Hygiene/Preventative Care
Hygiene care or "cleanings" is an important aspect of maintaining good oral hygiene. It involves the removal of plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth. During a dental cleaning, the hygienist will use specialized tools to clean your teeth and gums, remove any stubborn plaque or tartar, and polish your teeth to leave them smooth and shiny. Proper teeth cleaning and maintenance can help prevent dental problems and keep your smile healthy and bright.
Dental Restorations
Dental restorations or "fillings" is a common procedure to repair a cavity or a damaged tooth. The process involves numbing the affected tooth and surrounding area , removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth, and filling the space with a material such as composite resin, porcelain, or silver amalgam
Crown and Bridge
A crown placement is a dental procedure that involves covering a damaged, decayed, or discolored tooth with a custom-fitted cap, or crown, to restore its function and appearance. A bridge placement is a dental procedure that involves replacing one or more missing teeth with an artificial tooth or teeth.
Root Canals
A root canal treatment can prevent the extraction of a tooth if its nerve becomes infected. The procedure involves the removal of the damaged or dead pulp from the affected tooth, which may have been caused by injury or infection.
Extractions
Tooth extraction is a procedure done when removing a tooth. Disease, trauma, or crowding can necessitate the removal of a tooth.
Implants
A dental implant is a common dental procedure used to replace missing teeth. The process of getting a dental implant typically involves a consultation with a dentist, a dental implant surgery, and a healing period. After the healing period, the dentist will place a custom-made crown or bridge on top of the implant, which provides a natural-looking and functional replacement tooth.
Sedation Dentistry
Oral and intravenous drugs can be used under controlled monitoring to provide patient sedation for for certain procedures and challenging situations.
Lip or Tongue Frenectomies
A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that removes a small fold of tissue connecting the lips or tongue to the gums. It's done to correct speech difficulties, improve dental health, or improve breathing. The procedure involves local anesthesia, a small incision in the frenum, sutures to prevent reattachment as well as exercises to prevent reattachment.
Mouth Guards/Night Guards
Night guards are dental appliances worn over the teeth while sleeping. They are typically made of a soft, flexible material and are designed to protect the teeth and jaw from the effects of grinding or clenching, which can cause dental problems such as tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and even tooth fractures. Ours are custom-made to fit the patient's teeth comfortably and effectively.
Whitening Trays
Whitening trays are a popular and effective way to brighten teeth. Our whitening trays are custom-made dental appliances that fit over the teeth and are filled with a bleaching gel to whiten teeth and to be used at home.
Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are placed on the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They can be used to correct a variety of dental issues, including discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, and misalignment. Veneers are a popular cosmetic dental option as they provide a natural-looking and durable solution to improve the overall look of the teeth. This requires consultation with our dentist, preparation of the teeth, and placement of the veneers, providing a confident, beautiful smile.
Connective Tissue Grafting
A connective tissue graft is a common dental procedure used to treat gum recession and improve the overall health of the gums.
