Restorative Procedures
Strong, healthy teeth will keep you smiling for years to come. Whether you’ve sustained injuries to your mouth or your teeth have worn over time, Dr. Yokoyama can keep your smile young and beautiful and your teeth healthy and strong. Here are a few of the procedures Dr. Yokoyama offers to restore your smile:
Implants
Are you unhappy with the appearance of your bridges or partial dentures and tired of the hassle of cleaning around them? If so, then dental implants may be the perfect solution to your problems.
Implants are a state-of-the-art option to replace missing teeth or stabilize dentures. They are highly successful and provide a solid, stable platform to restore your smile.
Dr. Yokoyama coordinates treatment with an oral surgeon who places the implant posts into the jawbone. This helps to ensure the best possible cosmetic as well as functional result so the restoration looks and feels natural and comfortable. Once the bone heals around the implant, Dr. Yokoyama crafts restorations to replace the missing teeth and places them on top of the implant posts.
Bonding
Chipped, stained or worn teeth can be repaired with an application of composite resin bonding directly on the tooth's surface. This procedure allows Dr. Yokoyama to restore or enhance your smile in just one visit.

Tooth Colored Bonded Fillings
Advances in dental materials and bonding technology have made tooth colored restorations an excellent alternative to silver mercury fillings. In addition to strengthening teeth, tooth colored restorations look natural and are biocompatible. You’ll never have to look at unsightly silver/black amalgam fillings again!
