Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  We truly believe that regular dental examinations are important in order for your child to have good dental health and a smile of which he or she can be proud. We start by doing a professional cleaning, removing all of the bad tartar and other buildup on your child’s teeth.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Here at the office of Michael L. Gordon, DMD, we are proud to offer dental cleanings to our patients. We recommend routine dental cleanings for several reasons. When we perform a professional cleaning, we remove the buildup of plaque and tartar. We also clean the parts of your child’s teeth that are hard to reach, such as underneath the gums.
• Fluoride Treatment
  After a cleaning, we will polish your child’s teeth so that they shine! We can also apply a fluoride treatment, if necessary, to help prevent tooth decay.
• Dental Sealants
  Here at the office of Michael L. Gordon, DMD, we are proud to offer the very best dental care to our patients. We are proud to offer sealants for this reason.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Dental fillings are used to treat different dental problems like cavities and broken teeth. Teeth are usually filled with a material called composite resin, which is designed to look like natural teeth. Fillings can also be done with gold, porcelain, or silver amalgam.
• Crowns
  A tooth can lose its normal shape and size for a variety of reasons. A crown covers the tooth to help restore its original shape and size. Crowns can also be used to make teeth stronger and look better.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Endodontics is a specialized form of dentistry that deals with the dental pulp in the center of teeth. Usually if your child needs endodontic work, you would have to take him or her to a specialist instead of being treated by a regular dentist. That is why we are proud to be able to help our patients by offering specialized endodontic procedures!

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Crowns have a variety of uses. In some cases that require a large filling, there isn’t enough tooth remaining to keep the filling in place. A crown can strengthen the tooth and hold the filling. Crowns can also protect teeth that are weak, or help fix ones that are broken. Discolored or misshaped teeth can be covered by a crown, as can dental implants.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Tooth Extractions
  Here at the office of Michael L. Gordon, DMD, we are proud to offer tooth extractions to our patients. Tooth extractions can be necessary for many reasons. Some teeth are too diseased to save. There are times when a tooth is too damaged. We might also remove teeth if your child’s mouth is overcrowded.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  The American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) recommends that children visit an orthodontist as soon as their dentist notices that there might be a problem or before they are seven years old. We may not have to do anything at this age, other than monitor the child’s mouth. However, if we continue to watch your child, we can start treatment right away!
• Braces
  The earlier we catch problems with your child’s bite, the simpler they are to fix. The results are often better than if we wait and require less work. We may not need to keep braces on your child for as long when they are younger, which means less expense for you.
