Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Intraorally, the normal state of the oral cavity is compared to what is present. The condition of the teeth, gums, tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, palate and other pertinent structures are studied. Extraorally, the condition of the lips, the muscles of mastication and the appearance of the jaw is examined. Facial symmetry is assessed and the overall condition is taken into consideration. A comprehensive examination of the case is very important; only then can a definite treatment plan be designed.
• X-rays
  The next step is typically dental x-rays, which reveal any dental problems that are not easily visible. The doctor will also perform a hands-on examination to evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  What do you do when you wake up and right before you go to bed? If you said brush your teeth, then that’s great! Brushing and flossing twice a day is essential in maintaining your oral health. However, you do also need to visit your dentist for a dental cleaning at least twice a year.
• Dental Sealants
  Our teeth play an important role in our lives, and we need to make sure that we keep them protected. Protection from tooth decay is important and that’s where dental sealants come into play.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Gold Fillings – Possibly the most famous of the types of dental fillings, gold fillings are durable and can last up to 20 years. Gold can be an expensive option and as such is not often the patient’s first choice.
• Resin Composite
  Fillings – Fillings are used to treat small cavities and require removing the affected portion of the tooth and replacing it with filling materials such as porcelain or composite resin.
• Veneers
  Since veneers are individually sculpted for each patient, it is almost impossible to tell the difference between a veneer and a natural tooth. Compared to natural teeth, custom-made veneers have resistance to coffee and tea stains, and even cigarette smoke because veneers are made of high-tech materials.
• Crowns
  Next, rinse your mouth of any blood or other debris that might be in your mouth. It is also important to place a cold compress on the cheek near the injury for further relief from swelling and irritation. If you cannot place the tooth back in its socket, hold the dislocated tooth by the crown and place it in a container of warm milk, saline, or the person’s own saliva. Make sure to keep it in the solution until you arrive at the emergency room or dentist’s office.
• Bridges
  Also known as a fixed partial denture, dental bridges are used to literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A typical dental bridge is comprised of one or more artificial teeth that are held in place by two dental crowns. When you lose a tooth, the bridge is attached to the surrounding teeth for support and to fill in the void with artificial teeth. Dental bridges, while temporary, help keep smiles functioning normally after a tooth is lost or removed.
• Dental Bonding

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth. Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth’s function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth. Today, crowns are typically made from porcelain, ceramic or some type of resin—though they can also be made from gold alloy or nickel.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Dentures are often associated with the elderly, but that isn’t always the case. If you have lost all or most of your teeth, dentures are available to replace your missing teeth and restore your smile. Whether you have lost teeth due to periodontal disease, decay, or injury; dentures might be a great option for improving your health and appearance. Let’s take a closer look at partial dentures and how to restore your smile.

Implants

• Dental Implants

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Tooth Extractions

General

• Teeth Whitening
  Whitening procedures effectively restore the smile of people with stained, dull, or discolored teeth. The darker tissue of your teeth, the dentin, can become exposed as the outer layer of enamel is worn away by the effects of aging or things like caffeine, tobacco and medication.
