Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  You’re going to sit down the first time you come to see us and have an in-depth conversation with Dr. Flanagan. She wants to hear about your oral and overall health concerns or needs. We’re always here to listen if you have questions or want to learn more about our unique, compassionate style of Clear Lake dentistry.

• X-rays

Our all-digital x-rays are safer for you and your family, more efficient, and better for our environment as they cause less waste compared to traditional x-rays. What’s even better about digital x-rays is that they can provide us with images that are incredibly detailed and beneficial to creating a custom treatment plan for you and your smile. Almost instantly after we snap the first x-ray radiograph, both you and Dr. Flanagan will be able to see the results.

• Oral Cancer Screening
  During your comprehensive exam, we’ll be sure to take safe, digital x-rays and high-definition photographs using state-of-the-art intraoral and extraoral cameras. You’ll also receive a thorough visual and manual oral cancer screening where we can spot any abnormalities that might require further investigation. This is our chance to understand your mouth and what’s happening in terms of your oral health. We can use all of the information and data we collect during this time to create a more personalized dental experience for you and your family. You can schedule an appointment or comprehensive exam any time online or by calling our Bay Area dental office. We’re always accepting new patients into our dental family.

Restorative

• Fillings
  At Cindy T. Flanagan, DDS, we use composite or tooth-colored fillings compared to metal or amalgam fillings of the past. These durable restorations are used to help repair a decaying, cracked, or fractured tooth. We use our specialized tools and training to clean out the affected areas of your tooth and then add the composite filling. When your treatment is complete, you’ll have a tooth that’s whole and healthy, that blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile as far as color and texture. Composite fillings work very well in teeth that are more highly visible than others.
• Veneers
  Thanks to our state-of-the-art digital technology and diagnostic wax-ups, we can even show you an amazing preview of your new look with your porcelain veneers. You’ll be able to see the life-altering results during your cosmetic consultation so you know exactly what to expect. When your first appointment wraps-up, you’ll already be fitted with a set of temporary porcelain veneers to give your new look a try. When your new custom veneers arrive from our trusted, professional lab you’ll be fitted and on your way to experiencing life with long-lasting, stain-resistant porcelain veneers courtesy of your skilled Clear Lake cosmetic dentist. Schedule your cosmetic consultation to learn more about your options. You deserve it!
• Crowns
  Porcelain inlays – Their job is similar to a filling, except they are more customized to fit your smile. We see patients opt for porcelain inlays because they don’t interfere with your smile’s natural esthetic. They look and feel exactly like your natural teeth. Our inlays are carefully constructed in a dental laboratory before Dr. Flanagan permanently adheres them to your teeth. Inlays are another restorative option you can consider compared to composite fillings. Inlays are less invasive than dental crowns, too, as we don’t have to remove as much of your natural tooth before placement.
• Bridges
  Dental crowns in Clear Lake are another popular restorative solution we offer for patients who come to us with a damaged tooth or teeth. Sometimes, no matter how much you brush or how often you see the dentist, problems with our teeth occur, and they need help being restored to their natural state and function. This is where crowns and bridges can be a real “tooth saver.”
• Dental Bonding
  So many patients opt for our composite bonding procedure because it’s quick and pain-free. The results are immediate and are generally accomplished in just one easy office visit. Unlike porcelain veneers, composite bonding is minimally invasive and doesn’t require preparation of your tooth or removal of enamel. Anesthesia isn’t necessary for this treatment that begins with having the surfaces of your tooth slightly roughened before Dr. Flanagan applies a special conditioning liquid. This helps ensure a proper hold when the bonding material adheres to your teeth. With an artful eye, your Clear Lake cosmetic dentist can sculpt and mold the material to create your desired smile.
• Restorative Dentistry
  Restorative dentistry in Clear Lake, like cosmetic and general care, is changing the way the Bay Area feels about seeing the dentist — particularly Cindy T. Flanagan, DDS. Her knowledge, training, and dedication are exceptional.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  However, it’s the in-depth amount of time she takes getting to understand your personal needs, and what your smile needs to perform optimally, that resonates with patients and their families. It means a lot to people like you who want tailored restorative care for everything from fillings and root canals to implants and dental crowns in Clear Lake.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Our state-of-the-art dentures are artificial teeth and gums that are precisely formed to custom fit your mouth. Dr. Flanagan can help make your smile whole again by creating dentures that replace all or part of your teeth. You can have dentures for both your upper and lower teeth. The advanced materials we use today for denture teeth are more durable, but they still require special care and attention to keep them from chipping or cracking. Generally speaking, you might need to replace your dentures about every five years to keep them looking fresh and your smile looking fantastic.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  Usually appearing in your late teens or early twenties, wisdom teeth can even throw your entire smile out of alignment leading to orthodontic issues.
