Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Oral Cancer Screening – We are happy to provide oral cancer screenings with all examinations performed by a dentist or doctor to look for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in your mouth.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Scaling and Root Planing/Periodontal Cleaning (Deep Cleaning) – Is the process of removing dental plaque, its products, and calculus – which cause inflammation and bone loss. Much of the removal is below the gum line and anesthetic is necessary.
• Fluoride Treatment
• Dental Sealants
  Placement of Sealants – Sealants are a dental treatment intended to prevent tooth decay by painting a thin coating on the grooves of chewing surfaces.
• Space Maintainers

Restorative

• Fillings
  The cost is moderate and depends on the size of the filling and the technique used by the dentist to place it in the prepared tooth. It generally takes longer to place a composite filling than what is required for an amalgam filling. Composite fillings require a cavity that can be kept clean and dry during filling and they are subject to stain and discoloration over time.
• Resin Composite
  Resin Restorations (White Fillings) – A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. All fillings at our office are done with tooth colored composite resin. Meaning, we do not offer amalgam (silver) fillings.
• Veneers
  Veneers – Are ultra-thin shells of ceramic (porcelain) or a composite resin material, which are bonded to the front of teeth. Veneers can be the ideal choice for improving the appearance of the front teeth.
• Crowns
  Core Build Ups – The primary purpose of a core build- up is to replace enough missing tooth structure to permit the creation of ideal retention and resistance form in the crown preparation.
• Bridges
  Bridges – Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two crowns one on each tooth on either side of the gap. These two anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth, and a false tooth/teeth are placed in between.

Endodontics

• Pulpotomy
• Root Canal Treatment
  Root Canal – Root canal therapy is performed in order to save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. This occurs when the dental pulp where the nerves and the blood vessels of the teeth are located are infected or damaged by decay or trauma.
• Apicoectomy

Periodontics

• Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
  Gingivectomy – Is the excision of the gingiva. By removing the pocket wall, gingivectomy provides visibility and accessibility for complete calculus removal and thorough smoothing of the roots, creating a favorable environment for gingival healing and restoration of a physiologic gingival contour.
• Deep Cleaning
  Deep cleaning is a procedure that is meant to clean the areas of the teeth at or below the gum line where there is plaque and tartar buildup. This build up contributes to the separation of the gum tissue from the roots of the teeth and causes “pocketing.” This is what is commonly called, gum disease. Root planing [deep cleaning] is done while the patient is numb and smooths the roots of the teeth to allow for healing and the reattachment of the gums to the roots of the teeth.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Dentures (Partial and Full) – Are removable appliances that can replace missing teeth and help restore your smile.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) – Offers focused-field 3D technology with dedicated panoramic imaging with the highest resolution and the lowest radiation dose. It allows us to virtually plan to place implants and bone grafts, locate root canals for endodontic treatment and detect nerves for safer wisdom teeth removal.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Osseous Surgery
  Osseous Surgery – Is the final step in treating periodontal disease. It is a procedure used to smooth and reshape the affected bone and create a shallow pocket that makes it more difficult for more aggressive bacteria to survive.
• Tooth Extractions
  , bridges, Invisalign, veneers, flippers, and in office and take home teeth whitening. We also offer implants (placement and restoration), wisdom teeth extractions, IV sedation, oral sedation and nitrous
• Bone Grafting
  He graduated from McNeese State University and moved to the New Orleans area for dental school at LSU, where he served as Vice President and President of his class. Dr. Hammack has completed an extensive amount of education in dental implants, bone grafting, and IV sedation. He is able to provide both IV and oral conscious sedation for patients who are fearful of coming to the dentist. He is very gentle and takes his time, especially with patients who have dental anxiety.

Orthodontics

• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Intraoral Cameras – Allows us to show patients the smallest details of their mouths and teeth. The iTero Intraoral Scanner allows us to take a 3D digital scan of patients teeth and bite. Eliminates the need for messy impressions for Invisalign and other services and are also extremely accurate!
• Braces
  Invisalign – Invisalign is a set of custom made, clear, plastic trays that are placed in the mouth to help move teeth. It is like having braces that you can take off to eat, brush, and floss.
