Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Gum disease or periodontal disease is the most common disease that affects many adults in the U.S. If left untreated or ignored gum disease can become a sever issue. Periodontal diseases is seen most commonly as simple gum inflammation but can become a serious disease that results in major damage to the soft tissue and bone that support your teeth. In the worst cases scenarios, teeth are lost. It is recommended to see a dentist every six months for regular cleaning and examination to prevent tooth loss, tooth pain and other issues related to oral diseases.
• X-rays
  Pictures of the teeth, bones, and soft tissues around them to help find problems with the teeth, mouth, and jaw. X-ray pictures can show cavities, hidden dental structures (such as wisdom teeth), and bone loss that cannot be seen during a visual examination. Dental X-rays may also be done as follow-up after dental treatments.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Oral cancer screenings are a very important part of your dental visit with Dr. Falona Glenn and Dr Gerald Glenn. With the proper technology we can pinpoint the start of potential problems much earlier in its evolution. Not all problems are reversible. However, you have a much better chance to reverse issues before the problem has had time to progress if we can catch the issue early on.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  The best way to keep your smile bright and healthy is to brush twice daily and make sure you see your dentist 2 times a year for regular check ups and to get your teeth cleaned. Having your teeth cleaned helps to remove hard plaque on your teeth and leave you with a fresh clean feel in your mouth. Your dentist can also tell you what you may what to focus on, like to floss more. Regular check ups and teeth cleaning can also help prevent gum diseases. The Glenn Smile Center in Aurora Colorado can take care of cleaning your teeth, normal check ups and much much more.
• Dental Sealants
  The procedure begins with sedation or the tooth is numbed with a local anesthetic. The dentist or endodontist will then drill down into the tooth to create an opening into the canal. The infected tissue can be removed and the canal cleaned. After the infection has been removed, the space if filled with a sealant called gutta percha. The last step is to fit the tooth that has had a root canal with a fitted crown. This will improve the appearance of the tooth, and will also make it much more likely that the root canal is remains successful.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Bonding is an obvious improvement over unsightly silver amalgam fillings. With the advancements in dental technology, bonding usually lasts for over 10 years. It is a safe, affordable, and attractive solution for many dental problems.
• Resin Composite
  A composite resin is used on the affected tooth or teeth. It is molded and sculpted over an adhesive gel that is placed on the tooth. After the resin has been applied an, LED light is used to harden the resin, which is then polished to give you a fresh, new smile.
• Veneers
  Veneers are very thin ceramic shells that cover an existing tooth structure. Veneers are an excellent way to redesign and reshape your entire mouth giving you more beautiful smile.  Some of the issues veneers can cover are things like...
• Crowns
  You may have noticed over time our teeth begin to weaken and become susceptible to problems such as decay, crack and, discoloration. If you feel your smile isn’t what it once was, crowns can help you recover your smile. If your dentist notices that a tooth is decayed or seems weakened/cracked a crown may be necessary to make sure that there are no additional problems with the tooth. In cases like this a filling or bonding will not be sufficient. At Glenn Smile Center in Aurora Colorado we can help you with your crown needs.
• Bridges
  Dental bridges are one way to replace missing teeth. Your existing teeth are used to literally create a bridge to cross the area where your tooth is missing. Bridges are made from gold, metal, alloys, or porcelain and are very strong and durable.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Root canals are the most common procedure in dental industry and the most common procedure relating to endodontics. When the dental pulp of a tooth becomes infected it becomes necessary to remove the infection in order to save the tooth and prevent further problems. If left untreated an infection can turn into an abscess, which is a much more serious problem that includes bone loss in the jaw.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  Treatments of gum disease include deep cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing), medications or surgical treatment. Some surgical treatments involve flap surgery or bone and tissue grafting.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Dentures are a replacement for missing teeth that can be removed and put back into your mouth as easily as you please. Patients have the option for full or partial dentures depending on individual cases. Full dentures are used when all of the natural teeth are removed from the mouth and replaced with a full set of dentures.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Dental implants or Tooth implants are a permanent and aesthetically appealing solution to replace missing or extracted teeth. Because your other teeth are unaffected by implants, they are often a better solution than other alternatives like bridges.
