Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  From a routine exam and cleaning to full-mouth rehabilitation, locally owned Smile Generators P.C. is equipped to handle all of your dental needs. To help you understand more about our office, we have included brief descriptions of some of our most common services on this page.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  This will be followed by a thorough clinical examination, including an oral cancer screening, periodontal evaluation, an analysis of your occlusion (bite) plus a thorough examination of your teeth, their supporting structures, and the complete orofacial area. Any needed diagnostic dental films will be taken at this time.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  To maintain your optimal oral health, we recommend periodic professional dental cleanings. Removing plaque and debris from teeth, especially from places where a toothbrush can’t reach, such as underneath the gum line and in-between teeth, is extremely important.
• Dental Sealants
  Following that, we will make recommendations as to what areas require improvements and instruct you in the proper methods of brushing and flossing. Additional preventive services may be indicated for individual patients. An integral part of our preventive program for pediatric patients includes the application of dental sealants.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Newer dental-filling materials offer the benefits of being both mercury and metal-free as well as much more aesthetic. These “tooth-colored or white fillings” invisibly restore the form and function of the involved tooth, while seamlessly blending in with the remaining tooth structure as well as the individual’s overall smile.
• Veneers
  Veneers — Porcelain veneers, sometimes called tooth veneers, can be used to correct both color and shape problems and make for a great smile makeover. Strong and very durable, veneers last from ten to fifteen years, and come in colors that will brighten dark teeth without the worry of them changing color.
• Crowns
  The terms dental crowns and caps are synonymous. The only way to completely restore the cosmetic appearance and function of damage to the underlying tooth structure is often full coverage with a dental crown. The completed dental crown looks and feels like a natural tooth. Crowns can also be used in other situations, including...
• Bridges
  Fixed Bridges — A fixed bridge replaces a missing tooth or teeth. It is called a fixed bridge because it is not removable. A bridge is a structure, supported by teeth on either side of a space. It spans the gap between teeth, just as a bridge spans a river. The base or framework is made of precious or non-precious metal to which tooth-colored porcelain is fused.
• Dental Bonding
  Bonding — The dental bonding procedure utilizes a composite resin and is used for a variety of structural as well as cosmetic purposes. One can draw a parallel between dental bonding materials and a sculptor’s clay. By using dental composite resin bonding your dentist can restore chipped or broken teeth, fill in gaps and reshape or recolor your smile.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Smile Generators does not provide endodontics, or root canal therapy. We can refer you to an endodontist should you request root canal treatment.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Partial or full dentures can be fabricated to restore an attractive smile, provide needed support for normal facial contours and reestablish a highly functional occlusion.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  The All-On-6 technique creates a comfortable and stable full set of upper and / or lower teeth using six strategically placed specialized dental implants. It provides a fixed and permanent method of reestablishing a complete set of teeth. These implants offer a less invasive and quicker way to restore a full upper or lower set of teeth than treatment with conventional dental implants.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Tooth Extractions
• Bone Grafting
  This remarkable technique requires only four implants in either the upper or lower jaw to support all of the replacement teeth for that dental arch. This procedure avoids the need for additional bone grafting procedures and provides the instant gratification of a full set of temporary teeth on the same day as the initial procedure. These new permanent replacement teeth are completely secure and stable and function in a similar fashion as natural teeth.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Orthodontics utilizes the principles of physics to slowly move teeth into their proper positions. This is performed by using a selection of corrective appliances, including braces, clear aligners and retainers. Designed to apply incremental and controlled forces to move the teeth in the desired direction, these appliances are adjusted on a regular basis throughout the course of care. Once a malocclusion is corrected and the teeth are completely aligned, retainers are often placed to help ensure that the result remains stable.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Invisalign — Invisalign has changed the face of orthodontics. Instead of wires attached to your teeth, your teeth can now be straightened invisibly. They’re clear, so you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing. They’re removable, so you can eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene. Their process has been proven effective in clinical research and in orthodontic practices nationwide. However, only a certified dentist like ours can undertake this procedure.
• Braces
  Braces — The most common form of orthodontic treatment is the installation of dental braces that help straighten teeth, remove gaps and correct overbites. Braces are often used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances such as headgear and expansion appliances to influence the growth of teeth in younger patients. Retainers are often worn to help ensure teeth remain in their new position after braces have been removed.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  Teeth Whitening — Whitening of the teeth is performed for patients who desire a brighter smile. Tooth whitening can be performed to reduce discoloration and staining, or simply to provide the patient with whiter, brighter teeth. Teeth whitening is used to correct discoloration of the teeth by removing the brown and yellow staining. The term “teeth whitening” can refer to a number of techniques to improve the brightness of the patient’s teeth. Among them are chemical whitening, mild acid whitening, abrasive teeth brightening and the newest technique, laser teeth whitening.
