Natural looking dental implants are an alternative to crowns or bridges and are practically like growing your teeth back, although they are actually stronger than a natural tooth. Implants help preserve the jawbone, prevent unnecessary space between the teeth, and eliminate the need to wear bulky and uncomfortable partials and dentures. Dr. Harris is highly experienced in performing dental implants, giving new hope to patients with lost or missing teeth.
Cosmetic dentistry has advanced greatly in recent years, providing the opportunity to virtually recreate a damaged smile. Porcelain veneers correct stains, misalignment, minor chips and other imperfections, and porcelain crowns improve the appearance and function of injured or damaged teeth by covering and protecting the entire surface of the tooth. Dr. Harris performs smile restorations using only the best materials and techniques available today.
Dr. Harris offers numerous options for restoring teeth that have been damaged, decayed or lost. She uses white composite materials instead of silver fillings to fill cavities. Inlays and Onlays are more extensive restorations to damaged teeth that can drastically improve your smile. Bonding restores chipped or broken teeth, fills in gaps and can reshape and recolor your smile.
In addition to more complex cosmetic procedures, Dr. Harris performs routine touch-ups such as tooth recontouring and polishing, soft tissue recontouring and state-of-the-art tooth whitening and brightening services, including dark and super-white spot reduction. Whether you are preparing for a special event or just want to improve your look overall, these simple and noninvasive procedures will help make your smile its shiny best.

This replaces stabbing the tooth with and instrument. This low-powered laser detects decayed areas on and in the tooth and alerts Dr. Harris to the severity of the cavity by indicating a digital number ranging from 1 to 100+. Early detection of cavities prevents the loss of tooth structure, keeping the tooth strong and resistant to fracture.
Dr. Harris uses lasers for many purposes including filling cavities (pain-free with no anesthetic), teeth whitening, gum reshaping and minor surgical procedures. New laser technology has also been developed and approved by the FDA to treat Periodontal Disease. The laser uses low energy power to treat the diseased gums and deep pockets, often without anesthesia.
Digital X-Rays offer an 80 percent reduction in radiation with no need for film or processing chemicals. Images are instant and allow for color contrasting, improving diagnostics and treatment of serious dental issues.
The innovative treatment of cavities without drilling allows you to stop cavities early without pain or any unecessary loss of healthy hard tissue. It is not only used in the treatment of early cavities but also used on white spots after braces. This breakthrough micro-invasive technology fills and reinforces demineralized enamel without drilling or anesthesia.
The Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA) System takes the guesswork out of administering anesthetic, enabling Dr. Harris to precisely administer a painfree injection to numb a single tooth instead of the entire lower jaw. STA has an immediate onset of one to two minutes, whereas the typical injection can take eight to 12 minutes.
