Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  When we only see you in the office at Whalen Dental twice yearly for regular cleanings and exams, it’s essential that you establish and maintain an ideal oral homecare routine. If you want to keep your smile bright, white, and sparkling, and fend off decay and disease, we recommend following these hygiene tips and tricks...
• X-rays
  A question we’re frequently asked is: “Are Dental X-Rays Safe?” We understand the concern and would like to put your mind at ease. First, let’s discuss the reasons we use them in our examination process. Dental x-rays help us...
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Oral cancer is one of the most common and most deadly forms of cancer in America. Your Cornelius dentist is in a unique position to detect and diagnose oral cancer in its early stage before the disease progresses. We’re happy to perform oral cancer screenings as part of your regular exams.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  If you’re looking for the best dental cleaning in Cornelius, or just some quality advice straight from the professionals, you’ve come to the right place! If you have any questions about oral hygiene, or would like to schedule a cleaning with your Cornelius dentist – Dr. Ryan S. Whalen at Whalen Dentistry – give us a call today.
• Fluoride Treatment
  Fluoride treatments can be especially helpful for patients with dry mouth or sensitive teeth. If you have a decrease in saliva, often as a side effect of medication, you’re at an elevated risk for tooth decay and gum disease. Coupled with fluoride toothpaste and fluoridated drinking water, we can provide treatments that keep your smile healthy.
• Dental Sealants

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  Veneers are thin strips of tooth colored porcelain that are bonded to the visible surface (front) of the teeth to correct any number of cosmetic issues. Veneers can correct tooth color, minor alignment issues like crowding or spacing, cracks and chips, as well as tooth shape and size. Veneers do require a small amount of preparation of the natural teeth to ensure proper fit and strength of the bond.
• Crowns
  At Whalen Dentistry, you don’t have to have royal blood to get the royal treatment. If you’ve suffered from disease, decay, or trauma and are in need of a stable, long-lasting, natural-looking restoration, your Cornelius dentist can fit you with a beautiful porcelain crown to restore your smile in form and function.
• Bridges
  If you’re living with a gap in your smile, it can have a serious impact – not only for the appearance of your smile and your self-esteem, but your oral health could take a toll as well. Replacing missing teeth with a dental bridge allows patients to eat, speak, and smile with confidence again!
• Dental Bonding
  Tooth bonding, or cosmetic bonding, is great for correcting minor imperfections in your teeth – chips, cracks, stains, and minor shape or alignment problems. We paint a tooth colored resin over your teeth to give them a more perfect appearance.
• Restorative Dentistry
  If you’ve suffered from decay, trauma, or tooth loss, we have plenty of options to restore your smile in form and function! If you have any questions about restorative dentistry or would like to schedule a consultation with your Cornelius dentist – Dr. Ryan C. Whalen at Whalen Dentistry – give us a call today.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Dr. Whalen is also trained and certified in endodontics, or treatments of the tooth roots. This includes root canals, as well as endodontic surgery when root canals fail. You may require endodontic treatment if you’re suffering from an infection of the tooth root. Don’t worry, you’re in good hands with us.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  *1st member fee is $366, $314 for 2nd member of same family, and $261 for each additional add-on. Subject to change. If you require Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy (also called “deep cleaning”), that is not included in the Enrollment Fee, but is immediately subject to the 15%  discount. You can choose to have your Enrollment Fee automatically renewed annually by billing your credit card on file. Enrollment Fees are non-refundable once any treatment is performed, including the first cleaning. If you have periodontal disease and require either 3 or 4-month periodontal maintenance appointments, that is considered a service covered under your plan, and you would receive 15%  off. However, the x-rays and exams each year would be covered at 100%.

Prosthodontics
