Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  The best way to prevent gum disease is effective daily brushing and flossing as well as regular professional examinations and cleanings. Unfortunately, even with the most diligent home dental care, people still can develop some form of periodontal disease. Once this disease starts, professional intervention is necessary to prevent its progress.
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening
  We use Velscope, this enhanced exam that may save your life. Velscope helps us identify oral cancer in the early stages when it is still easy to treat.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  On your first visit a comprehensive examination along with a series of digital x-rays, photographs and a digital Wellness Scan will be done. This will help determine what kind of cleaning you will need to get you started on the road to good oral health. Occasionally, your routine dental cleaning may be performed the same day as the consultation provided an appointment is made with one of our hygienists. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to discuss treatment on another day.
• Dental Sealants
  Highly effective in preventing decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth, dental sealants are a simple procedure in which a tooth-colored acrylic “coating” is painted onto the surface of the tooth. This effectively “seals” the deep grooves, acting as a barrier and protecting enamel from plaque and acids.

Restorative

• Resin Composite
  Fillings are used to repair a hole in a tooth caused by decay. We use only state-of-the-art, composite resin materials to replace silver fillings.
• Veneers
  Bonding is an alternative to veneers, and can be used as a restorative procedure for teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored or misarranged.
• Crowns
  CEREC stands for CEramic REConstruction. It is a ceramic dental restoration product that allows your dentist to restore your tooth in one appointment. Cerec uses the most advanced dental technology, including 3D imaging and CAD/CAM technology to create the crown. In layman’s terms, it is a computer-designed restoration for your tooth. The whole procedure takes between 1-3 hours and can be completed in one sitting.
• Bridges
  Using precise electro-machining, the removable Spark Erosion fixed bridge is held in place with the aid of two swivel latch attachments. This unique and proven design combines the benefits of a fixed bridge restoration with the advantages of a removable prosthesis, including easy hygiene access and proper design for lip support and phonetics. Compatible with all implant systems, Spark Erosion is the ideal solution for treatment of the edentulous maxillae and mandible, and for partially edentulous trauma cases.
• Dental Bonding

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Although many discolored teeth cause no pain, when a tooth starts to appear dark, it is an indication that a root canal is necessary.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  A bridge is a fixed replacement for a missing tooth or teeth. It’s made by taking a digital impression of the surrounding teeth, which will eventually support the bridge. A bridge is usually created from solid Zirconia and will be fixed in your mouth (unlike dentures, which can be removed).
• Overdentures
  When a situation calls for an overdenture bar, the Locator bar attachment’s patented pivoting technology provides for pivotal resilience, self-aligning features, superb retention and exceptional durability, all in a low profile design.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Upper dental implants do not require a palate and you will be able to better taste and enjoy your food

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Gum Surgery
  If you have a stubborn case of gum disease, we may recommend a dental procedure called dental scaling to keep it from getting worse. Dental scaling is the most common non-surgical way to treat gum disease, which is also known as periodontitis. This will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and help your gums regain health. But if you have severe periodontal disease and your condition may require gum surgery, we may then refer you to a Periodontist. (Gum specialist)
