Routine Cleanings & Preventive Care
Including individual consultations and dental exams, cleanings, x-rays (when needed), and a focus on encouraging proper home care and overall oral health. We also offer dental sealants to help protect teeth against decay, fluoride treatments for healthier and stronger enamel, and custom athletic mouthguards and nightguards to protect your smile.
Benefits of Preventive Dentistry
In addition to being interested in the beauty of your smile, we are concerned with the health of your mouth. To help you achieve and maintain your optimal oral health, we focus on preventive dental care and regular dental checkups. This not only keeps your teeth and gums looking and feeling great (and your breath smelling better), but keeping up with your oral health can also significantly reduce the amount of money you’ll have to spend on dental treatment later in life.
Restorative Dentistry
Including tooth-colored fillings; natural looking porcelain caps, crowns, and fixed bridges; endodontics (root canal therapy); permanent dental implant restorations; and dentures and removable partial dentures.
Cosmetic Dentistry
From minor tooth adjustments and smile enhancements to dramatic smile makeovers, our cosmetic dentistry services include tooth-colored fillings; porcelain caps, crowns, and fixed bridges; dazzling porcelain veneers and Lumineers® system veneers (less preparation); PowerProx clear braces; and powerful, professional teeth whitening options.
Periodontal Health (Gum Health)
Including diagnosis of gum disease, treatment, and appropriate maintenance. We use ultrasonic technology to remove plaque bacteria and tartar build-up from underneath your gums. We know that if your mouth is diseased, you won’t be able to enjoy your food, it becomes harder to chew and even digest properly, and then you can’t get all the nutrition that your body needs from your food. All this can seriously affect your overall health and well-being. We also use Arestin®, which is a locally administered antibiotic that has been proven to kill the bacteria associated with periodontal disease.
Oral Cancer is Nothing to Smile About…
During a dental exam, the doctor will check your neck and oral tissues for lumps, red or white patches or recurring sore areas.Screening for early changes in the oral tissue can help detect cancer at a stage when it can be more successfully treated. Smoking, especially combined with heavy alcohol consumption (30 drinks a week or more), is the primary risk factor for oral cancer. In fact, this combination is estimated to be the most likely trigger in about 75 percent of oral cancers diagnosed in this country. Other lifestyle and environmental factors also may increase your risk of developing oral cancer.
Relief for TMJ/TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder Therapy)
Including diagnosis and a variety of treatments, from stress reducing exercises and muscle relaxants, to mouth protector appliances and bite correction. We want to help you find relief.
