Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Dental exams and consultations should be taken up at least once every six months. However, this can vary depending on your oral health, habits such as smoking, chewing tobacco, susceptibility to cavities, the sensitivity of the teeth and soft tissues of the mouth, etc. In such cases, you may have to take many frequent consultations as per the dentist’s recommendation.
• X-rays
  Digital X-rays are the recently developed technology used for dental X-rays. Instead of X-ray film, an electronic sensor captures and stores the digital image on a computer. The image taken can be viewed just after the capture and can be zoomed, helping the dentist with better diagnostics. They also emit less radiation, making the dental-checkup safe for our patients.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  At Lincolnway dental center, our excellent team of experts is highly dedicated to providing the best quality treatment. We understand the severity of the condition and the impact it could have on your overall physical and mental health, which is why our oral cancer screening process is undoubtedly the best there is.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Having a beautiful and healthy smile is something everyone craves for. However, not all of us are lucky enough to have a naturally contagious smile, and this where dentists step in. Our customizable dental solutions not only help you to get the smile of your dreams, but also make sure your oral health is holding stable at a standard level. One such procedure that improves both aesthetics and oral health is teeth cleaning.
• Fluoride Treatment
  In case we feel the presence of any hidden cavities in the teeth, an x-ray may be taken to get a better view of the teeth. A fluoride treatment may be carried out to increase the teeth’s resistance to cavities. While doing all this, we give a lot of importance to ensure we build a friendly relationship with the child as it helps us understand and treat them better.
• Dental Sealants
  Dental sealants have been used for a long time now as a means of preventing cavities. They are made from an acrylic material that is applied to the grooves in order to seal them off completely. This way, the grooves will be covered and microbes will not have an entry into them, thereby preventing the chances of developing cavities.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Fillings have been used to restore cavity-affected teeth for a long time now. Earlier, Amalgam fillings were the only choice available. Amalgam is a combination of mercury with at least one other metal. However, it had its fair share of advantages and disadvantages, which is why it soon got replaced by tooth-colored fillings.
• Resin Composite
  Tooth-colored fillings can be made from either ceramic or composite resin. Both these filling materials can be made to match the exact color and texture of the tooth enamel, making it quite difficult to visually distinguish them. Also, they offer excellent sealing properties and prevent the tooth from getting reinfected.
• Veneers
  Porcelain veneers are one of the most commonly used dental restorations out there. They are thin flat pieces of porcelain that can be customized to mimic the exact appearance of a tooth face. They are bonded on to the frontal face of a tooth in order to get rid of surface imperfections, cracks, discoloration, the excessive spacing between adjacent teeth, etc.
• Crowns
  Teeth undergo a lot of stresses, wear, damage, and discoloration as a person ages. This is quite normal for any person and it doesn’t affect the teeth by much, but when they occur excessively, it would be a problem. Dental crowns are cap-like restorations that are used to cover a tooth completely. Dentists use them to treat teeth that are cracked, chipped, worn out, discolored, and weak due to lack of nutrition.
• Bridges
  Missing teeth is one of the major oral issues that has affected the lives of several people. It poses several disadvantages that affect the confidence levels, oral health, and functionality of the mouth. Perhaps, the biggest drawback of a missing tooth is that the aesthetics of the smile will be ruined completely.
• Dental Bonding
  Excessively spaced teeth:  Spacing is a form of malocclusion where the teeth are spaced too far apart from each other. It leaves a bad facial appearance when you smile, which is why restoring such teeth using composite bonding techniques is one of the best solutions to it.
• Restorative Dentistry
  We strive every day to keep our teeth clean, good-looking, and healthy. But, oral issues pop up no matter what and it is our duty to get them treated as soon as possible to avoid further complications. Restorative dentistry is a collective term for several dental procedures that aim at restoring the teeth and soft tissues of the mouth back to their original condition. This way, both oral aesthetics, and health can be brought back to an ideal level.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  A root canal infection is one of the most painful oral issues and a dangerous one as well. Every tooth houses a central canal called the root canal cavity, which houses the nerves and blood vessels. Both these form the tooth pulp and are responsible for the nutrition and sensation of the tooth. When the pulp gets infected, it can lead to a root canal infection, thereby putting the tooth and the entire oral health at a risk.

Periodontics

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Partial dentures:  Partial dentures are used to replace just a few selected teeth. They consist of just the required teeth held together by a metal framework that comfortably sits against the palate. It can be removed as and when required and put back on without hassle.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  To overcome this, most dentists recommend replacing a tooth using dental implants. Implants are regarded as the best tooth replacement solution owing to their strength, stability, longevity, and amazing aesthetics. They form the complete package for anyone who’s looking to get a permanent replacement for their extracted tooth.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Tooth Extractions
  Tooth extraction involves the complete removal of a tooth from the socket. It becomes a necessity in situations when the tooth is decayed, broken, excessively worn out, weak, or during orthodontic treatment. However, in most cases, dentists try their best to save a badly infected or damaged tooth by restoring it. But, if no option can save the tooth, it will have to be extracted to avoid the possible complications in the future.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Malocclusion has been one of the leading oral issues for as long as one can remember. It is nothing but the misalignment of the teeth, which ruins the appearance of the smile and leads to a few other oral issues as well. Orthodontics is a dedicated branch of dentistry that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of malocclusion.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  The technology that backs Invisalign is highly advanced. Scanning the teeth, aligning them, determining the type of malocclusion, fabricating the aligners, etc. can be done easily without hassle. In fact, the dentist would give you a clear idea of how your teeth would look once the treatment period is completed.
• Braces

She is very thoughtful and proactive when it comes to treating her patients, and I plan on seeing her for ANOTHER 20 years.
