- Dental ExaminationWith digital panoramic imaging, we’re able to examine beyond the teeth and see deep into the upper and lower jaw, the sinuses, and the surrounding bone and tissues. This technology produces an image that helps with diagnosing jaw tumors/cysts, as well as impacted teeth. It also shows us all the roots of existing teeth as chronic, non-painful infections are often found. This x-ray is taken on all new patients at their initial patient exam unless one can be obtained that is less than three years old from a previous dentist.
- Teeth CleaningPreventive dental treatment keeps patients healthy and encourages them to be proactive about their oral health. During routine dental cleanings, we’ll examine your mouth, teeth, and gums using efficient and advanced techniques and technology.
- Dental SealantsPediatric dentistry aims to prevent dental decay while encouraging children to practice good oral hygiene habits. We provide sealants to protect children’s teeth against decay, and we also make custom mouthguards for young athletes. We happily see children of all ages.
- FillingsSilver amalgam fillings are made from a metal alloy that provides a healthy and strong barrier for a tooth.
- Resin CompositeTooth bonding utilizes composite resin to improve the appearance of discolored or chipped teeth. Once applied, the resin is bonded, cured, and shaped to enhance the natural shape and color of your teeth. Discover more about tooth bonding and how you can maintain the best results.
- VeneersDo you have chipped, stained, and misaligned teeth? Made of ceramic, veneers are placed over teeth to make them look fuller, brighter, and more uniform. If you’re looking to transform your smile, learn more about veneers and what you can expect during treatment.
- CrownsDental crowns cover and protect damaged or decaying teeth. They’re also used for cosmetic purposes because they can change the size, shape, and color of the teeth.
- BridgesDental crowns cover individual teeth affected by damage or decay, and dental bridges cover larger areas where there are multiple missing or affected teeth. Crowns are normally placed on healed implants, following root canal treatment, teeth diagnosed with Crack Tooth Syndrome and teeth with extensive “fillings” with little remaining tooth structure. Onlays are more conservative than crowns but provide the same benefits. Dr. Nick and Dr. Maria will help you decide the best option for your tooth.
- Dental BondingTooth bonding fills gaps, corrects minor chips and fractures, and restores areas of discoloration. Results are immediate, and patients can prolong their results by monitoring their consumption of coffee, tea, cola, and wine.
- Restorative DentistryLosing teeth can be a traumatic event in a person’s life that changes their confidence and how they eat, speak, and smile. We offer the latest advancements in implant and restorative dentistry to help our patients regain their smiles and sense of self.
- Root Canal TreatmentWhen the nerve of the tooth dies as a result of deep decay, multiple restorations over the years or a cracked tooth, a root canal removes the dying/infected tissue within the tooth. Once the tooth is comfortable a crown is placed on the tooth to give it adequate strength for longevity.
- Periodontal SurgeryPeriodontal disease is a chronic condition that needs immediate attention. Through a series of deep cleanings this condition can be controlled. Periodontal surgery is only necessary for severe cases.
- DenturesDentures function as removable replacement teeth. Partial dentures have a metal or acrylic framework and are the least expensive way to replace multiple missing teeth. We offer full dentures and immediate full dentures depending on your needs.
- Dental ImplantsWhen a tooth needs to be removed, we are prepared to help you feel comfortable and relaxed every step of the way. There are occasions, especially when an implant may be placed in the future, that socket grafting will be discussed to help preserve the bone. Some teeth can be removed and an implant placed at the same appointment.
