From routine cleanings and fillings to bruxism devices, Dr. Vorcheimer is equipped to handle your dental needs. To help you understand your options, we've included descriptions of some of our leading service on this page.

Initial Oral Examination
Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations. We will also take full mouth x-rays for proper diagnosis of anterior and posterior teeth as well as cavity detecting x-rays for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.

Bonding
An alternative to veneers is a process called bonding, in which a tooth-colored material that looks like the enamel of your teeth is molded and shaped, and then hardened and polished.

Cosmetic Contouring
Teeth can become crooked, chipped, cracked, and even overlap as a result of many factors, including traumatic injury, bruxism (grinding) or even heredity. Cosmetic contouring, and reshaping procedures can remedy, and in many cases, greatly improve these conditions.

Crowns and Bridges
Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth. Bridges are natural-looking dental appliances that can replace a section of missing teeth.

Cosmetic Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings that are light cured to match your teeth. Amalgam resorations can also be used to restore defects.

Implants
Implants are synthetic structures that integrate with the bone in the area normally occupied by the root. The implants act as an artificial tooth or bridge.

Veneers
In just two or three dental visits, a veneer can reverse years of stains caused by foods, caffeine, and tobacco use.

Whitening
Teeth bleaching products, which contain peroxides, which brighten your smile in seven to ten days.

Sealants
Technology today has produced sealants, which work by filling in the crevasses on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. This shuts out food particles that could get caught in the teeth, causing cavities.

Root Canal Therapy
Endodontic (or root canal) therapy can help prevent the loss of a tooth that results from injury to the dental pulp.

Scaling and Root Planing
Some cases of acute periodontal (gum) disease that do not respond to more conventional treatment and self-care such as flossing may require a special kind of cleaning called scaling and root planing.

Dentures
Dentures are designed to replace missing teeth, and are worn by millions of Americans. Technological advancements have resulted in dentures that are lightweight and mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. Most

Cosmetic Dentistry
People choose aesthetic dental procedures/surgery for various reasons-to repair a defect such as a malformed bite or crooked teeth, treat an injury, or just improve their overall appearance. Whatever the reason, the ultimate goal is to restore a beautiful smile.
