Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
• Fluoride Treatment
• Dental Sealants
  Looking for a dentist who can both improve your smile and maintain the health of your child’s teeth and gums? We love seeing kids! Drs. Fulton and Sargent pride themselves on providing dentistry to patients of all ages, including little ones. We even make balloon animals for children. As important as preventive dentistry is for adults, it is critical for children. Protecting little teeth and gums, providing oral health information, and instilling healthy habits will make the difference in whether your child has a beautiful, decay-free smile later in life. We can also keep your child’s smile healthy with preventive treatments like tooth sealants and topical fluoride.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  Veneers are an ideal solution if you want to quickly change the appearance of your front teeth and have no underlying structural issues.
• Crowns
  Crowns are an excellent treatment for a tooth that has cracks and large fillings because it protects and structurally reinforces the tooth, restoring your ability to chew.
• Bridges
  When you have a cracked or severely decayed tooth, it can significantly impact your day to day activities. You may be in constant pain or find it difficult to chew properly. A tooth that has structural problems can cause you a great deal of stress. Dental crowns offer an excellent solution to address these issues. They are designed to completely cover your affected tooth, improving its function and appearance. For a missing tooth, however, Drs. Fulton and Sargent may recommend a dental bridge. A bridge is made up of crowns that bond to the surrounding teeth. The center crown unit acts as a replacement tooth so that you never feel the need to hide your smile again.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  While root canals may not be something you look forward to, they have gotten an ill-deserved reputation. The truth is that they do not have to cause discomfort and are an excellent method to save your teeth. This is one of the many reasons that it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. Postponing treatment could allow your condition to worsen past the point where we are able to save it, or the infection could spread to other teeth and bone.Dr. Fulton and Dr. Sargent may recommend a root canal if you exhibit the following symptoms...

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  We treat your periodontal infection with scaling and root planing, a non-surgical treatment similar to a deep cleaning. This allows us to clear away the bacteria and restore the health of your teeth and gums. In order to prevent future overgrowth of bacteria, Drs. Fulton and Sargent recommend periodontal maintenance visits. These appointments are scheduled more frequently than your regular dental cleanings and focus upon removing bacteria and plaque that build up beneath your gums. Our patients who have been treated for periodontal disease benefit greatly from regular periodontal maintenance visits.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Dentures are a removable option that provides you with a quick, affordable solution for missing teeth. They are often held in place with adhesives and therefore are not the most stable solution.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  A bridge is not the only solution to replace missing teeth. Dental implants provide a permanent restoration with many benefits. Implants are designed to replicate the tooth appearance and function and may be placed without altering the surrounding teeth. There are many differences between bridges and dental implants, including...

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Tooth Extractions
  Our goal is to help you retain your natural teeth throughout your lifetime. In some cases, however, that is not possible. If you have severe tooth pain, for example, please do not ignore this important warning sign. Addressing decay and infection early can make the difference in whether Drs. Fulton and Sargent can save the tooth. Our dentists perform tooth extraction for hopeless teeth. When would extraction be recommended?
• Bone Grafting
  Implants require sufficient bone density for successful placement and may not be a viable option for someone who has already suffered a great deal of bone loss and does not want to undergo bone grafting.
