Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Dental x-rays are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Dentists and dental hygienists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and complete an accurate treatment plan. Without x-rays, problem areas may go undetected.
• X-rays
  Digital x-rays produce a significantly lower level of radiation compared to traditional dental x-rays. Not only are digital x-rays better for the health and safety of the patient, they are faster and more comfortable to take, which reduces your time in the office.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning

Restorative

• Crowns
  Crown lengthening is generally performed in order to improve the health of the gum tissue, or to prepare the mouth for restorative or cosmetic procedures.
• Bridges

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Sometimes even after root-canal treatment infected debris can remain in these branches and possible prevent healing or cause re-infection later.
• Apicoectomy
  The Kodak 9300 CBCT's resolution is clear enough to visualize and assess existing treated and untreated canals as well as root fractures in teeth. It also provides us with input to determine if an apicoectomy is indicated and how successful the apicoectomy may be if performed. Additionally the Kodak 9300 CBCT can take scans as large as the upper and lower jaw as small as four teeth to minimize over radiation and scanning of unnecessary areas of the mouth. It also provides stronger indication of bone quality.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  The frenectomy may be recommended after orthodontic treatment to help stabilize the position of the teeth. Another indication for a frenectomy is a partial or full-denture patient whose function is hindered in chewing. Frenectomies are occasionally performed for aesthetic considerations if the frenum prevents a natural smile.

• Dental Implants
  Dental Implants typically have about a 92%-98% success rate and are literally changing the lives of many of our patients.
