- Regular cleanings and checkups – These appointments allow us to remove any plaque or tartar build-up and check for any potential issues such as cavities or gum disease. By keeping up with regular cleanings and checkups, our patients can maintain healthy teeth and gums and avoid more serious dental problems.
- Pediatric dentistry – We offer a wide range of services for children, including cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants. Our friendly and patient staff members are skilled at working with children and ensuring they feel comfortable during their appointments.
- TMJ treatment – We offer treatment for teeth clenching and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders. These conditions can cause discomfort and pain, but our team is skilled at identifying and addressing these issues. We use a multifaceted approach that may include stress relief measures, massage, lifestyle and habit changes, as well as medications, night guards, bite adjustments and other therapies to help our patients find relief.
- Crowns – A crown is placed when a tooth needs a large portion, or the entire outer surface replaced due to extensive tooth decay, cracks, or severe wear from tooth grinding. It can help restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and function. Crowns are frequently chosen as a way to protect compromised teeth from further damage. When a large portion of a tooth is missing from a cavity or fracture, crowns are the most stable, long-lasting way to restore the tooth. Crowns are also attached to dental implants to replace missing teeth.
- Sealants – Dental sealants are a popular service we offer as a preventive measure to help protect teeth from cavities. Sealants are thin, plastic coatings applied to the grooves on the surface of the teeth, creating a barrier that prevents bacteria and food particles from getting trapped and causing cavities.
- Fillings – We use the latest materials to fill cavities, ensuring that the filling is solid and durable. Cosmetic fillings are also available for patients who want to improve the appearance of their teeth.
- Bridges – A dental bridge can replace missing teeth. It is usually made of crowns placed on the other side of the missing tooth that are attached to support a pontic, or false tooth. Bridges are a solution for patients struggling with tooth decay, gum disease, injury, and congenital conditions. Bridges can help prevent chewing and bite problems, pain and discomfort, and self-consciousness about one’s smile.
- Implants – Tooth loss can lead to bone loss, speech problems, and chewing issues, significantly impacting your quality of life and causing discomfort. Lost teeth can be replaced with dental implants, improving overall health and oral hygiene. An implant consists of a titanium tooth root inserted into the jawbone and an abutment that supports artificial teeth.
