- Dental ExaminationIn a dental exam, your dentist will examine the teeth for signs of decay, evaluate gums, and draw conclusions regarding the health of your mouth. Exams may also include X-rays and other methods of diagnosis.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningOral cancer screening – Finally, the dentist will look at the soft tissues of the mouth to identify any lesions that could indicate oral cancer.
- Teeth CleaningEven if you brush after meals and in the morning and before bed, and you floss and swish religiously, you should still visit the dentist. Routine dental cleanings get plaque that remains even after these healthy behaviors.
- Fluoride TreatmentProfessional cleaning – One of your biannual cleanings may take place at the time of your checkup to help you save time. The hygienist will use specialized tools to reach areas between the teeth that you cannot reach with brushing and flossing. He or she will also polish your teeth and apply fluoride treatment to strengthen the tooth enamel and prevent cavities.
- Fillings
- VeneersSmall portion of the tooth surface is removed, and the tooth is reshaped with customized veneers. Your smile will look more natural
- CrownsMake the tooth stronger and won’t expand or contract in the mouth. If most of the tooth structure is gone, crowns can be placed to restore your damaged or broken tooth to improve support and function.
- Bridges
- Root Canal TreatmentDental checkups are nothing to be nervous about! Many patients might fear the possibility of additional corrective action, so we thought a few facts might help. Root canals have a fearsome reputation, but they are nowhere near as painful as their reputation suggests. The same is true with a cavity filling. We perform all additional procedures with compassion, and we communicate what we need to do to help you. There’s nothing to worry about. As for the checkup itself, we try our best to minimize any discomfort you might experience. We provide anxiety relief therapies, including sedation dentistry, and use calming voices when performing the checkup. Dental cleanings include...
- Deep CleaningWhen it comes to mild gum recession, a deep cleaning may be all that’s necessary to prevent and reverse the damage. However, more severe cases of gum recession leave the roots of the teeth exposed, setting the stage for tooth decay, tooth sensitivity, tooth infection, and tooth loss and requiring more diligent and effective restorative techniques to solve these oral health problems.
- DenturesIn addition to changes to your teeth, gums, or mouth, periodontal disease can also impact how partial dentures fit. While dentures do need to be adjusted from time to time, it’s worth exploring whether you have periodontal disease, especially if you notice any of the above symptoms.
- Dental ImplantsThere isn’t much a dentist can do about significant tooth decay. Eventually, we pull the affected teeth. As noted above, restoration treatments – like implants – are not cheap. Save yourself the time, embarrassment, and money and see Colorado Advanced Dentistry once a year.
