Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Bad breath caused by bacteria in the mouth can easily be treated. Brushing your teeth, tongue and gums after meals as well as flossing and rinsing with mouthwash will usually take care of the problem. Regular visits to the dentist should be made for dental examinations and for professional teeth and gum cleaning.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Many people avoid dental cleanings, mistakenly thinking they aren’t necessary. Others just don’t like going to the dentist, so they put it off. Here are some important questions and answers for dental cleanings.
• Dental Sealants
  Further preventive measures can be taken with dental sealants. Sealants are a simple, painless treatment to fill in narrow grooves in a tooth that cannot be properly cleaned by brushing.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Gold fillings are custom made in a laboratory and then cemented into place. While gold fillings are often the most expensive choice, many consider it the best filling material. Gold inlays are well-tolerated by gum tissues and may last more than 20 years.
• Resin Composite
  The direct technique usually involves placing composite resin on the outside of the tooth using bonding. This method is usually referred to as bonding.
• Veneers
  Veneers are a dental procedure in which a covering is placed over the outside (visible area) of the tooth. Veneers are usually only done to the part of the teeth that are visible when talking or smiling. The procedure can be direct or indirect.
• Crowns
  Are you too busy for two dental visits? New Concepts Dentistry will quickly restore damaged teeth in one visit with natural-looking ceramic crowns.
• Bridges
  Crowns and bridges are used to restore and enhance teeth that are damaged, or to take the place of missing teeth. A crown, also referred to as a cap, is used to entirely cover a damaged tooth. A crown not only strengthens a tooth, but it can dramatically improve a tooth’s appearance, shape and alignment.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Root canal treatment (also referred to as root canal therapy or endodontic therapy) is made necessary when a cavity is allowed, through neglect, to reach all the way to this pulp. (Regular cleanings and checkups prevent and detect problems early) Sometimes deep restorations or trauma to a tooth may cause the nerve to be damaged to the point it needs root canal therapy, also. Once this occurs the pulp becomes infected, and can even extend through the root tip and begin to eat away at the surrounding bone (this is an abscess). By the time the pulp is infected it must be treated, and cannot heal on its own. It can even weaken the entire immune system. This is dangerous, not to mention very painful. Symptoms that the pulp has become infected may include sensitivity to hot/cold or sweets, pain, swelling, pain to biting or pressure, and a bad taste in the mouth.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  If you’re having a problem, come in and see us so we may treat it right away. The treatment usually involves a deep cleaning or root planing done under a local anesthetic, along with local antibiotic agents. If the gum disease gets too severe it may need to be treated through surgery or extraction. This is why it is important to have it treated at the first sign of a problem.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. There are two types of dentures available, including partial and complete dentures. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, while complete dentures are used to completely replace all teeth. Dentures are made to resemble your natural teeth so there should be no noticeable change to your appearance. In fact, dentures may even improve your smile!

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Dr. Wyson has completed extensive specialized training in implant dentistry, and has helped many patients enjoy the benefits of this leading approach to tooth replacement.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Tooth Extractions
  Good oral hygiene should always be practiced since the loss of a single tooth can have major impact upon your oral health and appearance. Although dentists will use every measure to prevent tooth loss, there are still necessary occasions when a tooth may need to be extracted. A tooth may need to be extracted if the following occurs...
• Bone Grafting
  This patient came into the office with only 6 anterior teeth in her upper jaw. She was sent to a specialist for bone grafting and implants in the posterior. I then made and placed bridges on the implants on the upper right and left sides, and I removed the old crowns and placed new more natural looking crowns on the 6 front teeth.
