Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  When you visit our office for the first time our exam and cleaning typically take 2 hours. Other typical appointments can be done in around an hour!
• X-rays
  Dental x-rays have been used since the early 1900s. Today, it is difficult to imagine a dental practice without them. Dental x-rays play an invaluable role for an accurate diagnosis of dental problems. They provide a clear picture for the dentist which is necessary to provide treatment. Dental x-rays reveal cavities between the teeth or hidden by fillings, infections in the bone, fractures, gum disease, abscesses, cysts, and tumors.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  We offer you a variety of advanced dental hygiene treatment and diagnosis options, including routine dental cleanings (Dental Prophylaxis) and deep cleanings (Scaling and Root Planing.)

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
• Veneers
  This makes veneers a very popular solution for many people seeking that perfect smile. Strong and very durable, veneers can last from ten to fifteen years, and come in colors that will brighten dark teeth without the worry of them changing color.
• Crowns
  Grinding your teeth, an improper bite, age, fillings and tooth decay can all be contributing factors in the wearing down, cracking or breakage of your teeth. Dental crowns cover the entire visible surface of your affected tooth and add strength, durability and tooth stability.
• Bridges
  A dental bridge is a false tooth, known as a pontic, which is fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth. This is known as a fixed bridge. This procedure is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Fixed bridges cannot be taken out of your mouth as you might do with removable partial dentures.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Dr. Dittman has specific passions for endodontics and conservative dentistry. He enjoys being able to serve central Wisconsin and the Marshfield community. It’s always his goal to provide his patients with the best dental care built specifically for them.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth typically made out of an acrylic resin which at times incorporate porcelain or metal for additional structural support. There are two main types of dentures. Both Complete Dentures and Partial Dentures are finely crafted and custom-fitted. If you properly maintain your dentures they will appear natural and provide an adequate replacement. Additionally, dentures help strengthen muscles controlling your expressions that require the support of your teeth, rid you of pronunciation problems caused by missing teeth and aid with chewing.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  A dental implant is a small “anchor” made of titanium that is inserted into the jawbone to take the place of a missing tooth root. After osseointegration (when the surrounding bone has healed to the implant), a replacement tooth is secured to the tip of the implant. This new tooth looks, feels and performs similar to natural teeth.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  Teeth whitening is used to correct discoloration of the teeth by removing the brown and yellow staining. Before the patient embarks on the home teeth whitening regimen, the dentist creates a custom mouth tray for the patient. The custom tray ensures that the correct amount of whitening solution is used and the patient’s teeth are properly exposed to the whitening solution. The custom mouth tray provides for a better fit than a one-size-fits-all mouth tray to help increase the margin of patient safety.
