Invisalign's invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners will give you the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted. It's rare for most people to have perfect teeth. While brushing and flossing regularly, and coming in for regular cleanings can certainly go a long way to maintaining a healthy smile. Infants should be seen by our office after the first six months of age, and at least by the child's first birthday.

We are a modern, family friendly, general dentistry office located conveniently between the Verona and Penn Hills suburbs of eastern Pittsburgh. Dr. James Petraitis has been voted as one of Pittsburgh's best dentists by Pittsburgh Magazine and Alcoma Dental Associates won a readers choice award from the Pittsburgh Tribune Review. Dr. Petraitis was one of the first dentists in the Pittsburgh area to adopt CEREC technology (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics).

It's rare for most people to have perfect teeth.
While brushing and flossing regularly, and coming in for regular cleanings can certainly go a long way to maintaining a healthy smile, unfortunately, issues such as decay or infection weaken a tooth so much that even a dental filling just won't cut it.
When this happens, a root canal is often needed.
After which a dental crown is placed.
In the past, the process of getting a root canal and then waiting a week or more for a dental crown was time-consuming for patients.
Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth's function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal.
When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth.
In our office we have a technology known as CEREC.
This allows us to take a digital impression of your tooth and make you an all porcelain crown all in one visit.
No need for a messy impression, second visit, or a temporary crown.
The procedure usually takes an hour and half to two hours and can be done for most crowns that are needed on a single tooth.
