Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  During your first dental exam we will perform a comprehensive wellness visit with a comfortable cleaning (in the absence of periodontal disease), x-rays, and a personalized comprehensive screening on your overall gum health. At this visit we will be watching for signs of decay and other common dental problems as well as overall gum health. Remember we’ve got you covered with all the routine services you need to prevent and resolve tooth decay and maintain healthy, beautiful teeth all year long as well as all the comprehensive dental treatment you may need going forward.
• X-rays

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  A dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from a dentist or dental hygienist. Most dental cleanings take only between 25 and 30 minutes. Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. Routine dental cleaning should include scaling, root planing, and polishing.
• Fluoride Treatment
  Do not eat or drink for 30 minutes after your appointment, and avoid coffee, tea, and dark liquids for 6 hours. The longer you can go without eating or drinking, the better your fluoride treatment will work on your teeth. After 6 hours, you don’t need to avoid any food or drinks.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  First, we prepare the tooth by roughening its surface to ensure the bonding material adheres securely. A gel is applied to micro-etch the surface, followed by a primer that helps the composite resin bond effectively.
• Veneers
  Veneers are a dental procedure in which a covering is placed over the outside (visible area) of the tooth. Veneers are usually only done to the part of the teeth that are visible when talking or smiling.
• Crowns
  Kathy is a delightful, competent, kind dental professional. Pleased with all the services I have had from cleanings to crowns. Work is painless. Thank you for your service.
• Bridges
  Crowns and bridges are used to restore and enhance teeth that are damaged, or to take the place of missing teeth. A crown, also referred to as a cap, is used to entirely cover a damaged tooth. A crown not only strengthens a tooth, but it can dramatically improve a tooth’s appearance, shape and alignment.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Root canal treatment (also referred to as root canal therapy or endodontic therapy) is made necessary when a cavity is allowed, through neglect, to reach all the way to the pulp. (Regular cleanings and checkups prevent and detect problems early).

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. There are two types of dentures available, including partial and complete dentures. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, while complete dentures are used to completely replace all teeth. Dentures are made to resemble your natural teeth so there should be no noticeable change to your appearance. In fact, dentures may even improve your smile!

Implants

• Dental Implants
  A dental implant is an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth as a result of injury, periodontal disease, or any other reason. A dental implant is a metal post that a periodontist or oral surgeon surgically positions into the jaw. Once in place and bone surrounding the implant has had time to heal, a replacement tooth is attached to the post.
