  Zoom Whitening uses a proprietary LED light to accelerate the whitening gel chemical reaction. It is a fast and safe procedure powered by innovative technology. After an initial oral exam, the complete treatment takes one office visit. The procedure begins with a short preparation period followed by three 15-minute bleaching sessions, with an optional fourth 15-minute session administered at the discretion of your dentist. Patients love the immediate results. You will receive the take home trays at no extra charge. Zoom Quick pro- in office
• X-rays
  An article was released to the public stating that dental X-rays contribute to a type of brain cancer. After reading an article like this, your first thought may be to avoid dental X-rays, but you may want to hold off on that quick judgment. As with any treatment we offer at Lake Family Dentistry, education is your most valuable tool in deciding what is best for you.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Oral cancer screening is an examination performed by a dentist or doctor to look for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in your mouth. The goal of oral cancer screening is to identify mouth cancer early, when there is a greater chance for a cure

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
• Fluoride Treatment
• Dental Sealants
  The sealant acts as a barrier, protecting enamel from plaque and acids. The sealant is painted onto the tooth enamel,where it bonds directly to the tooth and hardens. This plastic resin bonds into the depressions and grooves (pits and fissures) of the chewing surfaces of back teeth. As long as the sealant remains intact, the tooth surface will be protected from decay.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Fillings are done to remove decay (cavity), and replace the affected tooth structure.If not treated decay can lead to tooth pain and/or infection. Dr. Amin and Dr. Assar place only composite resins, or tooth- colored fillings, because they provide good durability and resistance to fractures without any metal or other chemicals that make up the amalgam (silver filling) material.

• Crowns
  Crowns are full coverage restorations that are used to cover a tooth that is likely to break, or is too broken down to be restored with a filling. They are most commonly done after root canal treatment, or when a large filling wears out. The larger the hole made by a cavity that has to be treated, the more likely a crown will be needed
• Bridges
  Before development of dental implants, fixed dental bridges and removable dentures were the only alternative to replacing a missing tooth or teeth. We can now replace any missing teeth, from one tooth, to a mouthful of teeth with implants. Dental implants in conjunction with ceramic crowns are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. Foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge, and implants can also be used to attach to full arch dentures to make them more comfortable and stable to wear and are designed to blend in with your other teeth.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Root canal treatment is necessary when the pulp (soft tissue inside your teeth containing blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue) becomes inflamed or diseased. During root canal treatment, Dr. Amin removes the diseased pulp. The pulp chamber and root canal(s) of the tooth are then cleaned and sealed.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  The treatment usually involves a deep cleaning or root planning and scaling. This procedure is done under a local anesthetic, along with local antibiotic agents. If the gum disease gets too severe it may need to be treated through surgery or extraction. This is why it is important to get it treated at the first sign of a problem.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  There are different types of dentures, but they share their common function. They replace teeth that have become loose or been lost due to bone loss. When bone loss around the roots of teeth is great enough to loosen them or let them fall out, it's time for dentures.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Dental implants are made up of titanium and other materials that are compatible with the human body. They are posts that are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, where they function as a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth. What makes an implant so strong is that the bone actually grows around it and holds it in place. Most patients find that the implants have a more secure fit and feel more natural. You will never need to deal with adhesives, and eating and speaking will feel wonderfully easy again. They are an excellent long-term option for restoring your smile.

  That being said, it's important to know that gum does not have any dietary benefits, so while it’s not exactly harmful to swallow, you still want to avoid swallowing it. If you are an avid gum-chewer, we encourage you to chew sugarless gum, especially if you are wearing braces, because gum with sugar can lead to cavities. Sugarless gum still has the same amount of flavor, but has fewer cavity-causing ingredients. In fact, many brands contain an additive called xylitol, a natural sweetener known to fight cavity-causing bacteria. Xylitol is also known to increase salivary flow as it rinses away plaque and acid.
