Periodontal Therapy

Periodontics, a dental field, centers on gum and sinus health. Periodontal disease affects gums and tooth-supporting bone. Maintain gum health by brushing twice daily, flossing, and biannual dental checkups. These practices prevent issues and contribute to overall oral well-being.

Some patients may require a more extensive treatment plan, with more frequent hygiene appointments, or surgical intervention to treat periodontal disease. Your dentist may perform a procedure to fold back the gum tissue, clean out the pockets and remove all the disease causing bacteria and then secure the tissue back into place, creating a tight seal, eliminating the pocket so that no bacteria can enter and the tissue around the tooth affected can heal.

Dental Hygiene

You can keep your smile healthy by doing your part with your daily home care of brushing and flossing, but only your dental hygienist can clean below the gum line. Twice a year, your hygienist will scale beneath the gum line to remove plaque, tartar, and other harmful bacterial toxins from periodontal pockets. They will also use root planing to smooth the tooth root to prevent future plaque or toxins from building up and sticking to the root to cause periodontal disease to develop.

Porcelain Veneer Laminates

Transform your smile with porcelain veneers – a fast solution for straighter, whiter teeth. These durable, semi-transparent shells last for years, addressing issues like broken teeth and stains. Crafted from natural-looking porcelain, they resist stains, providing a lasting solution. During your appointment, we take impressions to create custom veneers matching your natural teeth shade, enhancing your smile’s aesthetic.

Dental Bonding

Opt for a common restorative treatment to conceal defects and other imperfections. This procedure, taking 30-60 minutes, corrects tooth gaps, covers discolorations, and repairs chipped/cracked teeth. We carefully choose a resin shade matching your teeth, bonding it in layers and sculpting it into shape. Hardened with a high-intensity light, the result is a strong, natural-looking restoration with a polished finish.

Composite Fillings

Opt for discreet composite fillings over noticeable metal ones to replace, straighten, and restore teeth. The strong composite resin adheres directly to your teeth, ensuring stability and durability. With natural-looking results and minimal preparation, the procedure is completed in a single visit, reducing the risk of tooth fractures compared to metal fillings.

Dental Bridges

Choose dental bridges for a stable and quality tooth replacement option. Superior to dentures, they use neighboring teeth for support to fill gaps left by missing teeth. After ensuring you’re a suitable candidate, we clean, shape, and polish adjacent teeth for a proper fit. The result is a natural look, with the bridge matching your teeth’s shade seamlessly.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns restore damaged teeth, providing strength and a natural appearance. Crafted from durable materials matching your teeth’s shade, this two-step office procedure ensures a long-lasting solution for issues like damage, staining, or decay. Our team guides you to the best-suited crown type for your specific needs.

Full & Partial Dentures

Choose from complete or partial dentures based on your needs. Complete dentures replace all teeth in an arch, while partial dentures work when some teeth are present. Whether due to decay, cavities, or accidents, dentures restore normal eating and speaking abilities. They can be fixed or removable, with complete dentures featuring an acrylic base mimicking gum tissue for stability and comfort.

Extractions & Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Extract teeth causing pain or discomfort, especially due to infection. Timely removal prevents infection spread to nearby gums and teeth, despite regular brushing and flossing. Regular dentist visits for preventative care are crucial, as untreated infections may lead to eventual tooth loss.

When it comes to wisdom teeth we carefully monitor them as they come in, checking for signs of swelling or impacting. Impacted teeth can crowd the teeth already in your jaw, pushing them forward and disrupting alignment. Wisdom teeth can also cause more serious health issues such as decay and the development of cysts. Wisdom teeth are removed to prevent future dental complications. It is typically recommended to have your wisdom teeth removed at a younger age before your teeth are completely grown in and attached to the jaw. However, there is no age limit on wisdom teeth removal.

Root Canal Therapy

Preserve damaged or infected teeth with root canal therapy, a method that extends their life for years, preventing extraction. Dental pulp, essential for teeth, carries oxygen through nerves and blood vessels but can become infected for many reasons, like illness, decay, or trauma. Root canal therapy addresses this issue, maintaining the health and longevity of your teeth. In our office, we are able to treat complex root canals through crowns, bridges and retreatments as well.

Bruxism

Bruxism is a condition where a person grinds, clenches, or gnashes his or her teeth; it can occur when awake or asleep. Children as well as adults can have this condition. You may notice tenderness in your jaw and joint muscles, or sores in your mouth. Your dentist will see the signs in the wear and break down of your teeth. It can also cause sleep issues and lead to feeling’s of exhaustion and low energy.
