Dental Cleaning and Exams

Dental cleaning and exams are essential to maintaining good oral health. During a dental cleaning and exam, your dental hygienist will remove all plaque and tartar, floss your teeth, and polish them. We will then inspect the teeth and gums, looking for signs of dental decay, gum disease, or other problems. X-rays may also be taken to help identify any issues. Regular dental cleanings and exams are necessary to maintain healthy teeth and gums and can help prevent more severe problems.

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are a common dental procedure used to repair cavities caused by tooth decay. Fillings can be made of various materials, such as metal, porcelain, or composite resin. The dental filling process involves removing any decayed material from the affected tooth, then sealing the tooth with the filling material. This helps to prevent further decay and restores the tooth’s structure and function.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a type of dental restoration used to improve the appearance and function of a damaged tooth. A crown is an artificial tooth-shaped cap placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns repair broken or decayed teeth or protect a weak tooth from further damage. We can use crowns to restore a dental implant or to attach a bridge. Crowns are made of materials such as porcelain, metal, or ceramic and are designed to match the color of the natural teeth.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are fixed dental restorations used to replace missing teeth. A bridge typically consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, fused between two porcelain crowns to fill the space left by a missing tooth. The crowns are placed on the adjacent teeth on either side of the gap, which serves as anchors to support the bridge. Dental bridges are typically made of ceramic or porcelain matched to the surrounding teeth’ color. They are durable and long-lasting, restoring the function and appearance of the missing teeth.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth and restore a full smile. A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone. The post acts as a tooth root and provides a strong foundation for a bridge, denture, or crown. Dental implants offer a more natural look and feel and are an excellent long-term solution for missing teeth. They are strong, durable, and can last many years with proper care.

Dental Extractions

Dental extractions are a standard dental procedure used to remove teeth that are causing pain, infection, overcrowding, or other problems. It can also be used to remove teeth that are too damaged to be repaired. During an extraction, we will use special instruments to loosen and remove the tooth and may need to suture the area after the tooth has been removed. Extractions can often be done under local anesthesia to ensure the patient is comfortable.

Root Canals

Root canals are a common dental procedure used to save a tooth damaged by decay or infection. During a root canal, the dentist will remove the infected or decayed portion of the tooth and clean the inside of the canal. The area is then filled with a rubber-like material and sealed. The procedure helps to prevent further damage and infection and can often save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is a great way to get a brighter, whiter smile. This form of whitening is done professionally and typically uses a more potent bleaching agent than what is available over the counter. The process is quick and painless and can help to remove years of staining and discoloration in just one visit. Professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to get a brighter smile without the guesswork of at-home whitening kits.

Bonding

Dental bonding is a restorative procedure in which a tooth-colored composite resin is applied to a tooth to help improve its appearance. The resin is hardened with a special light and then shaped and polished to look like a natural tooth. It can be used to repair chipped, cracked, discolored, or misshapen teeth and can even be used to fill cavities. Dental bonding is an affordable and relatively quick procedure that can be done in one visit, and results can last several years.

Veneers

Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite material bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their appearance. They are an excellent option to improve the overall look of your smile. They can change the tooth’s size, shape, length, color, and overall look in a single visit. Veneers can also be used to close gaps between teeth and help protect the teeth’ surface from further damage.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are an orthodontic treatment that uses transparent, removable aligners to straighten teeth gradually. The aligners are custom-made for each patient and are made from a flexible plastic material that fits snugly over the teeth. They are comfortable to wear and are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice among teens and adults who want to improve their smile discreetly. Clear aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, making them more convenient than traditional braces.

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces are a form of orthodontic treatment used to correct teeth that are misaligned or overcrowded. They are made of metal brackets and wires connected to the teeth and adjusted over time to move the teeth into the desired position. Traditional braces require frequent visits to the orthodontist to have the wires tightened to keep the teeth moving. Treatment times can vary depending on the severity of the misalignment, but in general, traditional braces take 12 to 24 months to complete treatment.

Clear Braces

Clear braces are an orthodontic treatment that uses clear plastic or ceramic brackets and wires to straighten teeth. Clear braces provide the same level of effectiveness as metal braces for correcting common orthodontic issues but with the added benefit of being less noticeable. Unlike traditional metal braces, clear braces are barely visible, making them popular among adults and teens. With regular appointments to adjust the braces and wires, clear braces can help create a straighter, healthier smile.
