Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  You’ll first be greeted by our friendly front desk team as you walk in, and they’ll quickly help you organize your paperwork and insurance information. From there, they’ll escort you to the back where you’ll meet Dr. Antoon. He’ll take a few moments to learn about your dental history, concerns, and goals before performing a comprehensive exam. Afterward, he’ll share his findings with you and discuss any additional treatments you might need. Once you feel satisfied, you’ll receive a thorough cleaning and then be escorted back to the front desk.
• X-rays
  Your restorative dentist in Plano will assess your affected tooth and surrounding gums, plus take dental X-rays. You will have the option to choose between nitrous oxide and IV sedation to keep you comfortable. Next, local anesthesia will be given to numb the tooth and surrounding gum tissue.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Once your cleaning is complete, Dr. Antoon will perform a thorough examination of your teeth and oral structures, looking for issues like tooth decay, weakened enamel, broken or malfunctioning dental work, and other oral health problems. A quick and painless oral cancer screening will also occur. If any issues are detected, we will put together a treatment plan to get your smile back on track ASAP — and if not, we will look forward to seeing you in six months!

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  “Dr. Sam Antoon. Is an AMAZING Dentist...I have been a patient of Dr. Sam Antoon for more than 5 years...I love having my Dental Cleaning every 2 months....I love taking care of my dental needs and I love that my teeth are clean & white!...”
• Fluoride Treatment
  The mineral, fluoride, is well-known for its oral health benefits. Most tap water sources in the United States have been treated with it, and every toothpaste that is approved by the American Dental Association will contain it. A topical fluoride treatment applied after a checkup and cleaning will strengthen your tooth enamel, remineralize it, and help to protect your teeth from the acids and bacteria they will encounter until your next appointment.
• Dental Sealants
  No one likes getting cavities. You have to take time out of your busy schedule to attend a separate appointment to get a filling. That’s why, at Antoon Family Dental, we do our utmost to educate our patients on how to keep their smiles healthy by preventing cavities. Regular checkups and cleanings coupled with at-home oral hygiene can go a long way in avoiding tooth decay. But what if there were an extra way to give your smile a boost of cavity protection? Fortunately, there is—with a treatment called dental sealants. Keep reading to learn more about what dental sealants are and how they can benefit you or your child’s oral health.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Direct bonding is a great solution to achieving the smile of your dreams. Not only does it provide aesthetic benefits, but it can also improve your oral health as well. You can treat cavities using a biocompatible solution. The same material used for direct bonding can also be used as an alternative to amalgam fillings. It can also repair chipped, cracked, and minorly damaged teeth to save them from extraction.
• Resin Composite
  These quality results are due to the fillings’ material – composite resin. Made from plastic and glass, this substance is metal-free and fairly safe. Tooth-colored fillings, then, don’t cause the allergies associated with metal ones.
• Veneers
  Do you have permanently stained enamel or visible chips in your smile? Is there a small gap between your two front teeth? If so, we may be able to help you create your dream smile! At Antoon Family Dental, Dr. Sam Antoon offers high-quality veneers to cover up cosmetic imperfections that take away from the beauty of your pearly whites. To learn more about how we can make aesthetic flaws disappear with veneers in Plano, give us a call! We'd be happy to answer your questions and get you started with an initial consultation.
• Crowns
  If you only have a small cavity, then a tooth-colored filling is often enough to fully repair it. However, a tooth with a significant cavity might require something more. Dr. Sam Antoon often recommends a dental crown in this situation. Dental crowns in Plano, TX, are an incredibly versatile solution that can restore the structure and function of damaged or decayed teeth, all while looking 100% natural.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Does drinking iced tea or hot coffee have you agonizing in pain? Maybe one of your teeth has simply been hurting constantly for a while now. In either case, it would seem you are dealing with an infection inside the dental pulp – the bundle of nerve endings located at the center of your tooth. Since this area is so sensitive, it can cause discomfort to the degree that it interferes with your daily life. Hope is not lost, however, because here at Antoon Family Dental we want nothing more than to relieve your tooth pain through restoration and give you a reason to smile once again. Contact us so Dr. Antoon can get you back on track with root canal treatment in Plano!

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  Gum disease is incredibly common with nearly half of American adults showing signs of the condition. Scaling and root planing is a nonsurgical type of gum disease treatment that consists of deep cleaning of the mouth to remove plaque and bacteria from above and below the gumline. Additionally, we smooth out the roots of the teeth to reduce the probability of this happening again.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  If you’ve been struggling with moderate to severe tooth loss, then you might consider getting dentures for a lifelike and reliable solution to restoring your smile. Depending on your situation and how many teeth you’re missing, our team can typically provide you with partial or full dentures. Both types of prosthetics are custom-built to provide security for your new bite. Your restorations will stay in place with the use of suction and maybe some denture adhesive. Dr. Sam Antoon will take accurate measurements and detailed notes about the size and shape of your mouth to send to a certified ceramist who will create your denture or partial. The Antoon Family Dental team wants your replacement teeth to fit comfortably and securely as well as look completely natural, so call our office today!

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Dental implants are an ideal way to replace missing teeth. They have all sorts of amazing benefits, including the fact that they have a success rate of over 95%! However, dental implant failure is still possible. If you notice something odd about your dental implant or you have any concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us. We may be able to restore your dental implants with dental implant salvage treatment.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  If you need to have teeth extracted before getting dentures, you are likely to experience some discomfort after oral surgery. Take prescribed pain medication only as directed. The discomfort should improve within 3 to 5 days after the procedure. When you first get a new set of dentures, some minor irritation may occur as your mouth adjusts. If you are switching to a new set, this adjustment process may take longer than before. If any pain persists, give us a call so we can help!
• Tooth Extractions
  Dr. Sam Antoon is pleased to offer the highest quality family dentistry to patients in and around Plano — and that includes specialty services like wisdom tooth extractions.
• Bone Grafting
  When you visit Dr. Antoon for your initial consultation, he’ll examine your mouth and capture images of your face. With these, he’ll be able to determine whether or not you’ll need preparatory procedures such as bone grafting. This is usually needed because when a tooth is missing for a long period of time, it can result in jawbone deterioration.

Orthodontics

• Braces
  Children’s smiles have different needs from adults, as they are more vulnerable to cavities between the ages of 6 and 14. Early orthodontic intervention can also reduce treatment times with braces later on. As a children’s dentist, Dr. Antoon is well-prepared to care for young smiles with a friendly, personalized approach kiddos love. He and the team will put your little one on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles!

General

• Teeth Whitening
  Even if your teeth are perfectly healthy, stains or discoloration make it hard to feel confident in social or professional situations. It’s no secret that dark-colored foods and beverages or tobacco use can dull your teeth, but sometimes, it’s caused by factors that are out of your control, such as age, genetics, and even side effects of certain medications. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t do anything about it! At Antoon Family Dental, Dr. Sam Antoon would love to give you a confident, bright smile with professional teeth whitening in Plano, TX. If you’d like to say goodbye to tooth stains and get a smile that truly dazzles, contact our office today to schedule a teeth whitening consultation!
• Cosmetic Dentistry
  While almost all preventive procedures are fully covered and restorative care may be partially covered, cosmetic dentistry is typically excluded. The number of visits per year may also be limited.
