Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Periodontal diagnosis is something we do a lot of. Periodontal disease is diagnosed by your dentist or dental hygienist during a periodontal examination. This type of exam should always be part of your regular dental check-up.
• X-rays
  Digital radiography (digital x-ray) is the latest technology used to take dental x-rays. This technique uses an electronic sensor (instead of x-ray film) that captures and stores the digital image on a computer. This image can be instantly viewed and enlarged helping the dentist and dental hygienist detect problems easier. Digital x-rays reduce radiation 80-90% compared to the already low exposure of traditional dental x-rays.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Dental cleaning can be done with us, but there is also the dental cleaning you do at home. Brushing and flossing are of paramount importance to oral hygiene. Though bi-annual professional dental cleaning s remove plaque, tartar and debris, excellent homecare methods are equally valuable. Proper brushing and flossing can enhance the health of the mouth, make the smile sparkle and prevent serious diseases.
• Fluoride Treatment
  Prevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive treatments that help protect the teeth. You needn’t always be thinking in terms of large things that need to be done, and a focus on those areas that general dentistry deals with is going to help prevent a lot of these more serious conditions from occurring.
• Dental Sealants
  As a practice, we are true believers that preventive care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. With this intention we strive to provide “dental health care” vs. “disease care”. That’s why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary. We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we’re also concerned about your health. Moreover, a review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.

Restorative

• Fillings
  There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. You and your dentist can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth. Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam fillings, are the most widely used today. Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth, and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or the more visible areas of the teeth.
• Veneers
  Porcelain Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile.
• Crowns
  Porcelain onlays are a a great technology. If the damage to your tooth has been more extensive, and the problem extends to the biting surface of your tooth, you are more likely to need a porcelain onlay, rather than an inlay. They are sometimes referred to as a partial crown because the job that they do is to replace this part of the tooth, and they cover a larger area than the inlay would.
• Bridges
  Porcelain Fixed Bridges or dental bridges are fixed (non-removable) appliances and are an excellent way to replace missing teeth.
• Dental Bonding

Endodontics

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  Scaling and root planning can be used both as a preventative measure and as a stand-alone treatment. These procedures are performed as a preventative measure for a periodontitis sufferer.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Dental implants look great – providing you with a new smile and a solution to the problem of dentures, whether complete or partial.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  A dental implant is described as having artificial roots and are artificial teeth that are placed into the upper or lower jaw by means of surgery. This is done by a qualified dentist or peridontist. They look very natural and last a long time.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  Tooth loss and damage to the jaw bone and tissues are often challenging for your dentist during oral surgery or implant placement. Without enough support in the jawbone, dental implants cannot be immediately stabilized and tissue healing can be a long process. The solution to these and other difficult situations is a new Platelet Therapy created from your own blood. Leukocyte –Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) changes all the rules as it promotes healing and bone growth from within your own body. Unlike other treatments that use artificial components, Platelet Therapy with L-PRF uses only your own blood. With a simple blood draw and an advanced technology protocol, L-PRF is individually made for you – from you. The end results are improved healing response and significantly less recovery time.
• Flap Surgery
  Pocket elimination surgery – The dentist may choose to perform “flap surgery” to directly reduce the size of the gum pockets.
• Gum Surgery
  Laser Periodontal Therapy™ is a great innovation. For patients with moderate to severe gum disease, LANAP offers a less invasive, more patient friendly alternative to traditional gum surgery. We are always looking to provide our patients with the best service possible, and this means when there is an alternative to expensive and possibly painful surgery we will recommend the alternative treatment.
• Ridge Augmentation
  Ridge augmentation – This procedure, often called “recontouring” may be required to correct an uneven gum line. Before embarking on treatment, a periodontist needs to treat any bacterial infections and periodontitis.
• Bone Grafting
  Tissue & bone grafting – Where a considerable amount of bone or gum tissue has been destroyed, the dentist may elect to graft new tissue by inserting a membrane to stimulate tissue growth.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Whether it be cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, root canals, periodontistry, teeth cleanings, regular checkups, veneers, dental implants, dental crowns, mercury removal, gum disease or regular dental hygiene – we can help.
