Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Boise, ID dentist Dr. Russell Jensen helps patients manage periodontal disease flare-ups by performing routine dental exams and professional cleanings.
• X-rays
  You may also be asked to take a series of dental x-rays to determine whether you are experiencing bone loss at the sites of deeper pockets. Once the exam is complete, Dr. Jenson will discuss your diagnosis and the best course of treatment.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  But we know in our hearts that dental visits are good for us, so we go to our dental cleanings and exams faithfully. By the time we leave our appointment, we feel good about ourselves and probably enjoyed visiting with our friendly dentist and his staff, anyway. So we consent to do it again in six months.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  At Maple Grove Dentistry, Dr. Russell Jensen repairs cavities, and other dental damages, with composite resin fillings. This material is matched to natural tooth color so that your dental work won’t stand out from the rest of your smile. You shouldn’t have to endure tooth pain any longer. Let us restore your oral health and give you back the freedom to each whatever foods you please.
• Veneers
  Do you have a dazzling grin to flash at others, or does your smile suffer from chipped, stained, or misaligned teeth? If you want to make a great first impression, you need to invest in that smile and make it gorgeous. Dr. Russell Jensen, your gentle dentist in Boise, ID, offers porcelain veneers as a way to bring your tired, worn smile back to life, for a first impression that will blow people away. Porcelain veneers fit over the front surface of your visible teeth, correcting discolorations, chipped teeth, and mild misalignment.
• Crowns
  Panic attacks aside, having a broken or chipped tooth is bad for many reasons. It can detract from your confidence in your appearance and in your ability to bite and chew your food. It can also weaken the tooth and make it more vulnerable to decay and infection. Teeth suddenly breaking may feel like a serious catastrophe, but it’s actually very common for adults to sustain this type of damage. In many cases, the tooth can be restored with a dental crown. These tooth-shaped protective caps give you a durable artificial tooth that will harmonize with your smile and give you a reliable biting or chewing surface for years to come. Crowns are typically made of strong dental porcelain, metal, or porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM). Unlike your natural teeth, crowns do not stain like natural enamel, nor are they susceptible to cavities.
• Bridges
  This shifting can cause you to have an imbalanced bite, which in turn can lead to TMJ disorder or gum disease. If Dr. Jensen places a dental bridge before the teeth have a chance to rotate, he can prevent these problems and restore your smile to its original beauty.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Root canal therapy is a common dental procedure that can be performed to save an infected tooth and prevent the need for its removal. A tooth is kept alive by blood vessels found at the center of the tooth. These blood vessels, collectively with other tissues in the core called the pulp, can become damaged by trauma, deep decay, cracks, or multiple dental procedures.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Patients have several choices when it comes to implant-supported dentures. Patients can choose from partial dentures, complete dentures, and All-on-4® dentures. The doctor will generally use a partial denture if the patient still has some healthy teeth remaining in the arch. The restoration will have connectors that allow it to snap on and off of the implants, allowing for easy cleaning.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  At Maple Grove Dentistry, we work with a lot of patients who have lost one or more teeth. These patients may have lost their teeth due to advanced tooth decay, facial trauma or injury, or as a result of periodontal disease. In these cases, Dr. Russell Jensen recommends dental implants to our patients.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Flap Surgery
  Flap Surgery/pocket reduction surgery: this surgical procedure requires the gums to be cut and lifted back, exposing the tooth root to allow more efficient planning and scaling.
• Tooth Extractions
  If left untreated, a severely infected tooth could lead to a tooth extraction or cause your tooth to fall out. Missing teeth can lead to jaw recession, TMJ disorder, and dental misalignment. An infected tooth may also lead to blood-borne infection that causes whole-health issues.
• Bone Grafting
  Guided Tissue Regeneration: as an alternative to bone grafting, this procedure actually clears the way and allows your body to regrow some of the bone that was destroyed by bacteria. Ask your Dr. Jenson for more information on the differences between guided tissue regeneration and bone grafts.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  The advent of Invisalign treatment means that orthodontics are no longer just for teenagers. We treat many adults with Invisalign, including many who wore traditional braces as teens. Invisalign aligners work to repair many maladies, such as overbites, underbites, and crooked or rotated teeth.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  They work wonders for cases where the patient has wide spaces between her teeth, even if other teeth have shifted and moved into those spaces. Adults who suffer from malocclusion have found that Invisalign works wonders for their smiles.
• Braces
  Perhaps your teenager shows signs of overcrowding in her smile. Maybe you wore braces as a teenager yourself, only to find that all these years later, your teeth have fallen out of alignment again.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  Patients who wish to brighten their smiles have the option of an office treatment, a take-home whitening kit, or over the counter options.
• Cosmetic Dentistry
  Dr. Jensen graduated from University of Nevada Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine where he received training in all aspects of general dentistry including tooth-colored restorations, crowns and veneers, infection and disease control, and tooth replacement. He sought out additional training in performing root canals, implants and cosmetic dentistry beyond the requirements for graduation. Following graduation, Dr. Jensen practiced in Great Falls, Montana where he treated many of the underserved in the area.
