Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  The most common disease in the United States is not what you may think. Heart disease, diabetes, or cancer might come to mind, but actually, gum disease is the single most prevalent disease in America. In fact, it affects more people than heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and cancer combined! About 80% of the adult population in the U.S. currently has some form of gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. Should you notice any swelling or bleeding around your gums before your next preventive dental exam, call us to schedule an appointment for gum disease treatment in our Chaska, MN dental office.
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Oral cancer is an often-fatal disease, but it is extremely treatable when detected early. This is why oncologists around the globe recommend that everyone should have at least one oral cancer screening per year. Your dentist can perform one as part of your regular checkup, during which they’ll examine your lips, gums, tongue, cheeks, throat, neck, and face for any strange sores, lesions, or growths. Should they find anything that causes concern, they can help you take quick and appropriate action.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Professional dental cleanings are an important component of any good preventive healthcare routine. The Chaska Dental Center team is here to provide you and each member of your family with a dental cleaning that will leave your teeth healthy and bright and your mouth feeling refreshed. With dental cleanings, Chaska, MN residents and our neighbors from nearby communities can be certain their oral health will stay on track. Contact us today to learn more.
• Fluoride Treatment
  Everyone over the age of three should visit the dentist for a professional hygiene appointment twice per year. At these visits, one of our dental hygienists will clean and polish your teeth using a special rotary brush and fluoride toothpaste in the flavor of your choice. And just as you do at home, the hygienist will floss in between your teeth to remove plaque. A fluoride treatment may also be recommended if your teeth are susceptible to decay or are sensitive. These treatments are particularly helpful for children whose molars are deeply grooved and may be more difficult to keep clear of food particles that attract decay-causing bacteria.
• Dental Sealants
  Since previous examination methods of decay detection were inconclusive or subjective, many teeth with small, undetected areas of decay had sealants placed on them. Upon examination and evaluation, sealants may be placed on a case-by-case basis.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Whenever one of your teeth has become damaged due to decay or injury, the structure needs to be repaired to restore it both functionally and aesthetically. Previously, this would call for an amalgam filling. It did a decent job of restoring your tooth, but it dramatically affected the look of your smile. Plus, over time, amalgam fillings can actually leave a tooth in a weakened state. Whenever we repair one of your teeth at Chaska Dental Center, we want it not only to be strong and reliable but beautiful as well! This is why we always recommend tooth-colored fillings at our Chaska, MN dental office, so contact us today.
• Resin Composite
  At Chaska Dental Center, we do not use amalgam in restorative and cosmetic dental care, and we haven’t since 1997. We practice amalgam-free dentistry, which means we use tooth-colored fillings instead. This method uses white composite resin to restore teeth following decay. The composite resin is a biocompatible material made up of a mixture of smooth plastic and glass particles.
• Veneers
  Veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the entire world, and the reason for that is simple: they’re able to fix and eliminate a variety of smile imperfections with just one simple procedure. With them, our team can quickly remove stains, close gaps, fix chips and cracks, and even straighten slightly rotated teeth. Veneers provide a more permanent solution. In either case, a beautiful smile is always the result!
• Crowns
  CEREC® stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic. The system uses advanced computer technology to design and fabricate custom restorations specific to each patient’s individual needs. Fast, safe, and comfortable, CEREC® has revolutionized the way crowns are created.
• Bridges

If you’ve ever had these thoughts, Dr. Aaron Swingdorf can give you your teeth back and make your smile look even better than before. The next conversation you have can start the right way, and that’s with confidence, so call us today to schedule an appointment to discuss tooth replacement with fixed bridges in Chaska, MN.

• Restorative Dentistry

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  If you experience severe dental pain, you may need root canal treatment. Despite a negative reputation, root canal therapy is truthfully not a traumatic or painful procedure. Dr. Swingdorf regularly perform this safe, conservative treatment to preserve internally damaged teeth and save them from extraction. Modern root canal treatment at our Chaska, MN dental office is a surprisingly comfortable procedure and one that can literally save your smile, so give us a call today.

Periodontics

• Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
  For dental patients who have excessive gum tissue, the teeth can often appear stubby. What you may not know, however, is that beneath that overgrown soft tissue, your teeth are just waiting to be revealed! If you have a gummy smile, we may recommend a gum lift, otherwise known as a gingivectomy. Contact our team to find out if you are a candidate for gum lifts in Chaska, MN.
• Deep Cleaning
  If we find cause for concern, we may recommend that you change your oral healthcare routine or the products you use at home. We may also suggest periodontal therapy, better known as deep cleaning, which is different than a standard dental cleaning. During a deep cleaning, the hygienist concentrates on removing plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of your teeth, specifically under the gumline. If allowed to accumulate, the bacteria in plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) can begin to infect and destroy the gum tissue and supporting bone tissue underneath. As this destruction progresses, it can bring on symptoms including swollen and bleeding gums, enlarged gum pockets around your teeth, receding gums, loosening teeth, and ultimately, tooth loss.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  A smile marred by multiple missing teeth or an entire arch can cause many problems for a person. In addition to making them feel extremely self-conscious, it can also have a drastic impact on their oral health. Often, if any remaining teeth exist, they will shift into the open spaces, causing them to crowd and appear crooked. Plus, the exposed gum tissue is much more likely to become infected, and this can lead to even more lost teeth. Fortunately, the team at Chaska Dental Center has a solution that not only gives someone their complete smile back but protects their oral health as well: full and partial dentures. Call us today to find out how you can get started.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  With proper care and maintenance, dental implants are capable of lasting decades. But it’s also important that these tooth replacement devices are set on a firm foundation. When learning your jawbone is too weak to successfully support your dental implants, you may feel defeated, but there is good news. At Chaska Dental Center, Dr. Swingdorf can perform advanced dental implant procedures in Chaska, MN that will create a denser, more stable jawbone, ensuring your dental implants remain firmly in place for years to come.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  Laser light is extremely efficient, producing very little heat as it acts on its target. This makes it ideal for oral surgery since it seldom affects tissues other than those it targets. The laser provides precise control over the depth and extent of any cutting while simultaneously minimizing bleeding and sterilizing the treatment area. Currently, we use it for gum disease treatments, gum recontouring, incision cauterizing and tissue fusion, lesion reparation, and biopsies.
• Tooth Extractions
  Your natural smile is irreplaceable. Even as amazingly lifelike as modern dental restorations have become, nothing beats what your natural teeth are capable of. That is why our dentistry team at Chaska Dental Center works so hard to ensure your smile’s longevity through effective, conservative restorative and emergency dentistry treatments. However, if the need ever arises, our experienced dental team can also extract a tooth in order to save the rest of them. Have you put off getting a tooth extracted? Contact us to schedule your consultation today to discuss tooth extractions in Chaska, MN!
• Bone Grafting
  However, if your jawbone is not strong enough to hold up the implants, they will ultimately fail. Naturally, during the consultation phase of treatment, your dentist will evaluate your bone to determine its density. If it appears too weak, you will need what is called bone grafting in Chaska. This procedure is commonly performed to increase the thickness of the jaw, creating a durable foundation for your implants.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  Do you enjoy a cup (or three) of coffee at the start of each day? How about the occasional glass of red wine or a snack of raspberries? Unfortunately, all of these, in addition to diet, aging, and genetics, can stain your teeth and make them look dull and discolored over time. It’s no secret: everybody is drawn to white teeth, and they are one of the strongest social signifiers in our society. Studies have shown that when someone looks at a person with a bright, perfect smile, words like attractive, intelligent, and professional quickly come to mind. Wouldn’t it be great to have people think that about you just because of your teeth? Now you can so call us today to schedule a consultation to learn more about professional at-home teeth whitening from our Chaska, MN cosmetic dentist!
