Cleanings & Exams

Having a dental practice perform a checkup and regular cleaning gives a preventive approach to dental care. These general dentistry treatments help prevent problems with your teeth, gums and jaw bones, or they catch and manage problems before they worsen. During your visit, our doctors will take a picture of the current standing of your dental health and what would be needed to keep your oral hygiene in its best state.

Fillings

Composite fillings act as a dentistry solution for problems such as tooth decay or cracks. A composite filling is a tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture used to restore decayed teeth. This procedure is also utilized for cosmetic improvements of the smile by fixing any discoloration or reshaping any disfigured teeth.

Crowns

Getting crowns is the best way to have a very natural looking smile. They are used when simply filling in a tooth is not an option. There are times when they decay is so bad that we just have to use a crown. We also use them with severely damaged teeth or teeth that have already had multiple fillings. Crowns are attached right to your teeth so that they can function, even when you bite something really hard! There are several types of crowns so it is important to discuss which type is best for you with your dentist.

Bridges & Dentures

Bridges:
When your teeth are missing, it greatly affects your smile. At the same time, the missing tooth has the potential to negatively affect your oral hygiene because of unprotected gum exposure. Dental bridges are one of many options aimed at improving the appearance and function of your teeth by replacing the missing tooth or teeth. During your exam, we will discuss whether or not dental bridges are right for you.

Dentures:
If you are missing teeth, dentures can provide a positive solution to improving your oral health. We are proud to provide dentures that are designed to fit your mouth for proper function and unique comfort. Following your appointment, we will provide you with information on at-home care for your dentures. We strongly recommend scheduling follow up appointments for periodic denture cleanings.

Implant Restoration & Extractions

Implant Restoration:
When you have missing teeth, an alternative solution to dentures is dental implants. While dentures are removable, dental implants provide permanent new teeth to restore your mouth's function and appearance. Dental implants tend to offer a successful and lasting solution to the loss of some or all of your teeth.

Extractions:
Extractions are a common dental procedure that removes a tooth from the mouth. This procedure is often necessary when a tooth is severely damaged or infected and cannot be saved through other means. Extractions can be performed under local anesthesia, and the dentist will provide aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.

Root Canals

A root canal is a dental procedure that removes the pulp from a tooth. The pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp is infected or damaged, it can cause pain and other symptoms. A root canal can save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a clear, removable orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for cleaning, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who want to improve their smile without the look of traditional braces.

Teeth Whitening

A common request we receive is how to make a smile whiter and brighter. This is a relatively simple and quick treatment option that can be performed periodically. Certain foods and beverages, such as wine and coffee, stain the teeth and contribute to discoloration. The teeth whitening process provides a solution that lightens the shade of the teeth. Additionally, the process actually rids the teeth of plaque and tartar that tend to lead to dental problems.

Veneers

Veneers are a cosmetic dentistry solution that can improve the appearance of your teeth. They are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to conceal imperfections such as chips, cracks, or discoloration. Veneers can be a great option for patients who want to improve their smile without undergoing more invasive procedures.

Sleep Appliances & Night Guards

Sleep Appliances:
Sleep appliances are a type of dental device that can help improve your sleep and overall health. These devices are designed to reposition your jaw and tongue, reducing snoring and improving breathing patterns. If you are experiencing sleep apnea, a sleep appliance may be a good option for you.

Night Guards:
Night guards are a type of dental device that can help protect your teeth from the wear and tear of grinding or clenching during sleep. If you are experiencing teeth grinding or clenching, a night guard may be a good option for you.
