- Dental ExaminationWhen you first come to our dental office, you’ll be greeted by our awesome front desk team! They will check you in and have you fill out our new patient forms if you haven’t done so already. We’ll take your insurance information so that we can file any claim on your behalf. When we call you back to our treatment, we’ll likely take digital X-rays of your teeth. Then, Dr. Don will take a little bit of time to get to know you personally before performing a comprehensive oral exam. If we find anything worth noting, we will discuss the issue and your treatment options.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningAt Sloan & Sloan, our mission is to provide dental services that not only help you maintain positive oral health for all members of your family but do so with a conscience in mind. It doesn’t matter if you need a checkup, cleaning, oral cancer screening, or evaluation for bruxism, your needs are going to be unique to you.
- Teeth CleaningWhether your dental needs are a complete exam and cleaning, a full-mouth restoration, or anything in between, we promise to provide you with exceptional care as we enhance the natural beauty of your smile. Below are just some of the many procedures and services we regularly provide to our patients – with a gentle touch, and stunning results. Your smile is our first priority, and we’ll give you something to smile about.
- Fluoride TreatmentFluoride is a common mineral found in the foods we eat, our drinking water, and of course our oral care products like toothpaste and mouth wash. As part of your routine cleaning, we’ll make sure to also perform a routine fluoride application afterward. This treatment not only protects teeth following your cleaning but strengthens tooth enamel and prevents the development of future cavities. It’s especially pertinent for children to receive this treatment as they are generally at higher risk of tooth decay than other groups.
- FillingsUnlike traditional silver amalgam dental fillings, tooth-colored fillings do not require metal materials to restore teeth. Obviously this is better when it comes to aesthetic purposes, it’s also ideal for patients who worry or have sensitive teeth, which is common with silver amalgam fillings. This is because tooth-colored fillings use composite resin, without sacrificing durability in the process. After getting rid of the decay and we mold the resin inside of your tooth, and cure it instantly, leaving you with a fully restored smile.
- Resin Composite
- VeneersMany people want a Hollywood smile, and most of the time this is done by using porcelain veneers. Veneers are thin sheaths that are bonded to natural teeth that hide discoloration, cracks, and gaps. Most of the time these are used on anterior teeth to transform your smile! Call today to see how Sloan & Sloan can turn your smile into one that you will love!
- CrownsInlays and onlays are considered to be closer to dental crowns than fillings. However, they are not quite as extensive or expensive. Inlays are designed to restore deeper portions of teeth inside the actual crown, while onlays work to replace a wide portion that covers more surface area without covering the entire crown itself. These restorations are made from durable, materials to ensure natural esthetics and long-term functionality. Dr. Don Sloan will help you determine the best option for your treatment.
- BridgesTo replace one or more teeth side by side, we can create a dental bridge that sits on top of existing teeth in order to fill the gap in your smile. Dental bridges consist of several crowns that are fused together, with a dental crown on either side hollowed out for effective anchorage. Keep in mind that a small amount of tooth enamel needs to be removed in order for the restoration to be properly stabilized.
- Dental BondingDental bonding and tooth-colored fillings can be used cosmetically to repair cracked and chipped teeth. Sometimes, small gaps can be closed by using composite filling material.
- Restorative DentistryOur bodies often start repairing after injuries, well every part except our teeth. Damaged and decayed teeth cannot heal themselves. Without restoring them your tooth will continue to breakdown leading to more costly dental procedures. The sooner you have your tooth fixed with a dental filling, crown, onlay, or inlay, the sooner you will have peace of mind. Sloan & Sloan offers all of these solutions for restorative dentistry in Broadway, Harnett County, Sanford, and surrounding areas, so don’t wait to get your smile restored!
- Root Canal TreatmentIf your cavity is severe or your current fillings take up more than two-thirds of your overall tooth, a dental crown is the best option. Crowns are designed to prevent further damage to your natural tooth, seal your damaged tooth, and make your complete your smile. Crowns also prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into the open space created as a result of your damaged tooth. Most of the time if you need a root canal, or have already had a root canal a crown will be required to preserve the remains tooth and to ensure that bacteria does not reinfect.
- DenturesDo you have multiple missing teeth on opposite sides of your mouth or maybe you are missing all of your teeth in a single arch? Full and partial dentures can provide a quick, affordable, and effective solution. Full dentures are customized to fit your mouth exactly as well as rely on natural suction and bone to stay in place. Partial dentures use of metal or acrylic hooks that wrap around existing teeth in order to stay in place.
- Dental ImplantsMissing just one tooth can make a big difference in your everyday life. For one, chewing food becomes more difficult as your biting force weakens with every tooth you lose. Furthermore, the risk for tooth loss only increases with every tooth that leaves your jaw. The good news is Sloan & Sloan Dentistry has multiple solutions to get your smile back on track.
