Porcelain Crowns

Dental crowns are often called “caps.” They cover teeth to restore them to their appropriate shape and size after large fillings, fractures or weakening forces such as intense grinding. In all these cases, crowns not only cover teeth, but also provide added support. Crowns can be used to attach fixed dental bridges, cover dental implants, restore seriously discolored or misshapen teeth, and even as a preventive measure to protect a tooth in danger of breaking. With porcelain crowns, you can have the restoration that you need while maintaining the natural-looking, beautiful smile you desire.

Bridges

Dental bridges are fixed appliances that work to restore the structure and function of your teeth after tooth loss. These appliances are non-removable, so they will become a permanent part of your SMILE. There are many different types of bridges, and we can help you to choose the option that is best for your dental needs.

Reasons for Choosing a Fixed Bridge
  • Restore Your Smile
  • Improve Your Ability to Speak and Chew Normally
  • Maintain Your Facial Shape
  • Fill in Spaces Left By Missing Teeth
  • Prevent Remaining Teeth From Shifting
  • Removable Denture Upgrade

Porcelain Veneers

If you’re ready for a dramatic smile makeover, porcelain veneers can totally change the appearance of your teeth to give you the smile of your dreams! Veneers are thin, custom-made casings applied to the front side of teeth to change their shape, color, or general appearance in practically any way you desire. After consulting with you about your treatment options, Dr. Cooper will create a model based on the smile makeover look of your choice. We will send the model to a dental technician in a lab who will then make your actual veneers with durable, tooth-colored materials that will look and feel natural in your mouth.


When porcelain veneers are applied, a small amount of tooth enamel usually needs to be removed to fit the veneers onto the teeth. For this reason, veneers are typically an irreversible treatment, so it is important to be prepared for a permanent improvement in the look and feel of your smile!

Bonding

Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored composite resin (a durable plastic material) is used to repair a decayed, chipped, fractured, discolored tooth and hardened with a special light, which ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth to restore or improve your smile. Tooth bonding is a popular treatment option which provides a successful attachment between the filling material and the tooth’s original enamel and dentin. It looks like the original tooth and functions like it as well.

Dental Implants

With our dental implant restoration, you will be able to enjoy all of your favorite foods again! Don’t let a missing tooth or teeth stop you from flashing your pearly whites. Dental implants are an alternative to dentures that work and feel like your own teeth, and they look just as natural, too. We always keep your comfort as our top priority. Call our family dentistry today if you are in Greensboro, NC and need teeth whitening, tooth-colored fillings and more!

Tooth Colored Fillings & More

Cavities develop due to plaque in your mouth. This film of bacteria collects on teeth and processes sugar to create acids. The acids attack the enamel tissue surrounding your teeth, and over time, a hole (cavity) develops. If your tooth is cracked or decayed, a dental filling can restore the tooth. The decayed portion of the tooth will be removed and filled in with a composite to match your natural tooth.


Tooth-colored fillings are becoming more popular because most people prefer their fillings to look more natural. We often do not want someone to see we have many cavities when we smile or open our mouths. While tooth-colored fillings are usually used for fillings, they can also help repair any broken or chipped teeth by bonding to your teeth without having to remove much of the natural tooth. Our dentists will be able to match the shade and color of your tooth, so no one will ever notice it is there. If you want your teeth to look natural even after a cavity or chipped tooth, talk to our dental office about tooth-colored fillings!



If you are experiencing tooth pain, contact our dental office to learn more about our treatments and to schedule an appointment.

Partial Dentures

We also offer partial dentures for patients looking for a more economical solution instead of a bridge or implant. With partial dentures, you’ll have no reason to hide that beautiful SMILE. If partial dentures are not suitable for your condition, Dr. Cooper may recommend the following alternatives:

Bridges for replacing missing teeth and preventing adjacent teeth from shifting out of place
Implants for support and stable anchor when placing a bridge or partial denture
Dentures for multiple tooth restorations
Delaying treatment when the procedure might only aggravate the condition of the teeth and gums

Contact us to discuss the different options to help you achieve that perfect SMILE.

Relaxing Nitrous Oxide Analgesia 

Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedative agent that is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a small mask that fits over your nose to help you relax. Nitrous oxide, sometimes called “laughing gas,” is one option Dr. Cooper may offer to help make you more comfortable during certain dental procedures. However, nitrous oxide is not intended to put you to sleep. You will be able to hear and respond to any requests or directions Dr. Cooper may have during your procedure.


Contact us today about whether relaxing nitrous oxide analgesia would be a good option for you.

Mouth Guards

The Office of J. Selig Cooper, DDS, PA, prescribe and create custom-fit mouth guards from thermoplastic material which are based on a detailed mold taken of your mouth and teeth. A mouth guard can be made for either sports or for nighttime teeth grinding and are created differently depending on the intended use. Dr. Cooper can adjust the thickness of the mouth guard to fit perfectly in your mouth with no adjustments needed.


Mouth guards are used to treat bruxism or teeth clenching and grinding. Bruxism may lead to tooth damage, headaches, jaw pain, facial pain, and other dental and health problems. Wearing a custom mouth guard can prevent teeth clenching and grinding and avoid these painful effects of bruxism. Dr. Cooper will ensure your mouth guard fits comfortably and works to prevent teeth grinding.


Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
Night Guards
If you are experiencing chronic headaches and migraines because of involuntary nighttime teeth clenching, Dr. Cooper can help you by prescribing and creating a custom- fit night guard. A night guard is a thin, transparent device that is worn over the biting surface of your teeth while you sleep to prevent contact between the upper and lower teeth. Night guards have also proven to be an effective remedy for patients who are suffering from the effects of grinding and clenching their teeth while sleeping.
