- Oral Cancer ScreeningYou can help prevent oral cancer by abstaining from all forms of tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption. According to a study in the May/June 2007 issue of General Dentistry, the clinical, peer-reviewed journal of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), vaccines that have been developed to treat HPV might decrease the risk of developing oral cancer. Because successful treatment and rehabilitation are dependent on early detection, it is extremely important to regularly check your mouth for changes in appearance and see us for an oral cancer screening and regular checkup at least every six months. Survival rates greatly increase the earlier oral cancer is discovered and treated.

- Fillings
- Resin CompositeBonding is the process of using a composite resin to fill in gaps between teeth or to whiten them. Bonding also may be used to correct chipped teeth or minor decay. The bonding procedure may be completed in a single office visit, and the results often last for several years, although some bonding resins are more susceptible to staining or chipping than other materials.
- VeneersVeneers are thin pieces of porcelain or resin placed over the front of the teeth to change their color or shape. In addition to improving teeth with uneven surfaces, veneers can be used to correct chipped, discolored, oddly-shaped, unevenly spaced or crooked teeth.
- Crowns“I recommend Oconto Falls Dental to anyone that needs a crown. They have up to date technology that provides patients with same day crowns. “
- BridgesIf you are missing any teeth, the resulting space could cause speech or chewing problems. Missing teeth also can cause your remaining teeth to move out of position. This repositioning can make you more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease, which can cause further tooth loss. A fixed bridge can replace those missing teeth, correcting your bite, and improving your chewing and speech abilities. A bridge also can help to maintain the natural shape of your face.
- Dental Bonding
- Restorative DentistryCrown Lengthening procedures are done for both restorative dentistry and/or to improve the aesthetics of your gum line. This procedure adjusts the gum and bone level to expose more of the tooth so it can be restored.
- Root Canal TreatmentInside your teeth is a soft material called pulp that contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. If this pulp becomes infected, it can cause severe tooth pain. In some cases, that infection will require root canal therapy.
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesBridges are sometimes called “fixed partial dentures.” However, unlike removable partial dentures, bridges cannot be removed by the patient.
- OverdenturesOverdentures fit over a small number of remaining teeth or implants after they have been prepared. We will usually try to preserve your remaining natural teeth. Saving these teeth can help preserve your jawbone and provide support for the denture.
- Dental ImplantsThe cone beam gives a clear view of bone and tooth structure, which allow us to measure and plan for the precise placement and correct size dental implant. We can also asses airways, abscessed teeth, dental decay, the TMJ joint, infections and malformations with one noninvasive scan.
- Oral SurgeryTooth extractions are a common form of oral surgery but, like most surgeries, this procedure leaves the body susceptible to infection. Before scheduling your extraction, it is important to be honest with us by providing your entire medical history—including a list of all of your medications and supplements. Your medical history will guide us in developing the pre- and post-treatment plan that best fits your needs.

- Bone GraftingBone grafting is a common dental procedure which may be required prior to dental implant placement. The main purpose of bone grafting is to replace or increase the presence of bone at the surgical site. After a tooth is extracted the height of the bone will naturally decrease. By placing bone in the extraction socket we are able to rebuild the bone close to original height.
- Teeth WhiteningWhitening is a chemical procedure used to brighten dull teeth, which often become discolored over time. Some people have their teeth whitened to remove stains, while other simply want a brighter smile.
