- Dental ExaminationA comprehensive dental exam will be performed by your dentist at your initial dental visit. At regular check-up exams, your dentist and hygienist will include the following...
- X-raysDigital radiography (digital x-ray) is the latest technology used to take dental x-rays. This technique uses an electronic sensor (instead of x-ray film) that captures and stores the digital image on a computer. This image can be instantly viewed and enlarged helping the dentist and dental hygienist detect problems easier. Digital x-rays reduce radiation 80-90% compared to the already low exposure of traditional dental x-rays.
- Oral Cancer ScreeningCheck the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.

Below are just some of the many procedures and services we regularly provide to our patients – with a gentle touch, and stunning results.

- Fluoride TreatmentAlthough most people receive fluoride from food and water, sometimes it is not enough to help prevent decay. Your dentist or dental hygienist may recommend the use of home and/or professional fluoride treatments for the following reasons...
- Dental SealantsA sealant is a thin, plastic coating applied to the chewing surface of molars, premolars and any deep grooves (called pits and fissures) of teeth. More than 75% of dental decay begins in these deep grooves. Teeth with these conditions are hard to clean and are very susceptible to decay. A sealant protects the tooth by sealing deep grooves, creating a smooth, easy to clean surface.
- FillingsThere are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. You and your dentist can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth. Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam fillings, are the most widely used today. Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth, and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or the more visible areas of the teeth.
- VeneersVeneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile.
- CrownsA crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
- BridgesDental bridges are highly durable and will last many years, however they may need replacement or need to be re-cemented due to normal wear.

- OrthodonticsOrthodontics is a branch of dentistry specializing in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of jaw, face and bite irregularities (malocclusions*). Orthodontic treatment is provided by an oral health care provider known as an orthodontist, who has completed two to three years of additional training beyond dental school.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsInvisalign® Clear Braces: If you have crooked teeth, unwanted tooth gaps, crowded teeth, or an improper bite, Invisalign treatment can straighten your teeth and give you an even smile. It is an alternative to traditional metal braces that consists of removable clear aligners that you wear on your teeth to reposition them. The aligners are custom plastic trays that exert pressure on your teeth to move them to their ideal position. It's most effective on mild to moderate bite issues and typically takes 12-18 months to completely transform your smile. You should wear Invisalign aligners for at least 22 hours daily to see results. Invisalign aligners are ideal for patients who find traditional metal braces uncomfortable or unappealing. They are removable and do not require adjustments in your diet or oral hygiene routine. Since they are barely visible, you can correct your bite discreetly. The custom trays also fit your teeth perfectly for comfort and effectiveness. Our Fairfield cosmetic dentist will monitor your progress every 4-6 weeks to monitor your progress and promote treatment success.
