that she didn’t see anything going into her mouth that would scare her as she was already very nervous to the point of tears. After 2 fillings and 2 baby teeth pulled she was very pleased. When I asked her on a scale of 1-10 how bad was it, she rated it a 2. I say that’s pretty good for a scared child to rate her experience of having that done , ‘while I’m still awake”, as she put it. Great, gentle , kind and efficient. We will continue being his patients.”
