Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Whether you need a routine dental exam, teeth whitening, implants, veneers, full mouth restorations, or anything in between – we have the state-of-the art technology and compassionate approach to make your results satisfying, and your experience comfortable.
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  A dental cleaning should be performed by a dentist or dental hygienist every six months in order to prevent excessive plaque buildup. A dental cleaning includes diagnostic x-rays, an oral cancer screening, gum disease evaluation, examination of tooth decay and existing restorations, as well as the actual cleaning. All of these steps allow us to get a good look at the overall health of your mouth in order to catch problems before they become a larger issue.
• Fluoride Treatment
  A fluoride treatment helps strengthen and protect your teeth against cavities. We recommend that children receive a professional application of fluoride twice a year.
• Dental Sealants
  Sealants help prevent cavities and tooth decay by closing narrow grooves in teeth that build up plaque. We apply a plastic material onto the tooth to fill the grooves and prevent build up. Children, teenagers, and adults can all benefit from dental sealants.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  The veneer process typically requires two visits. On the first visit, your teeth are prepared by taking an impression of your teeth, and determine the best color shade. On the second visit, your teeth are cleaned and bonded to the veneer.
• Crowns
  Crowns can replace missing teeth, or restore teeth that are damaged. A crown covers an entire damaged tooth. This strengthens the tooth while also enhancing the overall appearance.
• Bridges
  If you have a missing tooth, a bridge is a great way to fill the space. A bridge is an artificial tooth, or teeth, that are cemented into place using the real teeth on either side for support. A bridge replaces the missing tooth functionally and cosmetically.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Root Canal Therapy helps save a damaged tooth in order to avoid having it removed. This treatment is necessary when a cavity reaches all the way to the pulp at the center of the tooth, causing it to become infected.

Periodontics

• Periodontal Surgery
  Our office treats gum recession, which is often caused by gum disease, through localized antibiotic therapy, or scaling and root planing. In some cases, periodontal surgery is necessary.
• Deep Cleaning
  Periodontal disease is a gum disease that can lead to several other health issues if it is not treated properly. Periodontal treatment involves deep cleaning in order to contain an infection. We may also suggest specific toothpastes or mouth washes, or in some cases prescribe antibiotics.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  A denture replaces missing teeth. They resemble your natural teeth and in many cases improve their appearance. If one or more natural teeth are still in the mouth, a partial denture is used to replace any missing teeth. Dentures are removable and help restore your mouth’s overall function.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Our experienced and compassionate team strives to create beautiful smiles for our patients while also improving their dental and overall health. With a focus on comprehensive, cosmetic, and implant dentistry, we can enhance your smile while addressing all of your needs conveniently in one place.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Bone Grafting
  Bone grafting is a cutting-edge procedure that allows us to grow and graft bone in order to provide a strong foundation in your mouth that is needed for restorations. We will acquire bone from the jaw, hip, or knee – or from a tissue bank depending on the case.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  The absolute best dentists in Charleston!! I go to Howard & Howard Dental for my regular check ups and Dr. Jacqueline did an awesome job with my Invisalign experience! 10/10 would recommend any and everyone!!
• Braces
  Yes. Invisalign works very similar to traditional metal braces. They slowly straighten your teeth. The biggest difference is that they are virtually invisible and removable.

General
