Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  When you visit your dentist, you’re not just getting a thorough brushing of your teeth. Sure, that’s certainly part of it. After all, just brushing your teeth on your own isn’t enough to get your teeth truly clean or remove stuck-on plaque. But the other half of the equation – and perhaps more importantly – is a thorough dental exam to check for oral cancer, gum recession, tooth decay and bone loss.
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Use of tobacco, cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, or pipes increases your risk of oral cancer. If you have used any of these products over your lifetime, oral cancer screening is a must.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Regular brushing and flossing are certainly important habits to build, but they’re not enough to maintain overall oral health. Six-month dental cleanings and thorough exams are a vital building block to maintaining a consistently healthy mouth.
• Fluoride Treatment
  The benefits of fluoride far outweigh the possible negatives, which is why we at Hudson Family Dental recommended regular fluoride treatments for children and teens. While fluoride’s benefits are evident at any age, they are most effective between the ages of six and 16 — when the teeth are actively growing.
• Dental Sealants
  Your smile should last a lifetime. One way to ensure that is to protect your teeth from decay with dental sealants. This essential proactive step in dental care involves a visit every six months to Hudson Family Dental for cleanings and checkups. At these visits, your dentist may recommend getting dental sealants, especially if you are prone to cavities.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Quite simply, dental fillings are used to treat a small hole in the tooth – AKA a cavity.  After removing the decayed tooth tissue, your dentist will fill the hole with some kind of material. Today, the most naturally looking option includes composite resin fillings comprised of tooth-colored, plastic and glass materials.Â
• Veneers
  If you’re looking for a red-carpet smile, veneers could be your answer. In just a few quick visits to Hudson Family Dental, you can finally get the straight, white, beautiful teeth you have always wanted – with the help of veneers.
• Crowns
  To protect your teeth and restore your smile: these are the two primary objectives of dental crowns. Whether you have experienced a tooth fracture or severe tooth decay, dental crowns can put the finishing touches on your new tooth. They provide extra protection and durability to ensure your tooth is stronger than ever.
• Bridges
  Missing or damaged teeth can have a big effect on your self-esteem. We know how important it is to smile with confidence, which is why we offer dental bridges that can bridge the gap and restore that winning smile.
• Dental Bonding
  Whether you’ve been meaning to fix that gap in your two front teeth or you have a chip or crack, you could be a good candidate for composite bonding. And the best part is, this can be done in just one visit! Hudson Family Dental offers composite bonding for our patients, one of the most cost effective and least invasive cosmetic dental services available.
• Restorative Dentistry
  The composite resin material used with bonding procedures is the same one used in many restorative dentistry procedures such as cavity fillings, replacement of silver dental fillings, and protection of roots exposed to gum recession.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  No one wants to hear that they need a root canal. Yet millions of people every year find relief in root canal therapy. If you’re suffering from tooth pain, you may fear you need a root canal and as a result you may feel a bit apprehensive about the prospect. But worry not: with the professionals at Hudson Family Dental behind you, root canal therapy can be a pain-free, stress-free process that alleviates your discomfort and saves your smile.

• Ridge Augmentation
   The supporting jawbone is often thinner than it was before if your teeth have been missing for a while. Ridge augmentation will increase the width and volume of the jawbone so it is better able to offer a stable foundation for implants.
• Bone Grafting
  At the time of extraction, if an implant is unable to be inserted at that time, bone grafting is recommended to help preserve the volume of the bone in the area of the extraction during your healing phase.Â
