Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  As you can see, preventive dental care (i.e., dental exams, cleanings, digital X-rays, etc.) is covered at 100%. This is to encourage you to stay on top of your twice-yearly appointments. Why? Not only does it cost you nothing out of pocket, but you’ll also be more likely to avoid more serious problems in the future.
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Dentists like Dr. Neelima Ravi, DMD, FAGD are in a unique position to find the early signs of multiple forms of systemic disease during your routine exams. One of the most common cancers is oral cancer, and routine checkups at her dental office could mean the difference between catching and treating the initial symptoms or going through extensive and expensive medical procedures to remove it. We’ll perform a visual examination of your mouth and neck every time you come in for a checkup.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  You may need more than teeth cleaning to fix minor smile flaws. After all, some tooth stains can be pretty stubborn. On the other hand, clean pearly whites will still show any chips or cracks you have. All that being said, though, there is a solution: cosmetic dental bonding in Hampton! As performed by Oceanside Family Dental, this treatment can hide various tooth-related imperfections. To learn more, just keep reading or contact our office to book a consultation.
• Fluoride Treatment
  Fluoride is found in the foods we eat, the public water we drink, and the oral care products we use on a regular basis. Without it, your tooth enamel is not able to properly perform the remineralization process. This process is responsible for keeping teeth strong and protected from cavity-causing bacteria. In addition to the sources we just touched on, our fluoride treatments are another way to provide teeth the protection they need.
• Dental Sealants
  If you have multiple teeth that have decay or you’re worried that your child may develop decay while their teeth are still emerging, you’ll find relief in preventive treatments like dental sealants. Through the use of a clear plastic material, we can effectively seal teeth that are more prone to collecting food debris and bacteria, particularly the molars and premolars. After a brief application, you can expect 10 years of protection for you or your child.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Unlike silver amalgam fillings of the past, tooth-colored fillings use materials that not only look more natural but more effectively restore teeth as well, all without sacrificing healthy tooth enamel in the process. Most patients would prefer to keep metal materials out of their mouth however possible, which is why we prioritize the use of composite resin over metals. With it, we can easily shape and mold your filling inside of your tooth rather than remove tooth enamel just to make it fit, which is common with amalgam fillings.
• Resin Composite
  In the consultation phase, you and Dr. Ravi will discuss your dental needs and goals. More specifically, you’ll talk about what to expect from dental bonding and your desired results. From there, our office can solidify the details of your treatment plan, including the shade of composite resin you’d prefer.
• Veneers
  Are there just too many things about your pearly whites you want to improve? Dr. Neelima Ravi, DMD, FAGD have the comprehensive solution for addressing several flaws at once: porcelain veneers. With these ultra-thin sheaths, you can hide everything from chips to cracks to stains so that all anyone else sees is your dazzling grin. Thinking about getting a smile makeover? Contact Oceanside Family Dental today to learn more about porcelain veneers in Hampton.
• Crowns
  In simple terms, dental crowns are essentially synthetic caps that are placed on top of damaged teeth. They are usually made from porcelain, however, they have been made with many different materials over the years. Dental crowns in Hampton, NH are mainly used to restore the function of teeth as well as their appearance. If significant decay is present and large portions of the tooth need to be removed, a crown can fully restore it.
• Bridges
  One of the most common methods for replacing individual or multiple consecutive teeth are dental bridges. A bridge is made up of multiple crowns that are fused together. The crowns on the end of the bridge are hollowed out so they can be placed on top of the healthy teeth adjacent to the gap in the smile. The crowns in between these hollowed-out crowns, or pontics, work to fill the gap and prevent the neighboring teeth from shifting out of place.
• Dental Bonding
  Cosmetic dental bonding is a treatment that hides mild-to-moderate flaws in your teeth. In particular, it relies on a tooth-colored resin to cover things like stains, chips, cracks, fractures, and more. Given the resin’s features, this procedure’s results look natural and blend with the rest of your smile.
• Restorative Dentistry
  At the end of the day, it’s always better to keep your natural teeth rather than have them extracted and replaced due to physical trauma or significant decay. No tooth replacement is better than your natural teeth! That’s why our dental office always takes the time to repair decay and damaged tooth enamel with durable and natural-looking solutions for restorative dentistry in Hampton, NH. To get your smile restored, contact Dr. Neelima Ravi, DMD, FAGD at Oceanside Family Dental today!

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Most of the time, dental insurance will offer some form of coverage for situations where you have a dental emergency. In some plans, at least one emergency exam may be fully covered, while common services associated with tooth pain, like root canal therapy and extractions, can receive partial coverage, anywhere from 50 % to 80%. Just remember that every plan is different, and yearly maximums usually come into effect. It’s important to confirm with your dental insurance company before committing to treatment.

• Tooth Extractions

• Bone Grafting
  During your consultation, we will go over your oral health and medical history to see if you make a good candidate. If necessary, we can work with you to complete preliminary procedures, like gum disease therapy, tooth extractions, and bone grafting. Then we can move on to planning the rest of your treatment. At this time, we will go over the step-by-step process in detail and discuss the financial aspects of your treatment. No one wants to run into surprises.
