Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  The temporomandibular joint connects the lower jaw to the skull and includes many muscles and ligaments. This joint can become diseased or over-stressed causing symptoms such as tooth sensitivity, ear pain, jaw tenderness, headaches, and neck pain.  This disorder can exhibit symptoms that mimic other conditions, and it is important to have a comprehensive exam with a dentist to determine the cause of the symptoms. There are several treatments for TMD including, stress reducing methods, warm moist heat, stretching exercises, muscle relaxants, and removable appliances. The dentist will develop a customized treatment plan to treat your individual condition.
• X-rays
  Dental radiographs are very safe for your child. The amount of radiation is properly calibrated to your child’s size. A lead apron and devices on the x-ray machine are used to limit radiation exposure to your child.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Our dental cleaning appointments involve a review of your oral hygiene and diet, an extraoral and intraoral exam, blood pressure screening, oral cancer exam, removal of plaque and polish. The dentist will also provide an exam at each cleaning appointment.
• Dental Sealants
  A sealant is a material that is placed over the grooves on the biting surface of your molars. Sealants can be placed on children and adults. The grooves on molars can be very deep and difficult to keep clean which leads to cavities. A sealant provides a surface that is easier to clean and helps prevent cavities.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  Veneers are a thin covering placed over the front teeth. These coverings are permanently cemented to the tooth. Veneers are one way to improve the appearance of chipped, stained, or unevenly spaced teeth.
• Crowns
  A bridge is a way to replace a missing tooth. A bridge involves placing a crown on the teeth adjacent to the space with an artificial tooth connected in the middle. A bridge is permanently cemented in your mouth. Bridges requires very thorough home care and periodontal maintenance to keep the adjacent teeth healthy.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  A partial denture is a removable appliance used when some natural teeth are missing. It replaces missing teeth, restores chewing function and prevents remaining teeth from moving.

Implants

  Our dentists are experienced at many dental restorations including fillings, crowns and implants. We now have the ability to complete a crown in one visit. At your first visit, the dentist will review all of your treatment options to allow you to make an informed decision.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  Our office does perform extractions. The doctors will provide a thorough dental examination and x-rays prior to a tooth being extracted. There may be certain situations that require the care of an Oral Surgeon. At that time, the doctors will provide a referral to a local Oral Surgery office.
• Tooth Extractions
  Our dentists will extract teeth in our office. The dentist will clinically and radiographically examine your tooth. If a tooth extraction is recommended, the dentist will then determine based on his/her exam, your medical history, and future treatment planned, if your tooth can be extracted in our office or if it would be best for you to see an Oral Surgeon. If a visit with an Oral Surgeon is recommended, we will schedule that appointment for you and send a copy of treatment needed and xrays taken. We pride ourselves on having a close relationship with our local Oral Surgeons to help provide our patients with the best care and experience possible.
