Preventive
Services
Visiting
your hygienist at least twice a year, or as prescribed by your dentist is
the most important step in maintaining proper dental health.
|
Sealants are also available to help prevent decay. These
are plastic coatings applied into the deep grooves and fissures in the
molars. Sealants are a great tool to assist in minimizing decay and
promoting better dental health. It is recommended that this procedure
be done in children as their permanent teeth erupt for maximum
protection.

Diagnostics
|
Our office offers the newest technology in digital
x-rays. This allows more comfort during the x ray procedure and less
exposure to radiation. Our comprehensive exams are unlike the quick and
superficial "check up" you may be familiar with. So that we
may have a full understanding of your dental health, we fully examine
your muscles, temporomandibular (jaw) joints, your occlusion (bite), as
well as a complete oral cancer screening and an evaluation of your
gums.

Restorative:
Simple
fillings are used to remove and replace small areas of decay.
These can be in either white plastic filling material (composite) or in
traditional silver filling material (amalgam).
|
Crowns are needed to
restore teeth that are extensively restored or decayed, cracked or
broken. The affected tooth is shaved down and covered by a prosthetic
tooth, usually made of porcelain, or a combination of metal and
porcelain. Our office offers the convenience of Cerec crowns. (Please click here for more information on Cerec)
Bridges help to
replace missing teeth with the benefit of a fixed (non-removable)
appliance. These are anchored into the mouth with crowns, in a similar
procedure. It is important to replace missing teeth to maintain the
health of the remaining teeth and the balance of the mouth.
|
|
We
custom fit dentures to each patient to ensure a more natural and
comfortable result, allowing a beautiful smile and bite.
Implants are yet another
way to replace missing teeth. A titanium "root" is placed in
the bone by a specialist. Once healed, we are able to restore this with a
crown to give a very natural product.
Endodontics
|
We
offer pain free root canal treatment. Root canal treatment is when the
nerve of the tooth is removed due to inflammation or infection. The
tooth is sealed with gutta percha, a rubber-like material that stops
the flow of any further bacteria into the tooth.
|
|
Periodontal
We
believe it is essential for all of our patients to have a complete
periodontal examination at regular intervals. This is the only way to
ensure that any changes or issues in periodontal health are detected.
Often, by doing this, we are able to perform more simple treatment to
benefit patients. We offer a variety of non-surgical periodontal
treatments.
Cosmetic
|
We
offer bleaching or whitening with a gel solution and a custom fit
tray. The safe whitening agent is applied daily for up to two hours in
the tray, and results are usually seen within a few applications.
|
|
Veneers are an effective
cosmetic procedure where we bond a thin cover of porcelain to the
prepared tooth surface. These are helpful in making teeth look whiter,
straighter and more evenly spaced.
We can
also bond teeth by applying a tooth colored composite resin to
repair fissure or chips, or minimize gaps. It is also a procedure that is
performed to fill cavities while maintaining a more natural look.
