Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Regular dental checkups are the cornerstone of preventive dental care. At Sheehan Dental, we emphasize the significance of routine examinations and cleanings to ensure that your smile remains bright, healthy, and free from potential issues. These checkups play a crucial role in preventing dental problems before they escalate, saving you both time and money in the long run.
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening
  A routine dental checkup typically includes a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues. It may involve X-rays, professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, an oral cancer screening, and a discussion about your oral health and any necessary treatment.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  As a dental hygienist working at this office, I passionately care for my patients by helping them achieve ultimate oral health.  I achieve this by helping my patients identify their dental problems, then educate, motivate, and assist them to find solutions to those issues.  Along with therapeutic teeth cleaning in the office, I provide and present individual home care solutions, introducing products to help the patients achieve their personal oral health goals.  This is done through individualized education plans.  Excellent patient service, quality care, integrity and teamwork have been my work ethic throughout my career, which is a great fit with the office philosophy of Dr. Sheehan.
• Fluoride Treatment
  Preventive dentistry is a cornerstone of our approach to pediatric dental care. We focus on education and early intervention to prevent dental issues before they become more significant problems. Regular check-ups, cleanings, and fluoride treatments are essential components of our preventive care to ensure your child’s smile stays bright and healthy.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  A dental veneer is a cover that is placed over the front (outward-facing) side of an existing tooth or teeth. The cover can be made of porcelain or a resin composite. A dental veneer can match the color of the existing tooth, or, in the case of a tooth that is discolored, can be matched to surrounding teeth. Tooth shape and size can also be altered by a dental veneer.
• Veneers
  If you’re looking to change the appearance of your teeth for the better, then dental veneers could be the perfect option for you. The simple process can revitalize the look of your teeth, giving you the fresh and beautiful smile that you dream of.
• Crowns
  You’ve probably heard of a dental crown before but if you’ve never gotten one, you may not know what it is or why you might need one.
• Bridges
• Dental Bonding
  The process of having dental veneers fitted is the perfect middle ground between dental bonding, which is ideal to resolve smaller cosmetic dental issues, and crowns, which are the right route for larger cosmetic fixes. With dental veneers you can overcome many common dental issues, achieving a straighter and cleaner appearance, so you’ll never have to hide your smile again.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  It seems that no phrase in dental procedures strikes more fear into the hearts of patients than that of “root canal.”

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  One way to stop or even possibly reverse the progression of periodontal disease is to have a deep cleaning, also referred to as scaling and root planing. We do this procedure in our offices, as it is non-surgical. In some cases, Dr. Sheehan can also prescribe medications to assist the efficacy of a deep cleaning.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  If you are missing a tooth, there are a variety of reasons you will want to fill that gap. For many people, it comes down to simple cosmetic reasons: no adult wants to have a gappy smile! But you have two options when it comes to replacing a missing tooth: dentures, a bridge, or a dental implant.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  If you’re ready to go ahead with the dental implant procedure, then please don’t hesitate to contact Sheehan Dental and we’ll make sure that you get an appointment as soon as possible to talk about your suitability for dental implants with Dr. Sheehan.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Tooth Extractions
  The idea of dental extraction can be much scarier and more worrying than the procedure actually is. Dental techniques and procedures have come such a long way in recent years that dental extractions are no longer the painful experience that they once used to be.
