Our Services

Cleanings

While good dental home care is important, there are still many areas of the mouth that are not accessible to you, even with diligent tooth-brushing and flossing. Dental cleanings should be received at least twice a year, and are performed by our friendly, caring hygienist. Some patients require deep cleanings and more frequent recall visits to keep their teeth sturdy and their gums healthy. You can expect to leave the office feeling fresh, with tips and reminders to help you achieve and maintain oral health.

Cosmetic Bonding

The edge of a tooth can fracture from certain foods or habits, but may not warrant full coverage. Some teeth don’t grow or develop the way they should. Intrinsic staining may not look good. For these reasons, cosmetic bonding can be indicated. Tooth-colored material is used to build up the cracked edge, to recontour, or to cover up stains. These restorations do require good homecare and hygiene follow up, but can make a big difference in the appearance of a tooth and a patient’s entire smile.

Emergencies

Tooth pain is nothing to smile about, and we do everything we can to address dental emergencies in a timely manner. Even when the office is closed, there is always a dentist on call to answer any questions or to address any concerns. In some emergency situations, one of our dentists may decide to open the office after hours to perform an examination and provide care for the patient in need.

Implants

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason, and can be placed by our very own highly trained dentists.

The ideal candidate for a dental implant is in good general and oral health. Adequate bone in your jaw is needed to support the implant, and the best candidates have healthy gum tissues that are free of periodontal disease.

• Replacing a Single Tooth - If you are missing a single tooth, one implant and a crown can replace it.
• Replacing Several Teeth - If you are missing several teeth, implant-supported bridges can replace them.
• Replacing All of Your Teeth - If you are missing all of your teeth, an implant-supported full bridge or full denture can replace them.
• Sinus Augmentation - A key to implant success is the quantity and quality of the bone where the implant is to be placed. The upper back jaw has traditionally been one of the most difficult areas to successfully place dental implants due to insufficient bone quantity and quality and the close proximity to the sinus. Sinus augmentation can help correct this problem by raising the sinus floor and developing bone for the placement of dental implants.
• Ridge Modification - Deformities in the upper or lower jaw can leave you with inadequate bone in which to place dental implants. To correct the problem, the gum is lifted away from the ridge to expose the bony defect. The defect is then filled with bone or bone substitute to build up the ridge. Ridge modification has been shown to greatly improve appearance and increase your chances for successful implants that can last for years to come.

Your own teeth require conscientious at-home oral care and regular dental visits. Dental implants are like your own teeth and will require the same care. In order to keep your implant clean and plaque-free, brushing and flossing still apply!

Periodic follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your implant, teeth and gums to make sure they are healthy.

Special Needs Dentistry

There are many people who cannot find healthcare providers due to their disabilities or extensive medical histories. At our practice, we welcome these patients and make sure to provide the utmost care while taking special considerations regarding their conditions. Modifications to treatment or the dental environment can be helpful, and we strive to provide these patients with the dental education and treatment that is needed in a comfortable and caring environment.

Veneers

If someone is unhappy with the appearance of their front teeth, a possible treatment option are dental veneers. A minimal amount of tooth preparation is necessary to cover the front portion of the teeth with porcelain in the shape, length, and shade of your choice. These porcelain “shells” are bonded onto the teeth individually, and are a great way to improve your smile.
