- Dental Examination
- Oral Cancer Screening
- Teeth CleaningAfter your checkup and teeth cleaning are complete, the doctor will meet with you to discuss your X-rays, help you create your own individual treatment plan, and answer any questions that you may have.
- Fluoride Treatment
- Dental SealantsBy forming a thin covering over the pits and fissures, sealants keep out plaque and food, thus decreasing the risk of decay. Since, the covering is only on the chewing surfaces of the tooth, you must have good brushing and flossing habits to protect the sides and areas in-between the teeth. Healthy nutrition plays an important part as well.
- FillingsThis patient had four amalgam fillings that needed to be replaced because they were breaking down at the margins or where the teeth and the fillings meet. The old amalgam was removed under a rubber dam to keep the teeth dry and isolated and keep the patient from swallowing any of the old filling material.
- Resin CompositeIt involves the use of a composite resin that bonds to the teeth, helping to repair chipped or broken teeth or filling in gaps, enhancing your smile.
- VeneersVeneers are an increasingly popular option for correcting imperfections like teeth that are discolored, worn down, chipped or broken; also for teeth that are misaligned, uneven or irregularly shaped, and to close gaps between them.
- CrownsThis can be the solution to give confidence to your smile, prevent other teeth to move out of their position and to help the patient to chew and speak better. There are different types of bridges: traditional, cantilever and the Maryland (or resin bonded bridges). The traditional consists of a false tooth known as a pontic, placed between two crowns, which are attached to the teeth in both sides of the gap. The cantilever is used when there are teeth on only one side of the gap left by the missing tooth or teeth. The Maryland, which is also known as resin bonded bridge, is a more conservative method that requires less preparation of the adjacent teeth. This type of bridge is also considered more aesthetic; however it will depend of each person’s particular situation if this is the appropriate type to use.
- BridgesThe name dental bridge may give you an idea of what this procedure is about. Basically, your dentist will create a bridge to close a gap where one tooth or more are missing. Generally speaking, the way to accomplish this is with a false tooth placed between two crowns. The bridge will be attached to the teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges can be made from different materials: metal (gold or alloys), porcelains or a combination of these materials. Similar to dental crowns, bridges are used for cosmetic reasons and also to restore the functionality of your mouth.
- Dental BondingThis material used for bonding procedures can be placed on the back or front teeth depending on where you need it.
- Root Canal TreatmentRoot canals or endodontic treatment are used to save a tooth when its pulp or nerve is dead, decayed, or badly damaged.
- Deep CleaningMost people will need just a cleaning and polishing to remove tartar and brighten their teeth. If we discover that you have a moderate to severe gum condition like gingivitis or periodontitis then it is likely that we'll recommend a deep cleaning, root scaling or planing. These deep cleaning procedures can have a fundamental impact in preventing bone loss and can assist with helping you to keep your natural teeth.
- DenturesSince the beginning of our relationship with a patient, our best recommendation is to follow basic hygiene habits that will help to enjoy a happy and healthy smile: brush and floss your teeth daily and visit your dentist regularly. However, there are situations in which an adult is missing teeth for a variety of reasons. This can be caused for periodontal disease or teeth decay, and it would probably lead to difficulty chewing, speaking and behaving confident in a social setting. Dentures are an alternative in some situations and your dentist will help you to find out if they are appropriate for you. They can be complete or partial.
- Dental ImplantsAs a candidate for dental implants, you must commit to a good oral hygiene and regular visits to the doctor. Implants as dental procedures are possible thanks to extensive research over the years.
- Tooth ExtractionsBLEEDING: Some bleeding fullowing tooth extraction is to be expected. If unusual or sustained bleeding occurs, place gauze firmly over the area of extraction and bite down or huld in place for fifteen minutes. A WET tea bag can also be used to bite on and help stop the bleeding. Repeat if necessary.
- OrthodonticsCrooked and crowded teeth are a common problem. You've probably been thinking for years now the only solution is orthodontics. No longer the case. Lumineers can eliminate the need for braces by the placement of this ultra-thin Cerinate porcelain, which permanently covers and corrects misaligned teeth.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsInvisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-molded to fit you. The virtually invisible aligners gradually reposition your teeth into a smile you'll be proud of.
- Braces"From an early age I had an extremely large gap between my teeth. I have been through braces twice and wore retainers for many years. A couple months ago I had LUMINEERS placed on my front teeth and guess what...I had an instant, beautiful smile! I was amazed with the results and to top it off, the procedure only took about 40 minutes. It now feels good to smile and have perfect teeth without the maintenance of a retainer or braces!"
