Dental Cleanings
Routine dental cleanings play a vital role in preventing bad breath, as well as the onset of tooth and gum disease. Receiving consistent cleanings also contributes to reducing the risk of various systemic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and kidney issues. Dental cleanings effectively dislodge plaque and tartar buildup, while eliminating stubborn stains through the use of power toothbrushes and specially flavored toothpaste, ensuring a thorough and refreshing clean for your teeth and gums.
Dental Exams & X-Rays
We strongly recommend biannual dental checkups to maintain your oral health. During these exams, our team conducts a thorough review of your medical history, examines for signs of tooth decay and gum disease, screens for oral cancer, and assesses the condition of any existing dental restorations. To ensure a complete evaluation, diagnostic X-rays are taken to uncover any underlying issues that may not be visible during the clinical exam.
Composite/Amalgam Fillings
When it comes to restoring and preserving your smile, we offer the option of composite or amalgam fillings. Our team carefully evaluates each patient’s needs to determine the most suitable type of filling for their unique situation. Whether you opt for the durability of amalgam fillings or the natural look of composite fillings, rest assured that our practice prioritizes precision and patient comfort, providing reliable and aesthetically pleasing solutions for dental restoration.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a specialized treatment that effectively saves and restores severely decayed or infected teeth. Our approach to this procedure involves multiple visits, beginning with an X-ray to assess the tooth’s condition and numbing the area with anesthesia for patient comfort. Following the meticulous cleaning and sealing of the tooth, temporary or permanent fillings are placed to safeguard it from potential contaminants. The final step in the process entails the restoration of the tooth, which may involve placing a filling or crown to ensure its long-term strength and functionality.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are performed for various reasons, including decay, infections, or impaction. Following the extraction procedure, our experienced team provides thorough post-operative instructions to ensure proper care of the extraction site and promote optimal healing. With our commitment to patient comfort and well-being, we strive to make the extraction process as smooth as possible.
Fluoride
Fluoride plays a crucial role in promoting dental health, offering a safe and effective means of preventing and reversing early signs of tooth decay. Available in both topical and systemic forms, fluoride strengthens teeth to enhance their resistance against decay. We incorporate fluoride into various treatments, such as toothpaste, mouth rinses, and professional applications, to help our patients maintain strong, healthy smiles and prevent dental issues.
