Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  This appointment can take 60-90 minutes depending upon your history. It is very important to us to take time to get to know you! This appointment may or may not include a cleaning. If there is an appointment available the same day as your Comprehensive exam to see a dental hygienist, then this will be coordinated. This is not always possible, as our hygienists book out 6 months at a time. We will make every effort to get you scheduled for your cleaning as soon as possible if not on the same day as your exam. After you are an established patient, all of your check-up exams will be done in the same visit as your cleanings.
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening
  B. If you schedule a NEW Patient Comprehensive Exam, this is the appointment used to establish you as a patient in our practice by gathering all the needed information (health history, dental history, X-rays needed, and a complete examination of your entire mouth which includes examination of the teeth and gingiva, including an oral cancer screening and examination of the TMJ) AT this appointment you will see a dentist and a dental assistant. A full set of 18 X-rays may be taken, or a Panoramic film, intraoral photographs of all your teeth, charting of existing treatment and treatment needed.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Our highly-skilled hygiene team helps you maintain and improve your oral health. They provide thorough teeth cleaning and other preventive care to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Compared to silver/amalgam fillings, composite (tooth-colored) fillings provide patients with a more conservative restoration option. There are many benefits to this type of filling, including durability, virtually undetectable color, and restored strength and structure to your tooth. In addition to providing renewed stability to your tooth, a composite filling helps protect against broken teeth in the future.
• Veneers
  For many patients, veneers are an ideal choice for improving their smiles and correcting crooked or misaligned teeth. Veneers are custom-made porcelain laminates that are bonded directly to the front and top surfaces of the teeth. Porcelain veneers are also a great option for patients looking to close gaps between teeth. Veneers are resistant to discoloration from coffee, tea, dental bleaching, and even cigarette stains.
• Crowns
  To save our patients time and ensure they receive the highest quality care, Pierpan Dentistry is proud to offer same-day crowns and other dental restorations through CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics). This advanced technology combines 3D imaging and computer-assisted design (CAD) dentistry to help our team quickly and accurately design tooth restorations. CEREC works by taking a digital picture of your tooth, which is then converted into a 3D image that is used to create your custom-made ceramic restoration. In just one visit, we can complete a CEREC restoration that looks and feels natural.
• Bridges
  Like a filling, implant, or dental bridge, a dental crown is used to restore aesthetics, function, and strength to your teeth. A crown may be utilized for a tooth in an advanced stage of decay or that has experienced severe damage. The finished crown can be made from several materials and covers the remaining tooth structure.
• Restorative Dentistry
  It is our goal to ensure you and your family receive comfortable, stress-free dental care. We offer a complete range of family, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry services. Our offices are outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment, and our team stays current with modern practices by participating in continuing education courses.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  If a tooth has experienced dental trauma or a cavity has reached the pulp of a tooth, a root canal is necessary. It is typical for teeth needing a root canal to have large fillings or a lot of decay. During treatment, we will clean out and disinfect the interior of your tooth and remove the infected pulp, decay, and/or old filling. This will help alleviate your discomfort and, more importantly, remove the infection. The canals of the tooth are then sealed, preventing future bacterial infection. At the close of the procedure, we will restore the tooth with a crown or filling. This strengthens and stabilizes the remaining tooth structure.

Periodontics

• Periodontal Surgery
  Our office utilizes the Diode dental laser to perform soft tissue contouring to help improve the esthetics of your smile. Compared to periodontal surgery, these laser treatments are much less invasive and can help you achieve similar results.
• Deep Cleaning
  Our team is committed to helping you and your family members maintain great gum health and preventing gum disease from developing. However, if you do develop gum disease, we will work with you to restore your health through deep cleaning and regular visits to our offices.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  For patients missing most or all of their teeth, dentures can provide a great restoration option. Both dentures and partials are designed to enhance your smile and look like your natural teeth. If you are missing all of your natural teeth, full dentures may be recommended, whereas partials are used for patients who still retain some of their natural teeth. Some patients feel dentures give them a better smile than they had before!

Implants

• Dental Implants
  This type of restoration, when properly maintained, can provide patients with a permanent tooth replacement option. Our practice provides surgical placements and restoration of single and/or multiple implants. We utilize the latest technology to ensure our patients receive comfortable, effective care. To determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment, we will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health and existing jawbone structure.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Tooth Extractions
  Not everyone’s wisdom teeth need to be removed. However, if your wisdom teeth are impacted and causing problems to your adjacent teeth and tissues, they should be removed. Before your surgery, we will schedule a consultation to discuss the risks and benefits of this procedure.
