- Dental ExaminationOne of Dr. Alston’s favorite things to do as a dentist is new patient exams. He enjoys meeting new people and identifying how best to help them overcome challenges so they can attain optimal health.

- FillingsA dental filling is a restoration used to repair minor to moderate tooth damage. We may recommend a filling if a tooth has been damaged by decay (for example, if it has a cavity) or suffers from minor fracturing or chipping. The dental filling is used to restore the tooth to its original structure and function, and return your smile to good health. There are two main types of dental fillings available: amalgam fillings and composite fillings.
- Resin CompositeDental bonding is a simple, conservative way to improve the appearance of your smile. During the bonding process, our skilled dentist and team place a composite resin material directly onto the tooth structure. Because the resin is malleable and putty like when first applied, we can shape and sculpt it to fit your tooth and correct flaws in the tooth’s appearance. The composite resin is then hardened, trimmed and polished to provide a lasting, aesthetic restoration for your smile. Dental bonding typically requires just one visit to our welcoming dental office, and because this treatment usually necessitates little to no tooth preparation, you can rest assured that your visit will be quick and comfortable.

- DenturesIf you need a crown, dentures, a veneer, or a night guard you will need an impression of your teeth made. In the past, this has been a difficult process. It meant holding a tray filled with impression material in your mouth. The material tasted bad and could drip.

At Mill Point Dental, Dr. Michael Longlet and Dr. Eric Alston, our dentists, have taken the mess and stress out of the process with digital impressions in Bend, Oregon.

- Dental ImplantsDental implants are lasting, stable tooth replacements that can be used to replace one missing tooth, several missing teeth or complete arches of teeth. The dental implant post, which is a screw made of titanium, is surgically placed in the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. It replaces the missing tooth root and ensures that your dental restoration is stable. A period of healing is then often required to allow the bone to begin to bond with the biocompatible post.

- OrthodonticsWhite spots on your teeth or your child’s teeth may be the result of several things. Fluorosis, which is caused by too much fluoride in teeth that have not yet erupted may be one cause. White spots can also be caused by poor oral hygiene or by orthodontics. Fortunately this issue is cosmetic and does not present any health problems. One way to remove those spots and improve the appearance of your smile is by resin infiltration. The treatment is painless and can be done in a single visit to our office. Our dentists will gently remove the white spots from the tooth by gently scrubbing it with pumice before adding resin to the area and carefully blending it into the surface of your tooth. There is no drilling required for this process, and no anesthesia is needed. You can restore the gleam to your smile with a visit to our office.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsOur dentist may recommend Invisalign® for patients who are looking for a more discreet orthodontic treatment for straightening their teeth. Invisalign® is custom-designed to fit your smile and is made from smooth, thin plastic to give you a treatment that is comfortable and virtually invisible. This type of orthodontic treatment is especially popular among teens and adults.
