- Dental ExaminationIf you experience bleeding or swollen gums, gums that are pulling away from your teeth, bad breath or taste, loose or changing teeth, you may have signs of gum disease. If you don’t take proper care of your teeth, smoke or chew tobacco, are pregnant, have diabetes, have crooked teeth, or take certain medications, you may have an increased risk of gum disease. Regular dental exams are important for identifying any symptoms that may develop into a problem.
- X-raysWe have invested in many advanced tools to improve diagnostic precision and clinical accuracy. Our state-of-the-art technology also enhances patient safety and comfort. For example, our VELscope® oral cancer scanner can identify the disease before it’s visible to the naked eye. We also proudly feature digital x-rays and panoramic x-rays, which are far safer and faster than traditional x-rays. Combined with photos from our intraoral camera, they help Dr. Detienne diagnose conditions and co-plan treatments with her patients.
- Oral Cancer ScreeningOne way we do this is by using the VELscope to perform oral cancer screenings. It is a wireless scope that helps our dentists see abnormal tissue. It uses natural tissue fluorescence to identify abnormalities in oral tissue that we can’t see normally.
- Teeth Cleaning
- Fillings
- VeneersTeeth whitening products use bleaches (either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) to break stains into smaller pieces, which make them harder to see and make your teeth brighter. These bleaches do not work on all teeth, so it is important to consult your dentist before any treatment. Whitening will not be effective on caps, veneers, crowns, fillings or if the color is caused by medications or injury.
- CrownsA tooth can lose its normal shape and size for a variety of reasons. A crown covers your tooth to help restore its original shape and size. Crowns can also be used to make teeth stronger and look better.
- BridgesBridges can be removable or fixed. Removable bridges can be taken out and cleaned by patients, whereas fixed bridges have to be removed by a dentist. Bridges can be implanted to the jaw or under the gums. With so many options, it is important to consult with your dentist about which type of bridge is best for you.
- Dental Bonding
- Root Canal TreatmentWe take a conservative approach to dentistry, and you can trust that we will only recommend treatments that are absolutely necessary. Whether you come in for a general checkup or more extensive procedures such as root canals, crowns, or bridges, you will receive the best care available and results that exceed your expectations.
- DenturesRemovable dental replacements, or dentures, are a common service that we provide for our clients. We provide both complete dentures (for when all teeth are missing) and partial dentures (for when some teeth are missing).
- Dental ImplantsCrowns have a variety of uses. In some cases that require a large filling, there isn’t enough tooth remaining to keep the filling in place. A crown can strengthen the tooth and hold the filling. Crowns can also protect teeth that are weak, or help fix ones that are broken. Discolored or misshaped teeth can be covered by a crown, as can dental implants.
- Tooth Extractions
- Orthodontics

- Teeth WhiteningMany people think the coloring of teeth is due to plaque or dirt. But a variety of factors can affect the color of your teeth including food, drink, tobacco, age, injury, and medications. Understanding what is causing the discoloration is important to properly whitening your teeth.

- General DentistryMy experience at Madison Family Dentistry has been nothing but positive. I started going to Madison Family Dentistry when I was interested in getting 6 Month Smiles cosmetic braces. I had to commute 40 minutes each time I had an appointment but every time I arrived I was greeted with friendly smiles and was treated great. After my braces came off, I continued to go to Madison Family Dentistry for my general dentistry needs despite the 40-minute commute because of the great experience I had. Finding a dentist that you are comfortable with and trust can be hard to come by, and that’s exactly what I found at Family Madison Dentistry. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
