Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, cheek tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Periodontal cleanings ), usually four times a year. At these cleaning appointments, the pocket depths will be carefully checked to ensure that they are healthy. Plaque and calculus that is difficult for you to remove on a daily basis will be removed from above and below the gum line.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Modern white fillings are a combination of a resin and nano-particles of glass. This combination gives white fillings their dental name; composite resins.
• Veneers
  Traditional porcelain veneers are constructed in a dental laboratory from precision models of your teeth made from impressions that your dentist takes as part of your treatment.
• Crowns
  The porcelain crown will be made to look like your natural teeth and will be permanently fixed into place.
• Bridges
  In areas of your mouth that are under less stress, such as your front teeth, a cantilever dental bridge may be used. A cantilever dental bridge is when the “false tooth” is only supported on one side. The result is just as aesthetic but has the benefit that fewer teeth have to be treated.
• Dental Bonding
  Cosmetic bonding can be used for a wide range of situations such as when a tooth is worn at its biting edge or where it meets your gum, when you have gaps between your teeth or where a tooth is an unusual shape. All these situations are very regularly treated using cosmetic bonding.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Once a cavity forms within a tooth, it needs to be treated quickly with a filling. If no treatment is done at that time, the cavity will continue to grow and become painful. A root canal is usually needed when the cavity has reached the nerve of the tooth. Should it be left untreated, it can lead to further pain and eventual loss of that tooth. Root canals are usually the last attempt at saving a tooth. Most people cringe at the mere mention of the words “root canal”, but the truth of the matter is that most root canals done at Lake Forest are absolutely painless using our local anesthesia techniques!

Periodontics

• Periodontal Surgery
  If the pockets do not heal after scaling and root planning, periodontal surgery may be needed to reduce pocket depths, making teeth easier to clean. Your family dentist may also recommend that you see a Periodontist (specialist of the gums and supporting bone).
• Deep Cleaning
  (deep cleaning) will be recommended. It is usually done one quadrant of the mouth at a time while the area is numb. In this procedure, tartar, plaque, and toxins are removed from above and below the gum line (

Prosthodontics
