Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Dr. Sherry R. Jordan is an expert in caring for tooth decay (caries or cavities). Besides a thorough cleaning and examination to identify cavities, Dr. Jordan has a state-of-the-art DIAGNOdent® pen to pinpoint cavities even when the surface of the tooth looks intact (subsurface cavities).
• X-rays
  Dental x-rays are invaluable in dentistry. In the past, dentists were limited on the amount of x-ray equipment they could accommodate in their office space as well as concern about the cost. The advancements in digital technology have changed this limitation and opened up a whole new world of resources for dentists in the diagnosis and treatment of their patients.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Jordan Dentistry offers professional teeth cleaning for new and established patients. A proper oral hygiene regimen is a must to main a healthy mouth. This oral hygiene regimen should include a professional cleaning every six months.
• Dental Sealants
  Jordan Dentistry also offers dental sealants to help prevent plaque buildup in the cracks and on the teeth. Dental sealants are a quick and painless procedure that has been shown to decrease the development of cavities. The CDC reports that dental sealants are effective for up to 80% at two years and up to 50% effective for up to 4 years.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Filling material can be made of gold, silver amalgam, porcelain, or composite resin. The porcelain and composite resin are both easily color-matched to the teeth. Dr. Sherry R. Jordan at Jordan Dentistry will help you decide which one is the best option for you. Some of the deciding factors will include placement in the mouth and patient budget.
• Veneers
  Jordan Dentistry provides several options for correcting gaps between teeth, misshaped or chipped teeth, or even stubborn stains. Veneers are one of those options. Veneers were first used at the beginning of movie-making. The actors and actresses being filmed were requesting ways to improve the appearance of their teeth. The first veneers were only temporary due to the lack of more permanent glue, so the veneers would have to be reapplied frequently. Advances in adhesive technology have made veneers a good long-term solution for dental patients.
• Crowns
  Botox provides a less invasive and less aggressive option for the treatment of a high lip line (gummy smile). Although temporary, the Botox relaxes the lip muscles which lowers the smile line. More permanent treatments would include gingival surgery or crown lengthening.
• Bridges
  Jordan Dentistry can make your smile whole again by filling the gaps with a dental bridge. A bridge is an appliance that is custom-made with replacement teeth on a “bridge” that is attached to the remaining teeth in the mouth. The false teeth are usually made of porcelain and are made in the same color as the rest of the teeth to look natural.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  A crown is a cap shaped like a tooth that can restore a single tooth to its original shape and size. It can fix a single damaged tooth when an implant or root canal is required. A crown is sometimes used for cosmetic purposes, and crowns are also typically needed when placing bridges.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Patients who experience substantial tooth loss begin to lose bone density in the jaw. The bone loss then leads to the deterioration of the muscles of the face. If deteriorated muscles are making it difficult to fit new dentures properly, Botox can help retrain and relax those muscles for better fitting dentures.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  The strongest and most stable option is an implant-supported bridge. Implants and crowns are placed for the abutting teeth, and the bridge is suspended between them. This type of bridge takes longer to put into place.
