Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Have you see one of our doctors who will do a comprehensive examination of your mouth and determine what type of cleaning is best for you. If we can, we will do our best to clean your teeth that day. The doctor will also help you create your own individual treatment plan, and answer any questions that you may have. Take X-rays of your teeth and mouth
• X-rays
  Lakewood Family Dentistry likes to keep current x-rays of your teeth to better monitor the condition of your teeth and bones in an attempt to reduce the chances of future problems. Our comprehensive exams utilize dental x-rays that are taken with a protective shield with a thyroid collar.  We will meticuluously examine each tooth, your soft tissue and gum condition and provide you with an assessment of your dental condition along with options of treatment available in our office.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Oral cancer includes cancers of the lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, hard and soft palate, sinuses, and throat. One of the many benefits of annual to semi-annual dental care is the oral cancer screening performed by your caring

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  The American Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings to keep your teeth and gums healthy. We understand that you have a busy schedule, so when you’re preparing to visit the dentist please remember that your appointments can last between 45 and 90 minutes.
• Dental Sealants
  Sealants cover the pits and fissures in teeth that are difficult to brush and therefore susceptible to decay. We recommend sealants as a safe, simple way to help your child avoid cavities, especially for permanent molars, which are hardest to reach.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  Porcelain dental veneers typically require multiple consultations and appointments with our dental team. The number of visits directly correlates with the severity of your dental problems. Single or multiple teeth can be prepared and receive porcelain veneers simultaneously.
• Crowns
  Knocked-Out-Tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, and rinse off the root of the tooth in water if it’s dirty. Do not scrub it or remove any attached tissue fragments. If possible gently insert and hold the tooth in it’s socket. If that isn’t possible, put the tooth in a cup of milk and get to the dentist as quickly as possible. Don’t forget to take the tooth with you!
• Bridges
  What are dental implants and how do they work? Dental implants are an artificial root that is permanently secured to your jawbone or gum. Implant post or roots can be used to hold one or several teeth. Dental implants can be used in place of bridges and partial dentures. Dental implants are natural looking and can feel like your original tooth. Dental implants do not require surrounding teeth to hold them in place as is the case with dental bridges.
• Dental Bonding
• Restorative Dentistry
  If you have teeth that were broken by trauma or damaged by decay, our dental team will try to repair or save your teeth through use of restorative dentistry such as fillings or crowns. If your teeth are damaged beyond repair, it may be necessary to extract those teeth. However, damaged teeth are not the only teeth requiring surgical extraction, the most common teeth extracted are wisdom teeth.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  A root canal treatment may sometimes be required if a tooth has been painful or has an indication of decay extending too deep toward the nerve chamber inside the tooth.  Dr. Long and Dr. Rold perform root canal treatments on many anterior and premolar teeth but refer patients to endodontists (root canal specialists) for root canal treatment of teeth that are molars or have higher difficulty levels. We feel that this referral is in the best interest of our patients.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  If you have lost some or all of your teeth due to gum disease, decay or accidental impact, dentures can dramatically improve your smile. A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Our
