Preventative Dentistry
Dental care that helps maintain good oral health. It’s a combination of regular dental cleanings, x-rays, exams, sealants, and topical fluoride treatment. Along with developing good habits like brushing and flossing. Taking care of your teeth starts early in childhood and extends throughout the course of your life.
Basic Restorative Dentistry
Basic restorative dentistry encompasses “the simple stuff”: amalgam (silver) & composite (tooth colored) fillings, non-surgical extractions, and protective restorations (medicated fillings). Most noninvasive dental treatment is categorized as basic treatment.
Nonsurgical Periodontal
Precise cleaning of the tooth surfaces to control microbial periodontal infection by removing subgingival (below the gums) calculus and bacterial biofilm followed by 3- or 4-months periodontal cleanings to ensure the disease does not advance. Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss as well as acerbating illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic illnesses.
Crown & Bridges
Refers to fixed or cemented dental prosthetics used to replace / restore missing tooth structure due to large failing fillings or tooth loss. A crown restores a single tooth, and a bridge is a less invasive way of restoring missing teeth by utilizing adjacent teeth as retainers for the pontic (fake tooth).
Dental Implants
Titanium medical device surgically implanted into the upper or lower jaw. This treatment is multi phased. In most cases there are 2 additional components in addition to the implant placement. An Implant can restore one (1) missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. Implants are also used to help retain removable partials and dentures using precision attachments.
Clear Aligner Orthodontics
Treatment utilizing thin plastic engineered material to fabricate movement trays that are esthetic, less painful, treatment length is usually shorter than traditional braces and the best part of clear aligners is home care regimens do not change. You brush and floss just as you did before treatment.
Teeth Whitening
Cosmetic procedure that chemically lightens your teeth resulting in 5 to 10 shades whiter than using over the counter whitening products. We offer custom tray at home whitening, Chairside (same day results) whitening and a convenient take and GO whitening solution. For patients that have a history of sensitivity after whitening. We stock products that help lessen sensitivity during and after whitening.
Full Mouth Reconstruction (FMR)
Dental procedures that replace and rebuild all the teeth in the upper and lower arches of the mouth. Reestablishing a patient’s vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) is necessary with full mouth reconstruction. Diminished VDO is often caused by bruxism (grinding), clenching and tooth loss. FMR requires extensive treatment planning, transitional dental treatment before occlusal function and final restorative treatment is complete.
