In the past, fillings were exclusively made of a silver material called amalgam. While it does a wonderful job of restoring a tooth’s strength, it always leaves a very noticeable gray mark that makes many patients self-conscious.

This treatment is excellent because it won’t just make your tooth look great again, but you’ll be able to rely on it whenever you eat or smile. We can use a crown to repair any tooth in your mouth, and with the proper maintenance, they can easily last for more than ten years.
Do you have a tooth or a row of consecutive teeth missing? If so, a dental bridge could be the perfect solution.

Our first priority is always to preserve your natural teeth, but sometimes the best course of treatment may involve extracting one.
This can be the case if:
We’ll always use a gentle touch when performing your extraction. We’ll also answer any questions you might have, and we’ll sufficiently numb the area using a local anesthetic.
Often, patients are completely unaware of when their tooth is removed because Dr. Hu’s touch is so gentle.
In the case of a wisdom tooth extraction, you’ll be put under a gentle form of general anesthesia, so you’ll be asleep during your treatment and will have little to no memory of it afterward.
