Summer is finally here, with June 21st being the official first day of summer and the longest sun lit day of the year. Whether you're drawn to the beach, the campfire or the patio we hope you make the most of the warm weather and get outside – it will be winter again before you know it. As your children are wrapping up another school year be sure to schedule them for a dental appointment before their schedule is filled with trips, summer camps, and summer jobs.

We also want to wish a Happy Father's Day to all of the Dads on June 19th. If you're having trouble coming up with something special to do, check out this top 25 gifts list from a popular men's website. There's also no shame in sticking to the classics like golfing or fishing, ties & socks – they're classics for a reason!

Wishing you and your family a safe and wonderful summer.

If a tooth has been damaged or decayed to an extent where a filling will not suffice, a Crown is often needed to restore the tooth's shape, strength and structural function.

A Crown, as its name suggests, is a covering that is placed over the affected tooth. The tooth is prepared by removing any decayed area and shaping the tooth to be capped. The Cap is then cemented in place to protect the tooth for years to come. Crowns are also used to reinforce a tooth that has been badly cracked or broken, as well as to seal a tooth after root canal therapy.
