- Dental ExaminationYour oral health affects much more than just your mouth. If you’re not taking care of your teeth, tongue, and gums, you could significantly increase your risk of developing cancer without even realizing it. If you’d like to learn more about the connection between oral health and cancer, contact our dental team to schedule an examination and cleaning today!
- X-raysX-rays are the only way to identify concerns that may not be visible to the naked eye. Based on the recommendations per the American Dental Association, cavity x-rays are completed annually and panoramic x-rays are taken every 3-5 years. Sometimes these guidelines are adjusted based on the condition of your oral health. We are always open to tailor these frequencies to fit your needs.
- Oral Cancer ScreeningAmerican Journal of Epidemiology found that poor mouth health and missing teeth were strongly linked to the development of oral cancer. Likewise, patients with healthy smiles were found to be far less likely to develop oral cancer. If you have been diagnosed with oral cancer, know that common oral health problems such as gum disease and tooth decay could be making the condition worse. Visiting our dental office regularly for professional cleanings, examinations, and oral cancer screenings to help catch signs of oral cancer early and make treatment easier and more effective.
- Teeth CleaningArea Dental Clinic provides a variety of dental services to patients of all ages. Whether you come to see us for a regular dental cleaning or a complicated oral procedure, our dedicated and compassionate team will prioritize your comfort every step of the way.
- Fluoride TreatmentFlouride treatments are frequently recommended for children, as research has shown children are less likely to develop cavities the earlier they are exposed to fluoride. Flouride has been proven to strengthen and re-mineralize teeth, so even if there is minor tooth decay, it can help prevent decay turning into a more serious cavity.
- Dental SealantsChildren often get dental sealants to protect the hard-to-reach teeth in the back of their mouths. However, dental sealants can benefit adults and those who have a higher risk of decay. Dental sealants are a layer of plastic-like material that coats the top surface of the tooth. Sealants protect the crevices in the tooth where bacteria reside and minimizes exposure of the tooth to harmful acids and sugars that wear down enamel.
- Fillings
- VeneersVeneers are a minimally invasive dental prosthesis that help correct cosmetic imperfections in your smile. They are crafted from the highest quality porcelain, bonded to your tooth, and are strong and highly stain resistant. The shape, size, and shade are custom made to produce beautiful, natural looking, long-lasting results.
- CrownsLost Filling or Crown: If your filling or crown was pulled out, your tooth will be vulnerable to damage and infection. These should be assessed by one of our experienced dentists as quickly as possible.
- BridgesA dental bridge is a restorative device that connects the area between one or more missing teeth. A bridge attaches artificial teeth to adjacent crowned teeth or implants. These are called abutment teeth and provide support for the bridge. Dental bridges are permanently attached and are a long-lasting, minimally invasive way to restore your mouth to full function.
- Restorative DentistrySometimes teeth get worn or injured. That’s okay — we’re here to restore them back to full health! Get Restored
- Root Canal TreatmentIf a tooth has a large cavity, a crack inside it, or if there was trauma to the tooth, it can become infected, which usually causes a painful toothache. At Area Dental Clinic, we offer root canal therapy to relieve pain in both front and back teeth.
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesDentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. With new technology, they are more comfortable and durable than ever before.
- Dental ImplantsDental Implants are a great option to restore your smile when you have missing teeth or find yourself at risk of losing teeth. The implant itself is a small prosthetic post that is placed into your upper or lower jawbone by an experienced dentist or oral surgeon. Carefully designed to fuse with your bone over time, it acts as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth so you can smile, chew, and speak normal.

- Tooth ExtractionsRemoval of Wisdom teeth are the most common type of tooth extraction. However, there are other reasons to remove a tooth. Examples include...
- Bone GraftingBone grafting is a surgical solution when a patient needs a dental implant or similar restoration, but doesn’t have enough bone to support it due to atrophy or facial trauma. The procedure is designed to rebuild bone structure. By placing bone taken from a tissue bank or other part of your own body, we can repair implant sites that have inadequate bone structure due to previous extractions, gum disease, or injuries. As always, your options will be discussed during treatment planning to ensure your preferences and goals are met.
