- Dental ExaminationThen, Dr. Scott or Dr. Olson will perform an oral exam and review your child’s x-rays to look for hidden oral health issues. If everything looks good, you’ll simply schedule their next six-month checkup. But if we’ve noticed an issue, we’ll discuss a treatment plan. Our team will make sure they get the necessary follow-up care your little one needs to restore their oral health.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningWe offer oral cancer screening as part of every checkup at Glen Lake Family Dentistry. Oral cancer is rare, but its early stages often go undetected unless a dentist in Minnetonka notices it. As part of your appointment, Dr. Scott or Dr. Olson will look for lesions, abnormalities, and other potential signs of oral cancer. This gives you valuable peace of mind. And, in the rare event that we notice something out of the ordinary, you can get help right away.
- Teeth CleaningSix-month teeth cleanings are an essential part of preventive dentistry. One of our dental hygienists will gently remove plaque from your teeth, polish them, and floss them to remove any debris or food particles.
- Fluoride TreatmentQuality preventive care is the foundation for a healthy mouth. With regular cleanings, exams, fluoride treatments, and more, we can help you keep your whole family smiling for years to come.
- Dental SealantsDental sealants are usually used on the back teeth, since they’re more cavity-prone. Dr. Scott or Dr. Olson will apply a thin layer of liquid resin, which they will harden with a UV light. This creates a strong, transparent barrier on your teeth to help prevent cavities.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeDental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are typically made from porcelain or composite resin, closely mimicking tooth enamel’s natural appearance. These shells are bonded to your teeth to enhance their shape, size, color, or length.
- VeneersChipped or worn teeth can result from everyday wear and tear, accidents, or habits like teeth grinding. Veneers can restore damaged teeth’ natural shape and appearance, providing a seamless and durable solution.
- CrownsDental crowns are hollow, tooth-shaped caps made of durable porcelain, designed to fit over a damaged tooth. Once a crown is in place, it will look, feel, and function like a real tooth. Crowns also protect your remaining tooth structure, which helps keep it healthy and prevent further damage. If you think you may have a damaged tooth in Minnetonka and need a dental crown, contact Glen Lake Family Dentistry for a consultation today.
- BridgesMissing teeth can lead to bone loss and changes in facial structure. Dental bridges help maintain the natural shape of your face.
- Dental BondingDental bonding uses dental resin to reshape your teeth and enhance your appearance. This is similar to the material used for composite, tooth-colored dental fillings. Bonding can correct things like misshapen teeth, minor chips, and uneven teeth. It usually takes only about 30-60 minutes per tooth, and is very affordable, too.
- Restorative DentistryRestoring your smile has never been more straightforward with restorative dentistry. If you have missing, cracked, or chipped teeth, restorative dentistry can help fix your smile! We provide services such as fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures.
- Root Canal Treatment
- DenturesPartial dentures are another great option if you’re missing a few of your teeth. They consist of one or more false teeth. These attach to a framework that snaps onto your remaining healthy teeth. Even if you’re on a tight budget, partial dentures are a good option for restoring your smile, your bite, and your confidence after tooth loss.
