Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Maybe you haven’t been to a dentist in a long time, or maybe they thought of enduring a dental exam as stressful. Whether you need a checkup or a new dentist or have a tooth that hurts, we encourage you to make an appointment.
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening
  In this case, a surgeon may remove a tiny bit of tissue from somewhere in the mouth and test it. If your oral cancer screening reveals cause for concern, we may do a biopsy next.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning

Restorative

• Fillings
  If you are looking for tooth-colored fillings, silver amalgam fillings, tooth-colored composite materials, dental filling materials, or tooth-colored composite resin, reach out to our team at Dentist Mankato today.
• Resin Composite
  Once we diagnose the cavity, we can remove the decay and fill in the hole with a composite filling. These are fillings that look more natural than the old, darker materials you may be familiar with. We also use composite resin to repair damaged and misshapen teeth.
• Veneers
  Veneers are dental restorations that are affordable and very easy to get. They have a thin structure, which protects the integrity of your teeth, as well as other components. They consist of a shell of tooth-colored materials that improve all your teeth’s appearance and quality.
• Crowns
  Sometimes, however, the tooth might still be weak even after sufficient cavity filling. In such a case, the dentist should add a crown to help give the tooth strength while maintaining shape and aesthetics.
• Bridges
  As compared to other procedures such as dental bridges where replacement options require your other teeth to be reshaped, implants only work on the site of the missing tooth. This preservation of your natural teeth improves your overall oral health.
• Dental Bonding
  This dental procedure is a process that involves applying tooth colored material to your teeth to improve their appearance instantly. The best point about this operation is that your teeth revert to their original structure when the material is polished away. This process can improve the shape and close spaces between the front teeth. This is often used to change the color of a person’s teeth or to cover any imperfections someone may have on their teeth.
• Restorative Dentistry
  Even if you have never received extensive dental treatment, you may have heard about dental implants. As one of the most innovative offerings in restorative dentistry, implants hold a revered status within dental care.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Toothaches make you miserable and make you worry about losing a tooth. We help our toothache patients by assessing the situation and performing a root canal. Removing the soft tissue, the pulp, inside the tooth eliminates the nerve that causes so much pain.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  In the past, you needed to take a mold, send the mold to a lab, fit a temporary crown, then call a patient back for their regular crown. We don’t do that here. We can measure your tooth and create a crown in one day. Finally, if you need full or partial dentures, we can help.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Orthodontics is the type of dentistry used to help correct teeth and jaw positions that may lead to more serious issues. However, by simply improving the position of the teeth, you can reap several benefits.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  The most common clear braces would be the Invisalign braces popularized by Invisalign way back in the 2000s’. Clear aligners are popular among adults and children who wore braces when younger and patients who don’t have significant dental issues of crowded teeth or overbites.
• Braces
  Braces are dental devices used to correct dental issues like misaligned and crowded teeth and crowding. These tools exert pressure on your teeth and move in the right direction over time. Bones in the jaw will change as pressure takes effect, which causes teeth and their roots to move. When put on and adjusted, braces straighten teeth and ensure that you have a well-aligned bite. In addition to correcting bites, braces also help with overall oral hygiene by preventing gingivitis, decay, and tooth loss because well-aligned teeth are easier to clean, as are gums.
