| Our full-service office offers a variety of dental procedures
to help you achieve optimal dental health. Better yet, many
can be completed with just one or two appointments.
|
| Preventative
Dentistry: |
 |
|
|
| Preventative Dentistry is the foundation of
good overall health.
Most responsible car owners wouldn't dream
of driving more than 3,000 miles before changing
their oil. Yet most of us neglect our regular
dental hygiene check-ups!
Why are regular dental hygiene appointments
available to everyone? A dental hygienist
will conduct
a periodontal & gingival teeth cleaning
to remove odor- and decay-causing bacteria.
Your
hygienist will check for decay using x-rays
and a visual exam, and examine your gums for
disease.
Need more reasons?
Periodontal gun disease has been linked
to an increased risk of heart disease
and stroke,
diabetes,
respiratory disease and low birth-weight
babies.
Oral cancer becomes more common as
we age, particularly on the tongue,
inside
of cheeks
and lips. Your
hygienist checks for these conditions
every time you visit.
More than 400 medications can cause
dry mouth, which can lead to tooth
decay. |

|
|
| Cosmetic
Dentistry: |
|
|
|
| That tooth you chipped back in high school.
Medication that can darken your teeth. A smile
that's worn down after decades of biting, chewing,
grinding. Whatever the reason, cosmetic dentistry
can restore your smile to picture perfect! |
|
|
|
| Crowns
and Color-match Fillings |
|
|
|
| Who wants a "mouth full of metal?" Instead
of "silver" fillings, we will create
one that's an exact match to your natural teeth—and
virtually invisible. If instead, your tooth cannot
be restored with a filling and needs a crown,
which can be done in one appointment (see technology);
durable, long-wearing porcelain crowns let you
laugh and smile with confidence. |
|
|
|
| Teeth
Whitening |
|
|
|
| A smile is less than bright can diminish your
confidence and make you look older than you really
are. A variety of procedures (including Zoom
Whitening, see technology section), can give
you a movie star smile! |
|
|
|
|
| Root
Canals |
|
|
|
| Root Canals do not have to hurt! We will gently
and quickly deliver the needed care, restoring
the tooth to beautiful form and function. |
|
|
|
| Bridgework,
Partials and Dentures |
|
|
|
|
There's no reason you can't enjoy a beautiful,
natural smile just because you've lost a tooth
or two.
|
|
| TMJ
Treatment |
|
|
|
|
TMJ patients experience many symptoms, including:
- Facial pain
- Pain in the jaw joint and surrounding
tissues, including the ear
- Bite that feels uncomfortable, "off",
or as if it is continually changing,
limited ability to open the mouth comfortably
- Headaches
There's no reason to live with this painful,
debilitating condition. We can help. |
