Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  The tray-based whitening is accomplished by taking molds of your teeth and creating custom fit trays that you wear at night with a prescription strength whitening gel in them. You can even purchase touch up gel at your six month cleaning and exam.
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Though somewhat effective, an oral cancer screening performed with direct vision and
 palpation alone significantly decreases the likelihood of finding oral cancer in its earliest and
 most treatable stages?

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Periodontal cleanings are when there is buildup of hardened material around the teeth and gums that causes inflammation and then bone loss.
• Space Maintainers
  Other times baby teeth need to be pulled is if they’re so decayed they have caused an infection or space is being lost they’re so broken down. Often when these are removed we have to place a space maintainer. As the name implies these maintain sufficient space for the adult tooth that will be taking the place of the baby tooth to come in.

Restorative

• Fillings
  For over one hundred and fifty years the only real option for filling teeth was using a silver amalgam filling. The fact these contained mercury was concerning to many. To allay those fears, once these fillings are hard, no mercury leaches out or effects us.
• Resin Composite
  In our office today we exclusively use composite resin filling material for restoring most cavities. This is a tooth-colored material that is like a putty and placed then shaped and finally light cured to achieve its hardened form. It’s then smoothed, further shaped and polished. One other option as mentioned on the Cerec page is to scan the prepped tooth and mill a perfectly fitting restoration that is then bonded into place. These tend to last longer though there is an added cost.
• Veneers
  Whether you have a back tooth requiring a crown due to a fracture or you have wrecked your Go-Kart and break your front teeth OR you just want your teeth to look better, porcelain crowns and veneers can help strengthen, rejuvenate and improve your smile.
• Crowns
  We have two different lasers used for scanning teeth rather than using the goopy impression material when making a Cerec crown.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  The mere sound of the words can bring fear to the minds of people. Those fears were borne from root canals from decades ago when you couldn’t adequately numb up a tooth that was infected or the nerve was exposed.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Complete dentures replace all the teeth on your upper or lower jaw. Partial dentures replace several missing teeth on your upper or lower jaw. They must come out every night to allow the gums and tissues beneath a chance to rest, just as you take your shoes off at night to allow your feet to rest.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Dental implants are likely the greatest advancement in dentistry in the past 50 years and among the most successful procedures we perform in dentistry.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Tooth Extractions

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Traditional braces or orthodontics is done in either one or two phases based on age and radiographic (x-ray) findings during an exam.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Dr. Roy says the great thing about Invisalign is that you can take out the trays to eat, drink, brush and floss. The BAD thing about Invisalign is that you can take them out to eat, drink, brush and floss. That is, the trays only move effectively and efficiently when worn ideally 22 hours per day. So patient compliance is a must with it.
• Braces
  Most adults report they don't like how their teeth look.  We see patients every day who should have had braces as kids…but didn't.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  We have a diode laser that is used for lip and tongue tie revisions, gum contouring for esthetics and laser teeth whitening for 5-7 shades in 40 minutes!
