- Dental ExaminationWhy do we take gum disease so seriously at our general family dentistry practice? Because gum disease is the main cause of tooth loss. It can intensify diabetes, and it may contribute to the development of other health problems, such as heart disease. If you have very mild gum disease when you come in for your dental exam, we might simply recommend that you be more vigorous in your hygiene routine at home. However, for more advanced cases, we can provide the treatment necessary to get your smile back on track.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningThousands of people die as a result of oral cancer, but the good news is dentists are in a position to catch oral cancer before it has a chance to develop into the late stages, which are significantly more difficult to treat. During your exam, Dr. Majors performs an oral cancer screening. This screening helps him identify non-healing sores, lumps, bumps, or other symptoms that indicate the presence of cancer. If needed, we’ll make sure to refer to you a general physician if future tests are needed to confirm your diagnosis.
- Teeth CleaningBeginning around the age of three – earlier if you notice any kind of problems or later if your child is unable to handle sitting still for the length of a short visit – Dr. Majors will start your child out with twice yearly children’s dentistry checkups and cleanings. These visits allow Dr. Majors to keep an eye on your child’s oral health and development, make recommendations about home care, and answer any questions you might have about your child’s smile. These early children’s dentistry visits are usually quick and simple, involving a visual exam and gentle cleaning.
- Fluoride TreatmentOne of the most basic preventive treatments at our practice is fluoride application. Fluoride is an essential mineral for protecting tooth enamel as well as strengthening it in the long term. After your routine cleaning, we’ll administer the fluoride treatment, which only takes a few minutes to complete. Afterwards, your smile will be well protected, and you’ll be asked to avoid eating or drinking for the next 30 minutes. This gives your tooth enamel time to absorb the fluoride properly.
- Dental SealantsDoes your child struggle with cavities? Are they finding their oral care routine difficult? Dental sealants work to protect developing teeth, especially those with deep pits and fissures for food debris, plaque and bacteria to get trapped in. Sealants are made from composite resin, a mixture that combines glass and plastic to form a durable and long-lasting bond. Once applied and hardened on teeth, your child can practice their oral care with greater peace of mind, as the sealant lasts for about 10 years before requiring retreatment.
- FillingsHas a cavity gotten the better of your child? The good news is they don’t have to settle for the silver amalgam fillings that you may have grown up receiving. Instead, our office uses composite resin material to restore your child’s tooth, all without sacrificing it’s natural-looking appearance. After carefully molding the resin inside of their tooth, we harden it using a painless curing light. Treatment only takes one appointment to complete and ensures that your child’s tooth does not worsen in condition.
- Resin CompositeDid you know Dr. Majors can treat a simple cavity without having to use a local anesthetic? We utilize advanced laser technology, which gently eliminates decay. Then, he places tooth-colored filling material made from composite resin. As a result, you don’t have to worry about your restored tooth standing out or reacting to hot and cold. With this precise technology, you can sit back and get your tooth fixed without having to go numb.
- VeneersYour porcelain veneers will be made in a dental lab using impressions taken at our dental office. They can be made to your color specifications, allowing you to truly customize your smile to achieve the results you’ve been looking for. We’ll prepare your teeth to make room for your porcelain veneers, which fit over your teeth and transform your smile.
- CrownsFor years, metal dental tools have been the standard for the most basic treatments performed in dentistry. At Dr. Jason Majors’ practice, laser dentistry has become a major part of treatment, including basic ones like dental fillings, periodontal therapy, crown lengthening, and others. Overall, you can expect care that is more comfortable, precise, and targeted. It also means your aftercare will be easier and shorter, making future treatments even easier. Don’t settle for anything less; contact our office to experience the difference!
- BridgesOne of the most common methods for replacing teeth is via a traditional crown and bridge. Also known simply as a dental bridge, this type of restoration carries multiple dental crowns which are then fused together. A crown on either end of the bridge is hollowed out so they can be placed on top of existing teeth adjacent to the gap in your smile. The crowns in the middle of the bridge act as the replacement teeth, making your smile complete and chewing your favorite foods easier than ever.
- Dental BondingLet’s say you have a small chip in one of your front teeth. What should you do about it? You might want to consider cosmetic dental bonding at our Newbury, OH cosmetic dentistry office. Using tooth-colored composite resin material, we can fill in that small chip and makeover the tooth to appear whole once again. Cosmetic dental bonding can also fill in gaps between teeth, change the look of cracks, and even fix the look of worn front teeth.
- Restorative DentistryWhile in school, Dr. Majors was the proud recipient of several accolades, including the Quintessence Award for Academic Excellence and the Stanley M. Koobation Award for Outstanding Clinical Skills. He is also a graduate of Sirona Speakers Academy and a current leader and speaker on the subject of digital restorative dentistry. Today, he is a member of the American Dental Association, Ohio Dental Association, Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society, and multiple local study clubs.
- Root Canal TreatmentWhat, exactly, is root canal therapy? Root canal therapy (or endodontic treatment) is a procedure used to treat problems with the pulp inside of your tooth. Every tooth contains canals that house soft tissue, carrying blood and nutrients through the tooth. When this becomes damaged or infected, it can threaten your tooth, eventually causing you to lose the tooth if not taken care of. Root canal therapy can be amazingly effective in saving teeth that would have been removed in the past – up to 95% of cases can be successfully treated with root canal therapy, which involves going into the tooth, cleaning out infected or damaged tissue, detoxifying the chambers, and filling the tooth.
- DenturesAre you experiencing extensive tooth loss? Is it nearly impossible to eat the foods you enjoy? A fast and affordable way to replace several missing teeth on opposing sides of your mouth or in your entire arch includes full and partial dentures. Both are made from durable, natural-looking materials like acrylic and porcelain to ensure your smile looks real and complete. When you have extensive tooth loss, it’s one of the most affordable methods to achieve a full smile.
- Dental ImplantsAlways on the forefront of dental treatment, Dr. Jason Majors has kept up with various ways to make your smile better. One of the most modern and popular ways to help you maintain a healthy smile throughout your entire life is with the use of dental implants. Dr. Majors can both place and restore dental implants at our Newbury, Ohio dental office. With dental implants, you can have tooth replacement that’s beautiful and strong and lasts a long time. And this tooth replacement method offers great benefits for the health of your jaw and the shape of your face!
- Tooth ExtractionsWhile we don’t prioritize tooth extractions at our office, there are some instances where extracting a tooth is the best course of action. Thankfully, most modern dental techniques give us multiple options to consider before resorting to extraction; however, if a tooth is putting other neighboring teeth at risk or the tooth is unsalvageable, we’ll perform a safe, comfortable and effective tooth extraction to protect your oral health. Call our office to get your next appointment scheduled!
- Bone GraftingThe cost of dental implants can be high, but it’s important to keep in mind that the price you pay for treatment may vary widely depending on your specific needs. For example, a single dental implant will be cheaper than a series of dental implants designed to hold a full denture. Additionally, some patients may require periodontal therapy or bone grafting before they are eligible for treatment. With that said, your new tooth replacement should be seen as a long-term investment that lasts for decades, which means you should be saving money compared to other methods of replacing teeth.
- OrthodonticsFor comfort and beauty, nothing beats clear plastic orthodontic aligners for straightening your smile. While traditional orthodontics involve metal wires and brackets, making them obvious and irritating, ClearCorrect™ from Dr. Jason Majors in Newbury, Ohio offers an alternative that is smooth, clear, and comfortable.
- BracesYou’re supposed to wear your ClearCorrect™ aligners all the time, taking them out for eating and oral hygiene like brushing and flossing. Because they’re so clear, few will ever realize you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment. Being smooth, they don’t cause the soft tissue irritation that’s so often a problem with metal braces.
- Teeth WhiteningA good way to kick off your teeth whitening process is with an in-office whitening appointment. In about an hour, we can get your smile several shades whiter. Whether you have a special event coming up and need to look your best in a hurry or you just want to get started with a big splash before following up with take-home teeth whitening, you can rely on Opalescence teeth whitening from the office of Dr. Jason Majors to really give your teeth bleaching a boost.
