General Dentistry
Having your best smile possible starts with having the healthiest smile possible, which is why we offer a complete array of general dentistry care to keep your teeth and gums in their best condition. General dentistry services include:
Comprehensive Exam: Patients will receive a complete inspection of their teeth and gums to determine the state of their dental health. During the exam, we will also screen for oral cancer and periodontal disease.
Cleaning and Preventative Care: A thorough but gentle cleaning will help patients maintain good oral hygiene and will help identify any dental issues before they grow into larger issues that require more complicated procedures.
Dental X-rays: Dental X-rays are useful to detect decay before it is visually apparent and to monitor bone health. We provide full mouth X-rays, Panorex and Bitewing X-rays to get a complete and in-depth picture of your current dental health.
Sealants: Children and adults alike can benefit from the use of sealants, which are used to protect the grooves of your teeth and prevent cavities on the biting surfaces. The procedure is short, easy and painless.
DIAGNOdent: This is a revolutionary and thorough means of detecting cavities earlier than ever before and eliminates the poking and prodding usually associated with dental check-ups. It uses a safe, simple laser scanner to inspect your teeth and uncover decay sooner and with more precision than traditional methods.
Fillings: When a cavity does form, we can stop any further decay by providing fillings, including natural-looking composites that are custom-made to match the color and anatomy of your teeth.
Crowns: When too much of a tooth is decayed or broken away, it is best restored with a crown, which can be also be accomplished by using a natural tooth-colored composite.
Root Canal Therapy: When a cavity or fracture is close to the tooth’s nerve, a root canal may be suggested to save the tooth. It will help relieve discomfort in moderate to severe toothaches and save the tooth from having to be extracted.
Extractions: In some instances, you may need to have a tooth extracted, in which case the dentist will do all he can to keep it as painless as possible.
Custom-fit Mouthguards: Protect your teeth during contact sports with a custom mouthguard that provides a perfect fit for your teeth, also making it much more comfortable to wear during play.
Aesthetic Dentistry
With so many technologies and advanced procedures available, there is no reason to be embarrassed about your smile. We can give you the natural-looking smile you have always wanted, by using a variety of cosmetic treatments and techniques, which include:
Teeth Whitening: We provide in-house whitening treatments and can also provide you with a high-quality, customized bleaching system that you can safely use at home for everyday use.
Veneers: Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain, which, when cosmetically bonded to your teeth, are very durable and extremely natural-looking. They are often used to replace teeth that are cracked, chipped or discolored.
Dental Bonding: Bonding is another way to improve the appearance of your teeth, by using a composite resin to cover up an area of the tooth and any discolorations or blemishes. Because bonding is not as durable as porcelain veneers, it usually needs to be replaced every three to five years.
Invasalign Orthodontics: Straighten your teeth with this virtually invisible orthodontics system, which uses a series of discreet clear, removable aligners that are customized specifically to your teeth.
Reconstructive Dentistry
No matter what state your teeth are in, we can restore your teeth, your smile and—most importantly—your confidence with a variety of reconstructive methods. It is never too late to have your teeth looking the way you have always wanted. Some of the reconstructive services that we offer to replace or repair broken or missing teeth, bones or tissue include:
Implants: A missing tooth may be replaced with a dental implant, which is surgically placed into the jawbone where it acts as an anchor for replacement teeth. It looks and feels like a natural tooth, making it an optimal option for replacing missing or extracted teeth.
Bridges: If one or more teeth are missing, they can b replaced with either permanent or removable dental bridges. Replacing missing teeth with dental bridges allows you to chew food properly, prevent speech problems, and restore your smile back to normal!
Complete and Partial Dentures: When too many teeth are missing to be restored by bridgework, removable dentures offer a good solution.
Periodontic Care: Also known as gum disease, periodontal disease can deteriorate the gums and the bones that support the teeth. This is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults today, and early diagnosis and treatment for this condition is critical for maintaining dental health. We can treat periodontal disease with various methods that include root planing and scaling, irrigation treatment, as well as periodontal surgery.
