- Dental ExaminationYour first visit will be a comprehensive examination and assessment of your case, including a review of information provided by your dentist. We will discuss the ideal treatment option(s) with a thorough discussion about benefits, risks, and alternatives. We will also explain the procedures involved and the treatment process. Any questions you may have will be addressed at this time.
- Oral Cancer ScreeningOral cancer affects thousands of Americans yearly. We use the latest technology to detect changes in oral tissue consistencies and/or lesions. A specialized light is shined into the mouth to detect unhealthy tissue. Healthy tissue looks lighter under the light while spots of bad tissue appear dark. With early detection, cancer may be caught before it has time to spread, potentially saving lives.
- Teeth CleaningPeriodontal maintenance visits involve oral examinations and thorough dental cleanings. Plaque and tartar is removed above and below the gumline, and the depth of your periodontal pockets is closely monitored to ensure that your gums are healthy. Because gum disease is caused by the bacteria found in plaque and tartar, keeping your teeth clean is key to maintaining good periodontal health.
- Crowns- We can adjust the length of your crowns to ensure that they match your other teeth. It makes your crowns look more natural.
- BridgesAn implant supported bridge is a restorative solution for spaces where three or more adjacent teeth are missing. This restoration typically requires two implants to support the porcelain bridge. The bridge provides a functional and aesthetic replacement for a patient’s natural teeth.
- Periodontal SurgeryPeriodontal maintenance is a deep cleaning that involves scaling teeth above and below the gumline to remove plaque and tartar. Typically, periodontal maintenance is recommended for patients with a history of gum disease. These treatments are scheduled for regular intervals after an initial scaling and root planing treatment or periodontal surgery.
- Deep CleaningYes, another term used for periodontal maintenance is deep cleaning. The two terms are often used interchangeably.
- DenturesFor patients who are missing many or all of their teeth, implant supported dentures may be an alternative to traditional dentures. This solution requires the placement of two or more implants. In order to replace a full arch denture, a minimum of four implants is generally recommended. Eligibility for this solution is dependent upon a number of factors, with jaw bone density being one of the most significant determining factors.
