- Space Maintainers
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeYour dentist has an impressive array of tools to use in fixing cavities, damaged teeth, chipped or decayed teeth. Dental fillings, one of the most common restorations, can be done with composite resin, metals (gold, silver), amalgam, or porcelain. Composite resin is made of plastics or ceramics mixed with glass ionomers.
- VeneersIf you have small imperfections in your teeth such as chips, cracks, or stains that are the result of an accident or simple wear and tear, cosmetic veneers can be a simple but effective treatment. Issues with alignment can also be addressed using these thin, custom-made shells that are attached to the front of the teeth. This placement effectively conceals flaws and produces a more attractive smile. It is a quick, comfortable, and affordable option in cosmetic dentistry.
- CrownsTooth crowns are used to restore imperfect or damaged teeth. They can effectively add strength and improve the shape of a worn, decayed or broken tooth. A dental crown is a cap that surrounds the entire tooth structure. It gets cemented on and covers the whole visible portion above the gum line. In fact, a crown serves as a replacement enamel. At Lincoln Dental Associates we offer crowns made of porcelain, metal, or a combination. Porcelain is the preferred material because it is strong, durable and it mimics the appearance of natural teeth.
- BridgesA dental bridge is made of one or several prosthetic teeth (pontics). Natural-looking pontics are designed to mimic the color, shape, and size of your existing teeth. The replacement tooth or teeth are bordered by
- Restorative DentistryRestorative dentistry in the past few years, more and more patients can achieve the smile of their dreams and face their future with renewed confidence.

- Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
- Periodontal SurgeryIf a patient’s condition is too far advanced for dental scaling and planning to treat, periodontal surgery may be recommended. There are several types of surgery, each with a different goal...
- Deep CleaningThis treatment can be effective when gum disease is in its early stages. It is also called a deep cleaning because it follows basically the same procedure as a routine cleaning. However, while a standard cleaning goes only to the gum line, a deep cleaning goes into the gums to remove plaque and tartar. It is slightly more invasive than regular cleaning and will require a local anesthetic to minimize pain and discomfort. It may need to be completed over the course of two appointments. Following the removal of plaque and tartar (dental scaling), your dentist will place the tooth roots, or smooth them out. This is meant to discourage bacteria from collecting in and around the gums again. A successful scaling and planning procedure will help the gums reattach to the teeth and shrink the periodontal pockets.
- DenturesWhile replacing missing teeth in the mouth may seem trivial, it is essential to how your mouth functions and can prevent problems eating, speaking, or drinking. If you are missing one, several, or all of the teeth in your mouth, your dentist may recommend partial dentures or complete dentures. Dentures are a way for the experts at Lincoln Dental Associates in Lincoln to restore the function of your teeth and give you a beautiful smile.
- Dental ImplantsNot only will a dental implant in Lincoln help to restore your smile in the ways already mentioned, but the procedure ensures a smile that is natural in its appearance. Even if it’s been months or years since you’ve lost a tooth that you’d like to have replaced a dental implant procedure can help you regain the confidence – and health – of your smile today!

- Flap Surgery
- Tooth ExtractionsEndodontic treatment, or more – but there may be times when a tooth extraction in Lincoln, NE is the best option for your long-term oral health.
- OrthodonticsIf you or your loved one has dental issues that may be treated with orthodontics, consider visiting Lincoln Dental Associates in Lincoln to discuss your options and whether or not Invisalign® is right for you. Your dentist will perform an examination of your mouth and determine if Invisalign® can correct your smile effectively.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsWhen you wear Invisalign® clear aligners, you won’t believe the level of comfort experienced. Metal braces can be uncomfortable and cause pain when brackets rub against the mouth. However, you won’t experience that with Invisalign®. They’re so comfortable that you won’t even feel them there – but don’t forget to remove them before eating or drinking anything other than water.
- BracesWhile some orthodontic treatment methods take several years to see results, you won’t have to worry about wearing Invisalign® aligners for long. Most patients see an improvement in their smile within a few weeks. After about a year and a half, the results are often achieved and patients enjoy looking at their new and improved smile. There’s no need to wear metal braces that may potentially need to stay on teeth for over 2 years – try Invisalign® to get results much faster.
- Teeth WhiteningTeeth whitening treatments are one of the most popular in cosmetic dentistry. A professional whitening treatment can produce a much more dramatic effect than products available over the counter. It can remove discoloration that results from diet, personal habits such as smoking, or simply aging. It is also safer and may not result in tooth sensitivity as over-the-counter products can.
