- Dental ExaminationYour bonded teeth require the same amount of care as your natural teeth, including regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental exams. However, because the bonding agent can chip, we advise avoiding biting or chewing on hard items such as fingernails, pens, and ice. If you suspect your bonding has chipped, contact our dental office right away. Taking proper care of your bonded teeth will prevent premature chipping and help lengthen the bonding’s lifespan.
- X-raysVisiting your dentist for routine cleanings and checkups is more than “just a cleaning.” During your visit, we assess your gum tissues for disease, check the hard structures for decay and educate as well as coach patients on how to achieve optimal dental health. In order to diagnose any type of disease in the mouth, a few things are needed. Dental x-rays based on ADA recommendations and patient risk factors, as well as history are updated. X-rays help the dentist and hygienist determine if there are cavities, any areas of bone loss and screen for dental tumors, cysts, etc. After Read More →
- Teeth CleaningProfessional cleanings on a timely basis help you maintain a beautiful, fresh smile and optimal oral health. Regular examinations identify problems at their earliest and most treatable stages.
- Fluoride Treatment
- Dental SealantsThe back teeth (molars) have numerous pits and grooves which are difficult to cleanse of food particles and bacterial plaque. As a result, decay can easily start in these areas even with meticulous dental hygiene. Application of dental sealants is painless and non-invasive and is extremely effective at preventing cavities.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeBonding is a quick and effective solution for a number of cosmetic issues, such as discolored teeth, chipped teeth, shortened teeth, or unwanted spacing between teeth. Bonding can also be used to repair decayed teeth or fill cavities. The composite resin is life-like and can be shaped and polished to match your natural teeth, giving you a consistent, natural looking smile.
- VeneersAre you proud of your smile? Do you look at magazine models and television stars wishing you had the same confident grin they have? If your teeth are discolored and stained, chipped, cracked, or are slightly misaligned, consider crowns or veneers. Made from esthetic blends of porcelain, crowns and veneers completely cover the front of your teeth to create a perfectly shaped, dazzlingly white, absolutely gorgeous smile.
- CrownsA bridge is a connected row of artificial teeth that fills in the space left by missing teeth. It connects to two crowns, which are placed on each side of the space.
- BridgesThe advantage of using dental implants instead of traditional bridges is the adjacent teeth do not have to be crowned (to support the bridge). Dental implants offer other important advantages over traditional fixed bridges in that caring for implants is very much the same as with natural teeth.
