- Dental ExaminationAt your checkup, you will receive a thorough cleaning and an oral exam by the dentist. During the oral exam, the dentist checks the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks, and tongue. At each visit, the dentist also checks old fillings and restorations because constant pressure from chewing, grinding, or clenching can cause them to wear away, chip, or crack.
- X-raysWe recommend taking x-rays around the age of two or three. The first set consists of simple pictures of the front upper and lower teeth, which familiarizes your child with the process. Once the baby teeth in back are touching each other, then regular (at least yearly) x-rays are recommended. Permanent teeth start coming in around age six, and x-rays help us make sure your child's teeth and jaw are healthy and properly aligned. If your child is at a high risk of dental problems, we may suggest having x-rays taken at an earlier age.
- Teeth Cleaning
- Dental SealantsSometimes brushing is not enough. Everyone has hard-to-reach spots in their mouth and brushing doesn't always fully clean those difficult places. When that happens, you are at risk of tooth decay. Using sealants on your teeth gives you an extra line of defense against tooth decay.
- Fillings
- Veneers
- CrownsDental implants are one of the most effective ways to replace missing teeth. And implant is surgically placed in the bone of the jaw to act as a sturdy anchor for replacement of teeth. Often the implant is made of titanium or similar materials and can hold a restoration like a crown or bridge to blend in with your adjacent teeth. Implants are an excellent long term option for restoring your smile.
