Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Studies have revealed that there is a connection between oral health and overall health. In fact, regular dental checkups can even help lower your risk for issues like heart disease and stroke. It might sound crazy, but many medical conditions can be detected in a routine oral examination.
• X-rays
  We want our new patient experience to be as pleasant as possible for our patients. One step in the right direction is our new patient’s having the right tools when coming to our office for the first time. Using the links below please download the new patient paperwork and bring it with you to your first appointment. Also, if you have current dental x-rays they are of great help to our clinical staff and will prevent any out of pocket your insurance company may charge you for repeat x-rays. The directions to our office are provided below. Please don’t hesitate to contact us prior to your appointment should you have any questions. We sincerely look forward to having you as a patient at Railroad dental Associates.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Our staff takes great pride in helping patients live a happy and healthy lifestyle. There’s nothing more important to us than your comfort and health. If you’re still skeptical about coming to the dentist, here are just a few of the many benefits to regular dental cleanings.
• Fluoride Treatment
• Dental Sealants
  Sometimes brushing is not enough. Everyone has hard-to-reach spots in their mouth and brushing doesn’t always fully clean those difficult places. When that happens, you are at risk of tooth decay. Using sealants on your teeth gives you an extra line of defense against tooth decay.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Tooth bonding can also be used for teeth fillings instead of amalgam fillings. Many patients prefer bonding fillings because the white color is much less noticeable than the silver amalgam fillings. Bonding fillings can be used on front and back teeth depending on the location and extent of tooth decay.
• Veneers
  Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials (such as porcelain) designed to cover the front side of your teeth. To prepare for veneers, your doctor will create a unique model of your teeth. This model is sent to the dental technician to create your veneers. Before placing your new veneer, your doctor will remove a small amount of your tooth to make room for the veneer.
• Crowns
  Crowns are a cosmetic restoration used to improve your tooth’s shape or to strengthen a tooth. Crowns are most often used for teeth that are broken, worn, or have portions destroyed by tooth decay.
• Bridges
  A dental bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth. Not the same as Dentures, Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap. These two or more anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth and a false tooth/teeth in between. Your bridge can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for support.
• Dental Bonding
  Bonding is a cosmetic dentistry service we offer to repair slightly chipped, discolored, or crooked teeth. During dental bonding, a white filling is placed onto your tooth to improve its appearance. The filling “bonds” with your teeth, and because it comes in a variety of tooth-colored shades it closely matches the appearance of your natural teeth.
• Restorative Dentistry

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Most of the time a root canal is a relatively simple procedure with little or no discomfort, involving one to three visits. Best of all, it can save your tooth and your smile!

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  Scaling and root planning: This procedure uses an ultrasonic cleaning device to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth in which traditional cleaning devices cannot reach (under the gum line and around the root). The rough surface of the tooth and root are then smoothed; providing a healthy, clean surface for the gum tissue to reattach to the tooth.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Two types of dentures are available — complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Prevents dental problems: Regular dental check-ups and cleanings can prevent dental problems before they start. Dental professionals can spot early signs of gum disease, cavities, and oral cancer, and take steps to prevent these issues from becoming worse. This might save you from having to get dental implants at a young age.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  At Railroad Dental Associates we’ll take care of all your dental needs as we’re able to offer everything from Sedation Dentistry, Pediatric Dentistry, Oral Surgery procedures, Emergency Dental, and Periodontist services.
• Flap Surgery
  During pocket reduction procedures (also known as “flap surgery”), we’ll move the gum tissue back to remove the bacteria and hardened plaque and tartar. If necessary we will remove any dead or damaged tissue that can no longer survive. We’ll then sews the healthy tissue back into place so the gums can reattach to the teeth.
• Tooth Extractions
  There are times when a tooth extraction is necessary. Sometimes a baby tooth has misshapen or long roots that prevent it from falling out as it should, and the tooth must be removed to make way for the permanent tooth to erupt. At other times, a tooth may have so much decay that it puts the surrounding teeth and jaw at risk of decay, so your doctor may recommend removal and replacement with a bridge or implant. Infection, orthodontic correction, or problems with a wisdom tooth can also require removal of a tooth.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  From general preventive dental care to cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery, fillings and crowns, and implants, our dentists are experts in all areas of dental care. We are committed to ongoing training in the latest techniques, our office features state-of-the-art equipment and technology, and we strictly observe all Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines on patient safety and sterilization.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor’s office getting adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
• Braces
  Yes! In fact, it’s even more important that patients receiving orthodontic treatment visit their dentist regularly. With braces, food may be caught in places that your toothbrush can’t reach. This causes bacteria to build up and can lead to cavities, gingivitis, and gum disease. Your dentist will work closely with your orthodontist to make sure that your teeth stay clean and healthy while wearing braces.
