Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Mouth cancer is a serious disorder that can arise from a variety of factors, and can swiftly escalate into a life-threatening situation. Regular dental examinations are necessary, and allows the dentist to be able to diagnose life-threatening illnesses and recommend treatment options. Early identification of oral cancer makes treatment easier and increases recovery possibilities.
• X-rays
  Allows doctors to see a broad view of the entire structure of the mouth, including the jaw, in a single image. Within one large film, panoramic X-rays reveal all of the upper and lower teeth and parts of the jaw, and provide information used for extracting wisdom teeth, and can reveal abnormal growths or cysts in the jaw bone.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  While talking to your dentist, shopping for toothpaste, or even watching a tv commercial you cannot avoid hearing about the importance of tooth enamel. Enamel coats your teeth, making them strong and durable. Your tooth enamel makes your teeth able to withstand wear and tear for many years. Tooth enamel is very important which is why you should protect it. Going to regular dental cleaning appointment s allows for your dentist and hygienist to remove plaque and tartar.
• Fluoride Treatment
  A dentist may recommend alternative treatment options, such as dental sealants and fluoride treatments, in addition to regular oral hygiene and expert cleanings
• Dental Sealants
  If you have a history of cavities, you should talk to your dentist about dental sealants. A sealant is a thin covering that is put to the backs of your teeth to help prevent cavities for two to four years.
• Space Maintainers
  An appliance used to maintain a space in the mouth. A space maintainer is typically used due to the premature loss one of a baby tooth to retain the space of the tooth that was lost until a permanent tooth erupts.

Restorative

• Fillings
  A porcelain, resin, or gold filling that protects a tooth by replacing all or part of the chewing surface and one or more sides of a tooth.
• Resin Composite
  Dental veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that are attached to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They’re often made from porcelain or resin-composite materials and are permanently bonded to your teeth.
• Veneers
  Some people may only get one veneer in the case of a broken or chipped tooth, but many get between six to eight veneers in order to create an even, symmetrical smile. The top front eight teeth are the most commonly applied veneers.
• Crowns
  The tooth that’s receiving the crown will be filed down across the top and sides. The amount of tooth that gets filed away depends on the type of crown you have.
• Bridges
  A dental bridge is one of the greatest non-invasive solutions to replace a single tooth or many missing teeth, if you have one or more missing teeth. However, you should see your dentist to have your mouth evaluated to determine which type of dental bridge you should use to replace your missing tooth.
• Dental Bonding
  Thin, tooth-colored shells called dental veneers are bonded to the front of your tooth or teeth. The shells can be constructed of composite bonding but are frequently composed of resilient porcelain material.

Endodontics

• Pulpotomy
• Root Canal Treatment
  Root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of removing it. The term "root canal" comes from cleaning of the canals inside a tooth's root.
• Apicoectomy

Periodontics

• Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
  The reshaping of gum contours, often for esthetic purposes. Generally very easy and non-painful, it is often a good solution for a “gummy smile.”
• Deep Cleaning
  Treatment for gingivitis is usually highly expensive, and it may include surgical treatments, drugs, and extensive deep cleaning. You should see your dentist on a regular basis to avoid gingivitis.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Partial dentures are used to replace missing teeth when the majority of your natural teeth are still present. Even though dentures can help restore your smile, they can take some time to adjust to, particularly when it comes to eating.
• Overdentures

• Invisalign Orthodontics
  If you're reading this, you're probably thinking about getting Invisalign treatment. This article will tell you all you need to know about clear aligners and how they work.
• Braces
  We get asked this a lot. Think of it this way, if the food can affect your teeth then it will affect your clear aligners. Your aligners aren’t made out of steel. It’s not a Tony Stark super suit. When you have your aligners in you should avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods. It’s kind of the same as if you had traditional wire braces, but if you don’t want to damage your aligners you can always take them out when you’re eating. Just make sure you don’t hide them in a napkin, because you might accidentally throw them out and we don’t want you dumpster diving for your aligners.
