When you visit our dentist, we take a proactive approach to your care. Instead of waiting for a problem to arise, looking for signs that something is wrong, and then fixing the problem, your dentist identifies problems while they are small. This allows them to fix things quickly and easily. As a result, you are more comfortable, and the cost of your care is much lower.
Dental restoration
There are a number of ways to restore your tooth’s function, appearance, and health. A dental crown is a common restoration that may be recommended if you are missing one or more teeth. It is a tooth-shaped restoration that is designed to cover your tooth above the gum line in order to restore its size, shape, strength, and appearance.
A dental bridge may be recommended as a tooth replacement option if you are missing two or more adjacent teeth. A dental bridge is a restoration that is designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It is permanently attached to the teeth on either side of the missing tooth.
Endodontics
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the tooth pulp. Endodontists use a root-end resection procedure to treat root canal infections. This involves thoroughly numbing the tooth, lifting the gums, and removing the infected pulp. The dentist will then clean, disinfect, and fill the tooth. Call us to learn more.
Orthodontics
Some orthodontic problems can be inherited, so if one of your parents wore braces, you’re more likely to need braces, too. Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, so scheduling an orthodontic consultation with your dentist is the first step toward finding your best smile.
Preventive dentistry
Preventive dentistry focuses on keeping patients’ teeth and gums healthy. This involves scheduling regular dental cleanings and exams. If a patient is at risk for a cavity, we can apply dental sealants and fluoride treatments, and the patient can brush and floss regularly.
Emergency dentistry
During an emergency appointment, our dentist will do everything possible to restore your smile with same-day treatment. Call our office right away for an emergency appointment.
Sedation dentistry
Modern dentistry offers a variety of sedation techniques for your comfort. Oral sedation is a type of sedation that is administered orally. It’s usually in the form of an anti-anxiety pill. Oral sedatives work quickly but wear off quicker than other forms of sedation. They typically last 4-8 hours.
