Do you grind or clench your teeth at night? 😴🦷

Common symptoms include:
⚡ Headaches or jaw pain
⚡ Worn or cracked teeth
⚡ Tongue indentations
⚡ Tension in the face or neck

A custom night guard worn while you sleep can help protect your teeth, relax your jaw muscles, and prevent long-term damage.

Sleep better and wake up with a healthier smile! 🌙✨

Oral cancer screenings save lives! 🌸🦷

During your routine checkup, our team carefully examines your mouth, head, and neck for any lumps, color changes, or unusual areas. Detecting problems early means they can be treated before they become serious.

⚠️ Risk factors include:
– To***co use
– Heavy alcohol consumption
– Excessive sun exposure
– Previous cancer history

We use advanced screening methods, such as special lights or dyes, to help identify areas of concern early on.

Your smile is precious — protect it with regular screenings! 💙

Sometimes a smile needs a complete rebuild. 🛠️🦷

Full mouth reconstruction focuses on rebuilding and rehabilitating severely damaged dental structures — whether due to accidents, wear, or long-term neglect. This comprehensive process may include procedures such as crowns, bridges, veneers, root scaling, sinus lifts, and teeth whitening.

Our approach often involves collaboration among specialists — including periodontists, endodontists, oral surgeons, and orthodontists — to ensure every aspect of your oral health is restored.

We focus on three key areas:
✅ Teeth rehabilitation – restoring or replacing damaged teeth with crowns, bridges, or implants
✅ Gum treatment – addressing gum disease or recession
✅ Jawbone restoration – correcting bone loss, injury, or TMJ issues

If you’re facing extensive dental challenges, we’ll help rebuild your smile — one step at a time. 😁✨

Looking for natural-looking dental restorations? 🌿🦷
Consider metal-free options for a beautiful, long-lasting smile!

Metal-free restorations—like porcelain crowns and bridges, zirconia crowns, composite resin fillings, porcelain veneers, and inlays/onlays—are designed to mimic the color, translucency, and texture of natural teeth while maintaining strength and durability.

✅ Biocompatible and safe for patients with metal sensitivities
✅ Resistant to stains and wear
✅ Preserve more of your natural tooth structure

Crowns and bridges both restore your smile — but they serve different purposes! 🦷✨

Bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth by connecting prosthetic teeth to your natural teeth or implants. They can be removable (for flexibility) or permanent (for a secure, long-lasting solution).

Crowns, on the other hand, cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth rather than replacing them. They help strengthen teeth that are broken, chipped, or cracked — and can even save a tooth that might otherwise need extraction.

Not sure which option is right for you? Our team can help you decide the best way to restore your smile! 😁

A dental bridge does more than replace a missing tooth — it supports your overall oral health! 🦷✨

When you lose a back tooth, your mouth can shift and your face may appear older. A bridge helps support your lips and cheeks, maintaining your natural facial structure and smile.

Bridges also:
✅ Prevent stress on gums and surrounding teeth
✅ Lower the risk of gum disease
✅ Help maintain clear speech

Let’s keep your smile functional, confident, and youthful! 😁

Missing a tooth? A dental bridge can restore your smile and your confidence! 🌉🦷

Bridges replace missing teeth by attaching artificial teeth to neighboring natural ones — either through crowns (fixed bridge) or precision attachments (removable bridge). They don’t just fill gaps — they help you chew better, speak clearly, and maintain your face’s natural shape.

Let us help you bring balance and beauty back to your smile!

Your front teeth do all the smiling — keep them looking their best! 😁✨

Anterior crowns are specially crafted for the teeth that show the most—your incisors and canines. Whether you’ve chipped a tooth, had a root canal, or simply want to improve the shape or color of your smile, these crowns offer strength and stunning aesthetics.

If you're ready to restore beauty and function where it matters most, we’re here to help!

🦷 Thinking about getting a crown but unsure of the process? Let’s break it down! ⏱️👨‍⚕️

The procedure typically takes just two visits:
1️⃣ At your first appointment, we remove any decay, shape the tooth, and take an impression—then place a temporary crown.
2️⃣ About two weeks later, your custom crown is ready. You’ll return for a quick visit to permanently attach it with a perfect fit.

It’s that simple—protect your tooth and restore function with minimal downtime.

🦷 Ever wondered what a dental crown really does?

A crown is more than just a cap—it restores function, protects weakened teeth, and blends flawlessly with your natural smile. At Durham Prosthodontics, we use advanced materials like porcelain and ceramic to craft crowns that look, feel, and last like natural teeth.

Whether you’ve had a root canal, a cracked tooth, or extensive decay, our custom crowns are built for durability—often lasting far beyond the typical lifespan thanks to our specialist expertise.

🦷 When a Simple Filling Won’t Cut It… Inlays & Onlays to the Rescue!

If more than half of your tooth’s biting surface is damaged, inlays and onlays might be the perfect solution. At Durham Prosthodontics, we use these advanced restorations to strengthen and protect your tooth—without the need for a full crown.

✨ What’s the difference?
• Inlays fit inside the cusps of the tooth
• Onlays extend over one or more cusps for added coverage

Made from porcelain, composite, or gold, they’re bonded into place for a snug, natural-looking fit.
✅ Boosts tooth strength by up to 75%
✅ Preserves more of your natural tooth
✅ Can last 10–30 years with proper care

A smart, durable alternative to crowns when damage isn’t too extensive!
