Preventative

Restorative

Esthetic

PREVENTATIVE

Regular dental cleanings help keep your gums healthy and teeth cavity-free by gently removing tartar, plaque, calculus, stains, and irritants from your teeth and gum line. Polishing your teeth at the end of the cleaning removes stains and brightens your smile. Please let us know if you would like us to apply a topical anesthetic before your cleaning. Keep in mind that while twice-daily tooth brushing is essential, it does not take the place of twice-yearly cleanings at our office.
Our office recommends treating our younger patient’s teeth with the fluoride. Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent the formation of cavities.
Our dental hygienist carefully assesses the health of your teeth and mouth as part of your regular cleaning appointment.. Regularly scheduled X-rays allow us to detect cavities and other problems that are not visible to the eye.
For some patients, we recommend applying dental sealants onto the biting surfaces of the back teeth. Resin sealants fills the surfaces and help prevent food from lodging in crevices and cause decay. Sealants may need to be reapplied every few years especially on patients who are particularly susceptible to cavities because they do wear.
As part of your regular visit, our dental hygienist uses a UV light to check your mouth for signs of oral cancer or precancerous lesions. Cancers that are detected early have the best chance for successful treatment. Patients who smoke, use oral tobacco products, and/or are heavy drinkers are most at risk for oral cancers.
Regularly scheduled X-rays allow us to detect cavities and other problems that are not visible to the eye, and to follow the progress of your dental procedures. We display your X-rays on a screen so that we can discuss findings with you and compare current X-rays to previous ones.

RESTORATIVE

A filling patches a tooth that has been treated to remove decay. We carefully shape fillings to match your teeth and bite surface.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped replacement that goes over an existing tooth. We recommend crowns for certain broken teeth, as well as for teeth that are not intact or strong enough to support a filling without breaking. Your crown is carefully matched to the natural color of your existing teeth.
A bridge replaces a missing tooth or teeth by anchoring replacements to the adjacent teeth. The procedure to install a bridge is less invasive than placing a dental implant.
A dental implant can take the place of a natural tooth in appearance and function. The implant procedure involves removing the damaged tooth, stimulating bone growth, placing an implant root into the bone, and installing a crown. Replacement of multiple teeth may require a combination of implants and a bridge.

ESTHETIC

Whitening, also known as bleaching, brightens the color of your smile. Our office uses a combination of a specially formulated whitening agent and a laser light to enhance the whitening power. This system is more powerful and lasting than over-the-counter kits.
Bonding uses a tooth-colored resin material (a durable plastic material) to restore a discolored or decayed tooth. This material, called composite resin can not only repair the tooth but can improve its overall appearance.
Veneers are thin sheets of tooth-colored porcelain that restore a natural look to your smile. We prepare your teeth for veneers by removing a very thin layer of enamel, attaching the veneers to your teeth with a dental adhesive, and hardening the adhesive with a curing light. We carefully match veneers to your natural tooth color.
An inlay or onlay replaces part of the missing tooth. We recommend an inlay or onlay for teeth that do not yet need a crown to cover a large filling or broken area.
For those patients who want to correct minor crowding or spacing issues without going through complete orthodontic treatment we are proud to offer Invisalign therapy. Using a series of custom-made aligners we can straighten your teeth in a short period of time., These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth.

Post-Op Instructions

For those patients that have undergone and procedure in our office, you will be provided with post-op instructions by your doctor.
