- Teeth CleaningThe most important part of maintaining a healthy smile is routine dental cleanings and check-ups. We recommend patients receive a professional cleaning every 6 months. These cleanings/check-ups allow the doctor to verify that the gums are healthy and to find and fix small cavities before they become painful toothaches or result in further problems. Maintaining good oral hygiene can result in a cavity free check-up and a healthy smile.
- Fillings
- VeneersA veneer is a cosmetic facing that is placed on the front of the tooth to give it a more pleasing esthetic appearance. This can be done in one appointment or two. The results are usually a little better with the two appointment procedure because a laboratory will fabricate the veneer to your exact desire and specifications.
- Crowns"I was referred by a friend, Thank you! Shelly.The receptionist Jennifer very patient with clients
- BridgesDove Dental is proud to offer crowns and bridges. Bridges are somewhat of an extension of crowns in that two crowns are used to support a false tooth or teeth to accommodate a missing tooth or teeth. A bridge is essentially created to rectify a gap in the teeth.
- Root Canal TreatmentA root canal becomes a necessary procedure when the nerve or the pulp of the tooth is damaged, but the tooth is still intact enough to be saved. After removal of the root and pulp, the tooth is prepared for a permanent crown to save the outer portion of the tooth and retain placement, structure and alignment resulting in little disruption to the mouth.
- Dental ImplantsWe will provide the restorative work of placing the post and adjusting the crown to fit the implant. Implants are necessary when a tooth is missing and the patient wants a single replacement crown in its place as long as the patient is a surgical candidate for placement of the post.
- BracesOften, braces are needed to correct dental issues. Dr. Dove has completed over 300 hours of orthodontic education in order to provide the best possible care to each patient that he evaluates and treats. Recommendations are presented and the patient and doctor together decide on an orthodontic treatment plan.
- Teeth WhiteningAs this is becoming a popular procedure with patients today, we utilize a home whitening process that is comfortable and predictable. Most important is that it can be used to maintain the shade that you are happy with.
