Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Visit Eastland Dental Center for regular cleanings and examinations. In addition to checking your teeth, our dentists evaluate the health of soft tissues, and screen for oral cancers.
• X-rays
  The energy produced by an x-ray device is absorbed by dense tissue (teeth and bone), but passes through soft tissues (cheeks and gums). Most dental x-rays are intraoral – taken inside the mouth. Common types are...
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Nearly 50,000 men and women in the United States will be diagnosed with oral or oropharyngeal cancer this year. The five-year survival rate is 83 percent with early discovery. That figure drops to about 50 percent when oral cancer is detected in late stages. The dentists at Eastland Dental Center in Bloomington, IL utilize VELscope, an advanced oral cancer screening device, for enhanced visualization of abnormal oral tissues.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  We work with you to determine the best interval to come in to the dental office for teeth cleanings. The typical recalls are between three and six months. We review your at-home oral hygiene routine – you know you should brush at least twice each day and floss at least once each day, eat sensibly, don’t smoke, exercise, and get proper sleep.
• Fluoride Treatment
  Fluoride is a natural mineral, essential to good oral health. Before a baby’s teeth erupt, fluoride in foods, beverages, and supplements builds strong tooth enamel. Then, topical fluoride keeps enamel sturdy and works to reverse early tooth decay. You can get it from fluoride toothpaste, public water, and saliva. Sometimes, though, it isn’t enough. Our team at Eastland Dental Center in Bloomington, IL is here to help with fluoride treatments.
• Dental Sealants
  There is no substitute for the cavity-fighting effectiveness of good oral hygiene – brushing twice a day after eating and flossing once a day. These habits should be instilled early in children, and continued throughout life. Our team at Eastland Dental Center in Bloomington, IL provides additional assistance in preventing tooth decay, including sealants.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  The material for restorations we typically recommend is resin composite which is shaded to match tooth enamel. It contains powdered glass that adds luminescence. This material has evolved into a reliable choice for esthetic and long lasting dental fillings.
• Crowns
  Crowns help strengthen any tooth that may have a large cavity, start of a fracture, or a large old filling compromising the strength of the tooth.
• Bridges
  We ensure that the crowns and bridges we use are of the highest quality material to feel and look natural.
• Dental Bonding
• Restorative Dentistry
  Our practice offers a variety of services including preventive, general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry. We also provide services in child and adult dental orthopedics and orthodontics, airway, breathing, oral myofunctional therapy, posture, and sleep apnea. The oral-systemic or mouth-body connection is an essential part of how we practice to provide comprehensive care to our patients.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  As soon as a tooth starts to show any or multiple of these symptoms, please contact us right away. Delaying this can make the infection or condition worsen quickly. If the dentist determines you have an infection, antibiotics may be prescribed. In some cases, the abscess may be drained to reduce pain and swelling and speed healing. An infected tooth usually requires endodontic treatment ( root canal therapy ) or extraction.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  Eastland Dental Center offers Dental Implants, Periodontal – Deep Cleaning, Periodontics, Treatment of Sleep Apnea, Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment with Perio Protect, Salivary Diagnostics with OralDNA, Crowns, Bridges, Dentures, Teeth Whitening, Cosmetic Dentistry, Digital X-Rays and General Dentistry.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  For people with many missing teeth, quality dentures are so important for their own health and function, as well as for their appearance and self-confidence in their smile. Here at Eastland Dental Center, we take the time and effort to make a very high quality denture for our patients that is both functional and cosmetically pleasing. We don’t just do stock dentures or mill-type dentures, and our patients really appreciate that. We use the best labs and the highest quality materials for our dentures. It is important to get the right bite for patients, and we make every effort to be certain that our patients’ bite is correct and in line.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  "The Hygienist explained a potential new procedure that may help prevent further deterioration of a deep pocket that failed the original oral surgery cure."
• Gum Surgery
  Gum Surgery "The Dr. and staff was very good to work with. They explained what they were going to do to my gums. The day of surgery they got me in early and the surgery did not take as long as I expected. The Dr. called later that night to check how I was doing, which was very nice they care that much. I would definitely recommend the Drs at EASTLAND DENTAL CENTER."
• Tooth Extractions
  The injured nerve will not recover; tooth extraction or root canal therapy are the only ways to stop the pain
• Bone Grafting

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  In addition to beautifying your smile, orthodontics can reduce your risk of decay and gum disease. Crowding and crooked teeth create tight spaces that are difficult to clean. These areas are ideal breeding grounds for harmful bacteria. Straight, evenly-spaced teeth are easier to clean and less likely to trap plaque.
