Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Very good work by Gwen, the dental hygenist, including a follow-up phone call. Also, thorough dental exam by Dr. Nomi.I highly recommend Spring District Family Dentistry!
• X-rays
  Dental X-rays enable dentists to see decay inside teeth that would not be visible to the naked eye. This allows us to act earlier against cavities, which is much better for the teeth. However, X-rays do expose patients to radiation, which is why you always wear a lead apron when the images are being taken. Thanks to advances in technology, there is now a safer way to take these images.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Oral cancer is quickly becoming one of the most prevalent forms of cancer today, but it doesn’t receive much attention compared to breast and lung cancer, and that’s a major part of the problem. Because few people realize that oral cancer is a risk, they often don’t get diagnosed until it’s past the early stages, which makes it much more dangerous. We at Bridle Trails Family Dentistry want to stop oral cancer in its tracks by diagnosing it early, and that’s where oral cancer screenings come in.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Your teeth cleaning will remove tartar, debris, and plaque from your mouth. Dr. Nomi coordinates with your hygienist and recommends a treatment plan for any problems that are found. We’ll also recommend cosmetic treatments or oral appliances to improve your smile.
• Fluoride Treatment
  We know that cavity prevention is a never-ending quest. Fortunately, there are many tools we use to help fight tooth decay. The obvious ones include brushing, flossing, and regular checkups. Another great way to fight cavities is the application of topical fluoride treatments.
• Dental Sealants
  Regular checkups for children are not only important, they also create healthy dental habbits. For routine care, most children should see a pediatric dentist twice a year. For your child’s comfort, we are willing to discuss preventative services, such as dental sealants, during these visits

Restorative

• Fillings
  Metal-free fillings, also known as composite resin fillings, match the color of the tooth and are biocompatible. Traditional black amalgam fillings are typically made of mercury and silver, along with other “junk” metals.
• Resin Composite
  Fillings are made of different types of materials. There are gold fillings, silver fillings (AKA) amalgam, composite resin fillings, and porcelain fillings. Our doctors will recommend the best type of material for your filling.
• Veneers
  You greet the world with your smile, and if you have discolored, uneven, or cracked teeth, it may be difficult to do so confidently. The good news is that we have a solution for you. Using veneers, we can help you change the color, shape, length, alignment, and spacing of your teeth.
• Crowns
  THERE WON’T BE a pop-quiz later, but we still want our patients to be familiar with the anatomy of their teeth, starting with the crown and going down to the roots. Everything visible above the gums is the crown, which... Learn More
• Bridges
  Tooth loss can happen for a variety of reasons, from decay to disease to injury. No matter the cause of tooth loss, it’s important to fill in the gap to restore normal chewing function. One option is a dental bridge. The bridge replaces missing teeth with pontics (fake teeth) and is supported by attaching to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap. Bridges can be made from a variety of materials that differ in cost, appearance, and durability.
• Dental Bonding
  Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin (a type of durable plastic) is applied to the tooth and hardened with a special light, which ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth to restore or improve a person’s smile. Bonding is done to repair a decayed, chipped, fractured, discolored tooth. If you live in Kirkland, Bellevue, or Redmond, Washington, or the surrounding areas we would like to serve you.
• Restorative Dentistry
  Not all dental problems can be solved with enamel shaping. More serious cases generally require orthodontic treatment or restorative dentistry to correct, but shaping is a great option for improving the appearance (and in some cases even the function) of teeth with smaller imperfections. If your teeth have uneven edges or minor chipping, enamel shaping could be the perfect solution for you. To learn more, contact us.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Thanks to bioceramic fillers and sealers, your root canal treatment can have an even better result! It will take fewer visits to complete than it used to, and the way the material bonds to the tooth gives it a higher chance of success. Just don’t take that as an excuse to skip out on your daily brushing and flossing!

Periodontics

• Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
  A gingivectomy is a procedure to remove a portion of the gum tissue from around a tooth or teeth. It may be performed to heal the effects of periodontal disease or to correct overgrown gingiva. It is one of a few procedures that can help reverse periodontal issues. A similar procedure is gingivoplasty, which only partially removes a section of gum tissue rather than the entire section.
• Deep Cleaning
  The staff are all very caring, doctor is knowledgeable and provide me with good suggestions and clear treatment plan. The hygienist was careful with the cleaning and gave good suggestions as well. They don't do things like some dental office suggesting deep cleaning whatsoever, they gave good treatment plan that suits your needs.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  There are two types of full dentures. Conventional full dentures are when all of the teeth are removed and the tissue is given time to heal. Once healed, the full set of dentures is placed. The time it takes for the tissue to heal could take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. During this time, the patient will go without teeth.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  A flipper tooth is a removable, temporary tooth replacement for patients who have lost a tooth due to disease or injury while they wait for their permanent implant. Flippers are very easy to pop in and out, which is particularly useful for keeping them clean. Another benefit to a dental flipper is that you can eat comfortably with it in!

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  If you lack confidence in your smile because of either excessive or uneven gum tissue, gum contouring is a great option for giving you healthier, more attractive gums. Gum contouring is a minimally invasive oral surgery procedure that gently trims and reshapes excess gum tissue, focusing only on areas where the gums extend too far over the teeth.
• Tooth Extractions
  Expressions such as “like getting teeth pulled” show what society at large believes about the dental extraction process, but that unpleasant mental image is a very outdated one. A modern dental practice such as Bridle Trails Family Dentistry has all the right tools to ensure that your extraction will be as comfortable as possible. It usually takes less than an hour, and with a local anesthetic and IV sedation, if necessary, the tooth can be painlessly removed.
• Bone Grafting
  Bone and gum tissue, when healthy, fit snugly around the roots of our teeth. Guided tissue regeneration helps to restore lost bone and give the support back to those roots, increasing the chances of a patient being able to keep their natural teeth. This procedure can involve bone grafting, tissue banks, or synthetic materials, with the goal of stimulating new bone growth.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
• Braces
  The day the braces come off is an amazing day for any orthodontic patient, but don’t get ahead of yourself, because now that you have the smile you’ve always wanted, you have to keep it. That means wearing your retainers as instructed by our doctors. The reason we need retainers in order to keep our teeth in their post-braces position is that it takes time for our teeth, gums, and jawbones to get used to this new arrangement. So don’t slack off on wearing your retainers!

General

• Teeth Whitening
  As the name suggests, internal bleaching is for the inside of the tooth. Normal whitening options, such as toothpaste, rinses, and whitening gels only affect the outside of the tooth. Internal bleaching can improve your oral health and restore that bright, happy smile!
• Cosmetic Dentistry
  Communication is vitally important in the smile makeover process, which is why at the first consultation we will listen intently to what you want to accomplish. We want to know what you would like and what you want for your smile. Once you’ve shared your goals, we will prepare a plan for treatment. Cosmetic dentistry offers an amazing array of lifelike tooth restorations and treatments.
