Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Once all your questions have been answered, we will begin our diagnostic process with digital radiographs. These digital films help the dentists visualize the teeth and surrounding oral structures that cannot be seen with a simple oral examination. Our hygiene staff will then gently clean and educate you on your dental condition. We will discuss any oral care issues you might have and enlighten you on any interactions with your current medicines and how they affect your dental health. The doctors will welcome themselves and begin their exam process. If needed, treatment will be scheduled or time will be set aside to return to discuss any recommended care.
• X-rays

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Many deep dental cleanings are necessary to treat gum disease, along with protecting the rest of your teeth from suffering. Your dentist will remove the tartar and plaque from your gum line, along with polishing your tooth enamel to improve your dental health.
• Fluoride Treatment
  When you come in for a dental cleaning, our team will first give your teeth and gums a thorough examination. We will check your teeth and gums for any signs of irritation or sores and take notes for our dentist. We may also take x-rays just to make sure that your entire mouth and facial structure is healthy. We will then clean your smile through the process of scaling. Scaling is the process of removing hardened tartar off of the surface of the teeth. This can only be done using specific tools at our office, so it is essential that you visit us every six months. Our team will then thoroughly floss in between your teeth to remove any remaining debris. Last, we will polish your teeth so they look and feel great. We may follow up your cleaning with a fluoride treatment to provide your smile with an added layer of protection against future dental decay.
• Dental Sealants
  Start flossing more frequently! You’ll be rewarded with fresher breath, reduced cavities, and an increased confidence in your smile. Of course, don’t forget to schedule twice-yearly appointments with the best dentist in Mentor, OH as well. We’ll clean your teeth, apply fluoride and sealants if necessary, and provide you with more flossing tips that are catered to your teeth.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Filings are a common procedure at Erieview Dental, especially ones made from composite resin. There are several advantages to using these over the silver amalgam options...
• Veneers
  Dental veneers are thin custom-made shells that cover the surface of your tooth to improve their appearance, whether it’s because of discoloration, spaces, chips, or breaks. They’re made to look natural to the rest of your smile while also improving the shape and/or size of your teeth. Veneers are meant to last longer than bonding, depending on what type of veneers that you receive. Discuss with your dentist at Erieview Dental to see if this procedure is best for your dental care.
• Crowns
  A dental crown is the chosen procedure for when a patient’s tooth is broken or decayed to the point where fillings are not the solution. The crown provides a protective shell around the injured tooth to strengthen it, as well as improving its appearance to make it look natural once again. The different types of crowns depend on the individual patient because each case is unique and should be thoroughly discussed with your dentist.
• Bridges
  A dental bridge is a false tooth that’s used to fill the gap because of a missing tooth or missing teeth. The reason for filling this space is because your dental health is at a much higher risk without your teeth in that spot. Your gums are vulnerable, the shape of your teeth may shift, and your jaw can begin losing its strength, as well.
• Dental Bonding
  Dental bonding is a restoration procedure where a tooth-colored resin is bonded to a tooth to improve a cosmetic dental issue; some of these issues are repairing chipped or broken teeth, closing spaces between teeth, changing their shape, and more! Bonding is a faster procedure that can be done in one dental visit. Call our office to see if dental bonding is the right procedure for you.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Sharp, stinging pains can occur for several reasons, one of the most common being dental sensitivity. The surface of your teeth, also known as your enamel, may be thinned and weakened, which exposes the nerves of your teeth. If these nerves encounter something that’s too hot or too cold, it’ll send a sharp pain throughout your mouth, bringing you discomfort. If you’re unable to enjoy eating or drinking, please let us know right away. There could also be an infection within your tooth that needs to be taken care of with a root canal treatment.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Fortunately, there are several options when it comes to replacing missing teeth. Whether you go with a dental implant or denture, it’s possible to get your smile back to the way it looked before losing your tooth.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Dental implants can be an excellent option for any patient who has experienced tooth loss or severe dental decay. While many people understand the benefits of dental implants, they may not know if it would be the right treatment for their smile. Every smile is unique, so our team can help you better understand which dental treatment would best suit your specific needs.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Not only can a malocclusion cause problems such as crossbites or underbites, it also results in a lot of unnecessary jaw strain, problems chewing, and can even lead to a higher risk of developing tooth decay.
