Our dental office offers a wide range of services to help you maintain a healthy smile.

Dental Exam

Our dental exams are designed to assess your overall oral health and identify any potential problems. During your exam, our dentist will:

- Visually examine your teeth and gums
- Take X-rays to assess the condition of your teeth and gums
- Check your bite and make sure your teeth are aligned properly
- Discuss any concerns you may have about your oral health

Dental Bridges

Bridges are dental restoration that is used to replace missing teeth. It is supported by the neighboring teeth and is bonded in place. Bridges are a good option for people who have lost one or more teeth. They can help to restore your smile and improve your oral health.

There are different types of bridges; the best type for you depends on your needs. If you are considering getting a bridge, be sure to talk to your dentist about the best option for you.

Teeth Cleaning

A clean smile is a healthy smile!

A professional teeth cleaning is the best way to keep your teeth and gums healthy. During a teeth cleaning, your dentist will remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth. Plaque and tartar can cause tooth decay and gum disease, so it's important to get your teeth cleaned regularly.

A teeth cleaning is also a great way to get a check-up on your overall oral health. Your dentist will look for any signs of cavities, gum disease, or other problems. If you have any problems, your dentist can recommend treatment options.

Porcelain Dental Crowns

Although dental crowns can be made of various materials, including stainless steel, gold, and silver, nothing looks better than a porcelain dental crown.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

If your silver fillings make you feel self-conscious when you smile, or it's simply time to replace them, consider white fillings. White fillings are just as durable as they are attractive!

Dentures

Using dentures to replace missing teeth is not only great for your oral health; it's a great way to look and feel younger! Today, there are a variety of natural-looking and comfortable dentures for patients who need to replace missing teeth.

Dentures are custom designed to fit your mouth and made of a gum-colored plastic resin or acrylic base and either resin or porcelain replacement teeth. If you have several teeth or all teeth missing on the upper or lower jaw, full dentures may be your best option. Partial dentures, which can be either fixed or removable, are great for patients who have several missing teeth scattered along the upper or lower jaw.

The process of getting dentures may take a few months and several dental visits. In some cases, however, same-day dentures are also possible. With same-day dentures, the dentures are created right in the dentist's office instead of at an offsite laboratory. Same-day dentures aren't for everyone, though. If your dentures require a lot of customization, same-day dentures may not be right for you.
Just as with your natural teeth, dentures require daily maintenance. With regular wear and tear, your dentures can last 5-7 years. During that time, you may need periodic denture relines to accommodate changes in the contours of your mouth. Regular denture relines involve resurfacing the base to ensure that your dentures fit and function perfectly. If you break your dentures, it's critical to bring them to your dentist for professional denture repair. Home denture repair kits can cause more damage and be even more costly to fix.

Gum Disease Treatment

Red, swollen gums are a red flag for one thing: gum disease. If you have the symptoms, you're not alone. More than 80% of adults have some form of gum disease.

Fortunately, there are many effective and pain-free gum disease treatments. For gingivitis, the mildest form of gum disease, treatment typically involves a thorough dental cleaning, followed by daily brushing and flossing. Advanced gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, requires scaling and root planing to remove stubborn deposits below the gum line. Laser gum surgery, a new alternative to scaling and root planing, uses beams of high-speed light to remove plaque and tartar buildup. If non-surgical methods of gum disease treatment are ineffective, a gingivectomy, or periodontal surgery, may be necessary.

Root Canal

Root canals get a bad wrap. But don't believe the rumors; the dreaded root canal isn't dreadful at all! Root canals are needed when either decay or an injury infects the inner tooth (the pulp).

In the earliest stages of infection, you may not feel any pain at all. But when it progresses, you could have a toothache and swelling, or a dental abscess might form. Root canals remove the infection and prevent it from spreading. Thanks to laser root canals, this process is faster, more comfortable, and, in many cases, more thorough than conventional root canals. Pulp capping is an alternative to root canals that are used when the infection has yet to penetrate the pulp. Pulp capping can also prevent a large dental filling from getting too close to the nerve.

Oral Surgery

Oral surgery is an umbrella term for surgical treatments such as dental implants, wisdom teeth extractions, and bone grafting. Dental implants, an excellent solution for missing teeth, are surgically placed tooth roots that hold dental crowns in place.

Pediatric Dentistry

Preventive dentistry is especially important for children. Instilling excellent oral hygiene practices and a good diet at an early age will better prepare your child for a lifetime of dental health.

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), children should visit the dentist by their first birthday. It is important that your child's newly-erupted teeth (erupting at 6-12 months of age) receive proper dental care and benefit from proper oral hygiene habits right from the beginning.

Your child should visit the dentist every 6 months for regular dental cleanings and checkups. We recommend fluoride treatments twice yearly and cleanings to keep teeth their strongest. Tooth sealants are also recommended because they "seal" the deep grooves in your child's teeth, preventing decay from forming in these hard-to-reach areas. Sealants last for several years, but will be monitored at your regular checkups
