- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningDentists are uniquely positioned to detect oral cancer during routine exams. This is especially important since most oral cancers do not present symptoms until the condition is much more advanced. You can reduce your risk of oral cancer by quitting smoking, drinking alcohol only in moderation, and avoiding excess sun exposure.
- Teeth CleaningAfter our dental hygienist has finished cleaning your teeth, Dr. Kardaris inspects your teeth and gums to see if you have gum disease or tooth decay issues. If any new concerns arise during your bi-annual dental cleaning and exam, you must return to our dental practice for a follow-up appointment.
- Fillings
- VeneersOur porcelain veneer services are paper-thin, custom-made sheaths that are placed on the fronts of your teeth to give you a more attractive smile. Our top-of-the-line porcelain veneers are strong and beautiful and capable of easily withstanding normal everyday wear and tear. And they come with a five-year guarantee!
- CrownsAlternatively known as a dental cap, a dental crown fits securely over a tooth to protect it for any of the above reasons. Before placing a crown over your tooth, Dr. Kardaris must remove some tooth enamel to ensure a tight fit. She also reshapes the tooth into a wide point, another necessary step before applying adhesive material to the tooth and then the crown. The process sometimes requires her to add filling material to give the remaining portion of your tooth additional bulk.
- BridgesA Maryland dental bridge consists of a pontic held in place by brackets that adhere to the back of the natural teeth on both sides of the missing one. You can only have a Maryland bridge placed if you have natural teeth that are strong enough to support the porcelain or metal brackets on the back of the teeth.
- Dental BondingOur cosmetic dentistry bonding services use a tooth-colored resin material to repair chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth. It can also be used to fill in gaps in your teeth, and even change the the shape of your teeth. And, unlike other cosmetic dental treatments like veneers, dental bonding is completely reversible. Additionally, dental bonding will last anywhere between three and 10 years.
- Restorative DentistryOnce you have agreed to your treatment plan, you will undergo one or more restorative dentistry procedures. Remember that you may need to wait several weeks to months between certain treatments to give your mouth a chance to heal.
- Root Canal TreatmentEach of your teeth contains blood vessels and pulp inside their chambers. You need root canal treatment when the pulp becomes infected to avoid having the tooth extracted later. A root canal involves Dr. Kardaris removing the inflamed and infected tissue and then placing a dental crown on top of the tooth to prevent further bacterial infections.
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesDental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to support artificial teeth, restoring function and aesthetics. Think of them as artificial tooth roots. These small, biocompatible posts, usually made of titanium, are surgically placed into the jawbone. Over time, a process called osseointegration bonds the implant with the bone, creating a sturdy foundation for a crown, bridge, or even dentures.
- Dental ImplantsInfection, injury, gum disease, and severe tooth decay are the most common reasons that people lose natural teeth. If you have lost a single tooth, multiple teeth, or all-natural teeth due to one of these issues, consider replacing them with dental implants in Chesterfield, MO.
- Oral SurgeryIf you feel that your natural teeth have become unusable, the first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Jenny Kardaris at New Age Dental Care. Dr. Kardaris will ask about your dental and medical history, including current and past medications, treatments, and surgeries. She will also inquire about lifestyle habits that could affect oral surgery outcomes, such as smoking or frequently consuming acidic foods.
- Tooth ExtractionsInsurance companies typically cover root canals, treatment for gum disease, tooth extraction, and other medically necessary procedures. However, if you combine cosmetic with restorative procedures, be sure to check on your coverage ahead of time because you may not have coverage for teeth whitening and related cosmetic enhancements.
- Orthodontics
