- Dental ExaminationThe first visit to our office might be scary for your children, but you can focus on it being an adventure, and being good for their teeth and their smile. Our dental team will help your child feel at ease while giving them a thorough oral examination.
- Teeth CleaningTreatment for gum disease includes periodontal cleaning and the removal of plaque and tartar buildup. Periodontitis is treated by cleaning and infection removal methods called scaling and root planing. Scaling is the removal of tartar from the gum line. Root planing removes rough spots on the teeth that allow bacteria to collect. After treatment you might be prescribed medicated mouth rinses or antibiotics to control infection.
- Dental Sealants– You may want to consider dental sealants for your child’s teeth. A sealant is put on the surface of the teeth and helps to guard the teeth against decay by blocking out plaque. Brushing is still important even if your child has a sealant, but a sealant can provide extra protection and last for up to ten years.
- FillingsThe need for dental fillings comes to most people at some point in their lives. Traditional metal fillings are unsightly, and they may even pose health and environmental hazards. While these fillings, called amalgam fillings, have been proven safe and have been used for years, they contain mercury, and many people prefer fillings without mercury. Natural or white composite fillings are not only mercury-free, but they look much better than silver fillings.
- VeneersOne of the best ways to get a new, dazzling smile is with dental veneers. Veneers are a cosmetic treatment that can actually change the shape of your front teeth, fill gaps and give you a beautiful smile. The color of your teeth can be changed too if you choose veneers in a brighter, whiter shade than your teeth are now.
- CrownsA dental crown may be recommended by your dentist for several reasons. The tooth could be extremely damaged or discolored, the tooth could be weak and needs help being held together, or it may be a cosmetic decision.
- BridgesA full mouth reconstruction is the process of replacing or repairing all of the teeth in your mouth. This happens when someone has either lost all of their natural teeth or has multiple serious problems involving all or most of their remaining teeth and replacing them is a more viable option than attempting to save them. Full mouth reconstruction can involve the placement of bridges, partial dentures or full dentures, implants, crowns or some combination of restorative procedures. A full mouth reconstruction could, for example, involve the placement of a dental bridge to replace most of the teeth while some others are not extracted but repaired with crowns.
- Dental Bonding
- Restorative DentistryThere are an infinite amount of benefits to restoring your smile and improving your confidence. Getting your smile camera ready enhances your overall dental health and avoids the spread of bacteria and infections in your mouth, making your teeth stronger. With restorative dentistry treatment you can achieve the cosmetic results you always wanted. At Berkshire Family Dental we offer restorative treatments that range from dental implants to a full mouth reconstruction.
- Root Canal TreatmentWhen a tooth is so diseased that it is actually dying, without root canal therapy, it would have to be extracted and replaced with an artificial tooth. Root canal therapy can remove dead tissue and replace it with material that allows the tooth to live again. A virtually dead tooth can be saved with root canal therapy and last for the rest of your life.
- DenturesPartial dentures are used when at least one tooth or more are still viable. The partial will be built around that tooth or teeth.
- Dental ImplantsMost dental implants consist of a metal base with a cylindrical segment sticking out of the gum and the artificial tooth that is fitted to the protruding metal section. The base acts as a root would and keeps the tooth firmly in place. To accomplish this, it is installed directly into the jaw bone.
- Oral Surgery
- Tooth ExtractionsUnfortunately sometimes teeth become diseased, damaged or infected over time and in some cases, may need to be removed (extracted). If this situation should apply to you, one of our highly experienced dentists will make the tooth extraction experience as painless as possible. Our latest dental technology allows this dental extraction procedure to be much more comfortable than in the past, and sedation dentistry treatment options help to ensure that your time with us is anxiety-free.
- Bone GraftingIf your jaw bone is determined to be overly soft or too thin, a bone graft may be recommended. A dental bone graft involves placing a bone grafting material in the area to strengthen the jaw. When the jaw is strengthened through bone graft surgery, it allows the base of the implant to remain secure.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsAt Berkshire Family Dental our dental team is trained in the latest technology for Invisalign, which can help to straighten and perfect your smile, all while being nearly invisible.
- BracesWe can deliver our patients a perfect smile without the wires associated with traditional braces. Our clear aligners will straighten your teeth, no one has to know, and no one will know how you did it so quickly!
- Teeth WhiteningOne of the best things you can do to improve your smile is to whiten your teeth. Teeth whitening can remove stains that build up on your teeth and give you a dazzling smile. While there are at-home whitening kits sold in stores, professional teeth whitening is more effective and gives better results.
