Exams and X-rays

A complete dental exam is the optimal way for your dentist to detect early signs of common problems like gingivitis or cavities. When caught early, these ailments are more manageable and less painful.

Diagnostic X-rays are the best tool dentists have for monitoring your oral health. They provide critical information not determinable through just observing the surface of your teeth. Abnormalities or conditions lying beneath the surface of your teeth and gums can be found and addressed promptly before any further damage occurs.

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings serve many purposes and are a common treatment method for many conditions. They help slow decay, treat minor fractures, restore worn down teeth, or smooth out their surface. This treatment improves comfort when biting or chewing and can help soothe sensitive teeth for those suffering from damaged or weakened enamel.

Several different types of dental fillings can be used to fill cavities. In selecting the right filling for you, your dentist will consider many factors, such as the location and seriousness of the cavity, your medical history, aesthetics, preferences and budget. The dentist will discuss all the options with you and help you make the best determination.

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and bridges, unlike removable dentures, are fixed prosthetic devices that will be permanently placed into your mouth. They are molded to your natural teeth or implants and are only removed by your dentist. Crowns repair broken, chipped, decayed, worn-down or misshapen teeth. Bridges can be used to replace missing teeth if there are available healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth.

As we get older, our teeth become more vulnerable to damage and decay. Some may eventually crack or chip. Obviously, this affects your smile and self-confidence. It can also create problems with chewing, and lead to other oral health issues. If you have lost teeth, or if you suffer from damaged teeth, your dentist may suggest a crown or bridge. Dental restorations will improve the functionality of your teeth, and leave you smiling again.

Root Canals

Teeth are comprised of both hard and soft parts. The hard outermost layer is the enamel, what we can see and feel. Another hard layer is beneath that and referred to as the dentin. This gives the tooth its structure. Cementum is the third hard layer below the gums and covers the roots of the tooth.

The pulp is the soft tissue on the inside of the tooth and is comprised of sensitive nerves and blood vessels. It extends from the center of the tooth, down to the roots and jawbone. A single tooth may have 1-4 individual roots. Molars, in the back of your mouth, can have even more.

A root canal is an endodontic procedure, often done by a specialist, recommended for patients experiencing dental pulp inflammation, infection, or trauma. These conditions are usually brought on by extensive decay, multiple dental procedures on the same tooth or injury to the pulp (even if no chips or cracks can be seen in the enamel). Putting off proper treatment can result in an infection or inflammation of the pulp which then can lead to an abscess and cause pain. Root canals are prescribed to treat this ailment and allow you to keep the tooth. It is important to note that a root canal will not permanently save your tooth.

Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry is available for patients with acute dental anxiety or phobia. Certain sedatives can help patients feel more at ease when receiving dental care. Procedures such as extractions or root canals are made easier through drugs given before or during the treatment. At least 30 percent of patients delay or refuse getting the dental care that they need out of fear. The consequences of that fear can have serious repercussions for their oral health.

Sedative methods vary in intensity and purpose. If the idea of sitting in a dentist’s chair is nerve wracking for you, we want to help you feel more relaxed. Many patients who take sedatives end up with no memory of the procedure performed. Your dentist will help determine what options are available to you. If we cannot meet your comfort level, we will try to present alternatives. The final choice will be a decision between the dentist and you.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial teeth roots. They are situated into your jaw to serve as stable and strong anchors for dental bridges or replacement teeth. Implants are gaining in popularity. They feel and function like natural teeth. They are long lasting, effective, and safe.

If you are looking to reestablish your smile, dental implants may be a reasonable choice for your smile restoration plan. You may be considered for an implant procedure if you: have missing or severely injured teeth, suffer from chronic dental problems, or have dentures that have become too painful. Implants are designed to blend in with your natural teeth and are barely detectable through the naked eye.

Teeth Extractions

When we lose our “baby teeth” the 2nd set of teeth we get are meant to last our entire adult lives. Sadly, not all of us are so fortunate. There are any number of reasons why you may need a tooth extracted: Your tooth could be damaged by decay. You may have periodontal disease. You have an impacted tooth, or you have overcrowded teeth. You may have been injured.

While getting a dental extraction is no one’s first choice, it can help reduce pain and inflammation. It can also help prevent infections and other oral problems. Because simple extractions are easier to perform, are less risky, and come with fewer adverse effects, they are preferred over surgical extractions. Each situation is unique, however. Your dentist will help you get all the information you need to make an informed decision on the best treatment for you.

Dental Cleaning

Because your mouth is loaded with bacteria, we strongly recommend an excellent dental hygiene routine that you follow every day, as well as maintaining twice annual dental cleaning visits. Teeth cleaning is a simple and pain-free procedure, that helps you keep your smile beautiful. While some fear going and delay it due to anxiety, it is the most important preventative action you can take in caring for your oral health. A half hour of your time, twice a year, pays for itself when you consider the savings in pain, money, and time caused by skipping that office visit.

A professional dental cleaning keeps your mouth healthy and helps screen for more serious conditions that can be expensive and painful. When bacteria amass on your teeth, they release acids which lead to serious conditions, such as inflamed gums, damaged enamel, tooth decay and loss, and periodontal disease.

Dentures

If you have had significant loss of teeth, due to trauma, injury, or periodontal disease, you may be a candidate for dentures. Your age will not determine whether you can get dentures. Your overall oral health will. While many people with dentures are over age 65, however, younger people may need them too.

You will not get used to a new set of dentures immediately. They can be cumbersome initially and take some getting used to. Even relearning how to talk and eat can be a challenge. Nevertheless, your dentist will be there with you from the start and will probably schedule frequent visits to follow up with you, making sure the fit is appropriate and to discuss the challenges you are facing.
