Missing Teeth Treatment

Treatment for Stained Teeth

From teeth whitening to porcelain veneers, we can give you a whiter smile in no time! You do not have to live with unsightly stains on your teeth. Our teeth whitening options will give you back your smile in no time. To learn more about stained teeth, see Discolored Teeth.

Repairs for Worn and Damaged Teeth

We can address tooth damage and evaluate worn teeth to look for possible TMJ related disorders, or Bruxism issues. Treating teeth grinding is important to avoid tooth damage or even loss. Consequently, it is another common symptom of an underlying bite problem. To learn more about how to stop the cause of worn teeth, see Teeth Grinding.

Treatment for Bleeding Gums

Maintaining gum health with routine dental care is a cornerstone of our practice. We also provide treatment for the common signs and symptoms of gum disease, gingivitis, and advanced periodontal disease. To learn  more about  why your gums bleed and your treatment options, see Bleeding Gums.

Frequent Headaches

Dr. Trinkner has advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of TMJ related disorders, a common cause of frequent headaches.
