- Dental ExaminationAs part of your routine dental exam, Dr. Kujak will conduct an oral cancer screening exam. More specifically, your he will feel for any lumps or irregular tissue changes in your neck, head, face, and oral cavity. When examining your mouth, Dr. Kujak will look for any sores or discolored tissue as well as check for any signs and symptoms mentioned above.

- Oral Cancer Screening
- Teeth CleaningRemoving calculus and other deposits on the teeth using hand-held dental instruments. Ultrasonic cleaning is a painless method that provides patients with a more thorough cleaning compared to a manual cleaning by hand. The tip of the scaler is thin. When held against the tooth, sound waves bounce off the tooth and cause the tartar and plaque to break up. The sound waves works so well that even hardened plaque, also called calculus, breaks up. The water coming from the scaler then washes the broken debris away. The tip of the scaler does not damage the enamel of the tooth as traditional hand-scaling methods. Using only the vibrations from the scaler, patients can expect a painless process.
- Dental SealantsDental sealants act as a barrier, protecting the teeth against decay-causing bacteria. A sealant is a plastic material that is usually applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth—premolars and molars. Sealants hold up well under the force of normal chewing and usually last several years before a reapplication is needed. During your regular dental visits, your dentist will check the condition of the sealants and reapply them when necessary.

- Root Canal TreatmentRoot canals allow the dentist to remove the nerve, clean the canal and seal the tooth. Effectively protecting and saving the tooth. After an opening is created through the crown of the tooth into the dental pulp chamber, the nerve is removed. The canal is cleaned out, and the pulp chamber is permanently filled. The dentist will proceed by putting in a temporary filling. Afterwards, the temporary filling will be replaced with a permanent filling or a crown, depending on the location of the tooth within the mouth.
- Deep CleaningScaling and root planing is a careful cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and tartar from deep periodontal pockets and to smooth the tooth root to remove bacterial toxins. This procedure is one of the most effective ways to treat gum disease before it becomes severe. You may be a candidate for scaling and root planning if your gums have started to pull away from your teeth or the roots of the teeth have tartar deposits on them.
- DenturesWhen it becomes necessary to have all your teeth removed, complete or full dentures may be necessary. Having complete dentures will help with chewing as well as supporting one’s facial structure and improving speech.
- Dental ImplantsIf you have lost or missing teeth you may wish to consider a dental implant. A dental implant is a metal device designed to replace missing teeth. The device is usually made out of titanium and is surgically placed into the jawbone where the tooth is missing.
