Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Depending on your child’s age, cleanings include brushing and flossing the teeth and gently polishing them with fluoride toothpaste. During the dental exam, your dentist checks for many things including the strength of the teeth, the health of the gums, how the child bites, and problematic oral conditions.
• X-rays
  Panoramic x-rays: This x-ray is used to view all of the teeth (primary and permanent) on one film. Both jaws, the temporomandibular joint and the sinuses are also seen. This film does not require anything to be put in the child’s mouth, which is helpful for a child who gags easily or has a small mouth.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Professional topical fluoride applications such as foams or varnishes are common after your dental cleaning at the dentist. They are administered by the dentist or dental clinician and are usually left on for a few minutes. These topical fluorides are normally applied right after a cleaning, which can make them more effective because they aren’t being blocked by a layer of bacteria. They are able to reach the “soft†areas or starts of cavities and help remineralize them!
• Fluoride Treatment
  The AAPD encourages fluoride treatments for children and states that professional fluoride treatments are beneficial and best utilized as part of a comprehensive preventive program developed by your dentist.
• Dental Sealants
  While applying to dental school, Dr. Justin worked as a dental assistant for a school-based fluoride and sealant program for the Boston Public Schools, where he first gained experience working with children. He learned the importance of making an impression on children at an early age in order to establish healthy lifelong dental habits.
• Space Maintainers
  When baby teeth are broken or damaged beyond repair, it may become necessary to remove them. If an extraction leaves a space between two teeth and we feel it is necessary, we may insert a space maintainer to make sure the adult teeth erupt in their proper space.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Crowns
  Periapical x-rays: These are used to view the entire crown and root of one or two adjacent teeth. This also shows the supporting bone around the teeth. This is often used to look for abscesses and gum disease.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  Orthognathic surgery is used to correct severe cases of jaw or teeth discrepancies that may include, bad bites, jaw abnormalities and malocclusion. If you need oral surgery, we will work closely with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to make sure you get the best care possible. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons specialize in treating complex craniofacial cases that involve the mouth, jaw, face, and skull. Orthognathic surgery will help properly align the jaw, and then orthodontic braces are used to move the teeth into their proper place.
• Jaw Surgery
  Your orthodontist or oral surgeon will let you know if orthognathic surgery is needed as part of your treatment plan. The severity of your case and alignment of your jaw will help determine if surgery is necessary.
• Tooth Extractions

General

• Teeth Whitening
  Unfortunately, your dental insurance company will only pay for a portion of your dental care and cosmetic procedures like whitening will not be covered. We can make no guarantee of any estimated coverage made by your insurance company, but we will see that you receive your maximum benefits. In the event your insurance benefits result in less coverage than anticipated, you will be responsible to pay the outstanding balance.
