Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Your dentist can diagnose a cavity and determine the need for a dental filling through a dental exam. Between the visual inspection and x-rays, your dentist can determine the best course of action. If your dentist recommends cavity filling, they will explain your options for treatment.
• X-rays
  When you get to the dental office, the dentist will examine your oral health, focusing on the area of concern. They will evaluate your symptoms, review your dental history, and possibly take dental X-rays to aid in diagnosis.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Regular brushing and flossing may not be enough to prevent the build-up of yellow plaque and debris in those hard-to-reach spaces in your mouth. That’s why it’s important to keep up with regular dental cleanings and incorporate our new laser treatment every six months to maintain your oral health. Our skilled hygienists use the laser technology to remove harmful bacteria, including yellow plaque, and prevent it from coming back.
• Fluoride Treatment
  Pediatric dentistry is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on providing oral healthcare for children from infancy through adolescence. It offers a range of treatments specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of young patients. One of the primary goals of pediatric dentistry is to ensure that children develop and maintain good oral hygiene habits. Common treatments include dental cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and cavity fillings. Pediatric dentists also monitor the growth and development of children’s teeth and jaws and may provide orthodontic evaluations and early intervention for potential orthodontic issues.
• Dental Sealants
  Aside from orthodontics, extractions, fillings, and sealants are the most common pediatric dental procedures because pediatric tooth decay remains a problem for children.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are placed over the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are typically made of porcelain or composite resin and are designed to match the color and shape of the patient’s natural teeth. Veneers can be used to address a variety of cosmetic issues, including chips, cracks, discoloration, and gaps between teeth.
• Veneers
  The dentist will take a 3D impression of your mouth using the iTero 3D scanner (that takes less than 4 minutes!) to create a “mock-up” of what your new teeth will look like, based on your preferences. You will also select the exact shade you’d like to use for your veneers by matching it to your natural tooth color.
• Crowns
  A dental crown can provide support, structure, and function to a tooth that is too weak or damaged. Your dentist can bond the crown, or dental cap, to your tooth so that it feels and functions just like your natural teeth.
• Bridges
  Having gaps between teeth can affect your life in several ways. When you lose teeth, it can impact your overall oral health and impair speaking and chewing. Dental bridges can fill those gaps and act like your natural teeth, making them an excellent way to restore function and aesthetics.
• Dental Bonding
  Tooth bonding involves the application of a tooth-colored composite to a cracked, chipped, or fractured tooth. It can fill in decayed areas or gaps between teeth. Tooth bonding can create a quick fix and help in emergencies.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Endodontic treatment, commonly known as a root canal, is a way to save an infected tooth. A dentist that does root canals removes infected tissue from the tooth, refills it, and seals it. The root canal treatment removes the infection and prevents future infection in the tooth. Many patients experience pain relief immediately after the treatment and resume normal daily activities shortly afterward.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  Your dental team may suggest a deep cleaning, which is different from regular cleaning. Deep cleaning removes buildup along and under your gum line. It usually involves anesthesia and several follow-ups to make sure your team removed all of the build-up and that your gums heal properly.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Dentures are removable appliances created specifically for you that look and function like your natural teeth. If you’re missing teeth, seeing a dentist for dentures could help you smile, speak, and chew more naturally with more support for your jaw. You can even get affordable partial or full dentures created custom for you!

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Missing teeth can seriously impact your confidence, but they can also make eating and speaking more difficult. Affordable dental implants can restore function, improve your smile, and boost your confidence. Our dental implant dentists work with you every step of the way to ensure you get the smile of your dreams.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Gum Surgery
  These dental lasers are also amazing when it comes to a non-invasive alternative to gum surgery, which is usually needed for severe periodontal disease. The laser can reach bacteria that dental instruments cannot, making it a very effective way to treat gum disease. The dental laser also creates a healthy environment for your gum to reattach to your tooth and significantly reduces bleeding and even promotes healing. Most of our patients see drastic improvement in their gum health and appearance in just a few days after treatment.
• Tooth Extractions
  When a tooth is badly decayed or damaged and cannot be saved, it must be professionally removed through a procedure called a tooth extraction. Extractions are commonly performed on teeth that are severely decayed or broken, or in cases where the mouth does not have space for the tooth– as is the case with most wisdom teeth extractions or extractions performed in conjunction to orthodontic treatment. While many patients may be in pain prior to an extraction, the actual extraction procedure is virtually painless and many patients heal quickly and resume normal functions within a reasonable time post-procedure.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  When you’re in pain due to a tooth emergency, you shouldn’t just search for “emergency dentist near me” and hope for the best. Not every dentist offers emergency services like Jefferson Dental & Orthodontics. We provide emergency dental care Monday through Saturday to get you help as soon as possible and avoid prolonged pain.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  While Invisalign clear aligners are designed to be durable and long-lasting, emergencies can happen. If you experience an emergency with your Invisalign aligners, think of things such as a broken tray or a lost attachment, it’s important to take action quickly to ensure that your orthodontic treatment stays on track. The first step is to contact your dentist to let them know what has happened. They can assess the situation and provide guidance on what to do next. If your dental emergency occurs outside of regular office hours, you may need to reach out to an emergency dentist who can provide immediate assistance. It’s so important to address any emergencies as quickly as possible to prevent delays in your treatment and to ensure that your teeth remain properly aligned.
