Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Not every problem has the same solution, which is why we’re only able to determine the cost of your dental emergency treatment once we’ve conducted a thorough oral examination and outlined a treatment plan. At Wauwatosa Dental Arts, we make sure to keep all of our patients in-the-loop and discuss (in detail) the treatment plans we recommend, their price, and any dental coverage that may apply to you. If you have any questions, never hesitate to ask us!
• X-rays
  The American Dental Association and dentists everywhere recommend scheduling a checkup and cleaning appointment every six months to ensure that your gums and teeth remain healthy. During these appointments, we’ll collect dental X-rays and conduct a thorough examination of your mouth in search of any oral health problems. If we do find anything suspicious, we’ll let you know and suggest a treatment plan to take care of the issue. Before you leave, we’ll professionally clean and polish your teeth so you can leave the dental office feeling refreshed and healthy.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  The word cancer scares us all, but the more informed we are about this disease, the easier it is to protect ourselves and our loved ones against it. This is particularly true for oral cancer, which may not show any visible symptoms until it has progressed to an advanced form, but is easily treatable when detected in early stages. That is why, at the dental office of Dental Arts, we offer regular oral cancer screenings as a part of the dental examination for all of our patients.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  If you’re not planning to file on your dental insurance, an average dental checkup and teeth cleaning visit can cost between $200-$300 in the United States. Because of the extensive process that is required to examine your mouth, take digital images, and thoroughly clear away any accumulated plaque and tartar, it’s necessary that dental offices charge what they do.
• Fluoride Treatment
  Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that’s produced by rocks and found in water, air, and even fresh fruits and vegetables. Your body uses it to strengthen the enamel of your teeth, which is their outermost, protective layer. While fluoride is added to items like water and oral hygiene products, if you don’t drink tap water or aren’t consuming enough of it naturally, you could be at a higher risk of developing decay. In these cases, we may suggest our fast, easy, and completely painless fluoride treatments when you visit us for checkups and cleanings.
• Dental Sealants
  Tooth decay is a common occurrence in children. It is not only a painful and unpleasant condition, but could also cause more serious problems such as gum disease and tooth loss. Dental sealants are a thin coating of plastic which are applied on the rough surfaces of a child’s back teeth to shield the enamel from cavity-causing bacteria.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Our tooth-colored fillings are made from a putty-like substance known as composite resin. This material can be custom-shaded to match the color of your enamel, making them practically unnoticeable when you smile or laugh. Due to the biocompatible nature of the material, the resin is able to chemically bond with your natural enamel, which eliminates many of the problems that we see with older, metal fillings, like leaking that leads to infections. When you need to treat a cavity at Wauwatosa Dental Arts, you can expect to receive the most advanced and effective treatment with a tooth-colored filling.

When worn 20-22 hours each day for 1-2 weeks at a time, you will notice your pearly whites moving in the desired direction, creating a more pleasing aesthetic and properly functioning smile.
