Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  We arduously look for abnormalities when we do periodic examinations (check-ups). It is normal for soft tissue, cheek or tongue, to raise a welt if you accidentally bite it. Without other similar reasons, lumps and bumps inside the mouth are abnormal. Generally, anything that persists longer than two weeks without returning to normal should be considered abnormal and should be evaluated.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  As part of every check-up examination, we do a thorough intraoral cancer-screening exam. This involves visually examining all the accessible tissues inside the mouth, the tongue, the lips, and areas around the mouth. We also check for swellings, lumps, discolorations, and changes in lymph nodes. Any positive findings are referred for further diagnosis and treatment.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
• Dental Sealants
  Sealants are designed to fill in the back teeth’ deep grooves to prevent bacterial plaque from entering those susceptible grooves, protecting them from decay. Sealants are essentially a liquid resin painted into the grooves to “seal” them. Once hardened, these sealants often last a long time and protect the tooth from decay from that source.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Silver-mercury amalgam fillings have been around since the mid-19th century. There has never been a more controversial material so widely used. There are countries in the world that have banned its use.
• Veneers
  Indeed, our hygiene staff’s professional cleaning of your teeth is one of the most important cosmetic services we offer. So-called cosmetic services in dentistry may include replacing blackened old silver fillings, replacing missing teeth, straightening teeth, reshaping badly worn teeth, or malpositioned teeth with veneers or crowns. All are done here in our office.
• Crowns
  What to do? Several things can cause a tooth to be inflamed, including recent dental work, clenching, grinding teeth, gum recession, exposure of the root surface, a cavity, a failing filling or crown, biting on something hard, cracking, or a fracture in the tooth. These are some of the many possibilities for reasons for a cold or temperature-sensitive tooth.
• Bridges
• Dental Bonding
• Restorative Dentistry
  When talking about “dental work,” it is important to note that one of the greatest restorative dentistry barriers is the fear of pain. Not just the fear of the pain of the procedure, but the fear of the “needle.” There are several actions that we have taken in our office to alleviate this fear.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  When a tooth has been so damaged by decay or fracture that the vital “nerve” tissue has either died or become irreversibly painful, a “root canal” may be necessary to save a tooth that is still structurally sound enough to be useful. Root canals may, unfortunately, have something of a bad reputation. Not too many years ago, these tasks required multiple visits to the dentist or root canal specialist (endodontist) to be completed. Not infrequently, these treatments were associated with pain.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Prosthetic dentistry is the facet of dentistry that is involved with replacing missing teeth. “Prosthetics” may be removable, as with dentures and partial dentures. They may also be attached or fastened to existing teeth.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  An implant-supported complete denture or partial denture is when one or more implants are placed in the jaw that can hold up the denture and attach it in such a way as to hold it in place during its use.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  Dental implants have been around for many years. Techniques and materials have evolved over the years to be one of the most reliable ways to replace missing teeth. Minor oral surgery is needed to place the dental implant in the jaw.

Orthodontics

• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Just about everything we do in dentistry these days has an eye towards the cosmetic, smile-enhancing effects of our restorative dentistry. Whitening teeth bonded “composite” and ceramic restorations, clear braces like Invisalign and ClearCorrect, are all considered in enhancing your smile.
• Braces
  The 3D printing technology that has made clear braces possible has also made the “Snap-On-Smile” available for patients who may desire a quick cosmetic fix for missing or unsightly teeth. In effect, the SOS is intended to be a “temporary” cosmetic “fix.” Molds of your teeth are made, and a 3D printed “shell” is fashioned that is a thin, esthetic special plastic that fits over your existing teeth.
