Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  A dental exam isn’t just a matter of looking for cavities, however—your oral health can affect your entire body.
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Many illnesses and health disorders show their first signs in the mouth, so, during your oral wellness visit, Dr. Williams will examine you for potential warning signs so that you can get the necessary treatment as early as possible.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  This is why good home care and regular professional dental cleanings are needed in order to keep your mouth and teeth healthy. Diet can also help slow down the development of plaque by avoiding sticky and sugary foods that may result in sugar staying on your teeth for long periods of time.
• Fluoride Treatment
  No one wants to go to the dentist only to learn that they have cavities. Preventing them relies heavily on proper brushing and flossing at home, but fluoride treatments are also available to help provide extra protection against tooth decay.
• Dental Sealants
  The tops of molars tend to have many little crevices where food can become trapped, sealants help protect those teeth.

Restorative

• Fillings
  There are many types of materials that may be used for fillings, however, including composite tooth fillings which are able to match the color of your teeth, making them far less noticeable than the silver amalgam fillings which were more common in the past.
• Resin Composite
  Dental bonding is a typical treatment option for addressing a chip in a tooth. Bonding uses a tooth-colored composite resin to fill in the chipped area and restore the tooth to its original shape.
• Veneers
  For those who are looking for a complete cosmetic smile makeover, porcelain veneers might be the right treatment for you.
• Crowns
  A dental crown looks virtually identical to a natural tooth, but is, in fact, a type of restoration that encases the entire visible portion of a tooth.
• Bridges
  Fixed bridges can be less expensive than dental implants and still look, feel, and function just like your real teeth.
• Dental Bonding
  Dental bonding is a process that uses a tooth-colored composite material for repairing damage to teeth or for filling cavities. It can be used for cosmetic purposes as well. Bonding material can be used to extend teeth to close small gaps, even out teeth, and essentially act as a non-invasive form of a smile makeover.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Sometimes, when tooth decay is not addressed soon enough, it can reach the inner parts of the tooth and cause pain and serious problems. Root canal therapy is a method for removing the infected pulp from the center of the tooth and replacing it with a rubber-like material that prevents bacteria from getting back in.

Periodontics

• Periodontal Surgery
  Periodontal surgery: In more severe cases of gum recession, periodontal surgery may be necessary to repair the damaged gum tissue and bone. This may involve procedures such as pocket reduction surgery, bone grafting, or guided tissue regeneration.
• Deep Cleaning
  Electric toothbrushes have gained popularity for their ability to do all of the work for the user. With the option of different style brush heads and modes, like whitening, sensitivity, and deep cleaning, it makes thorough teeth cleaning simple. Some electric options are even equipped to time how long the user is spending brushing one area and alerts the user to move to a different quadrant through vibrations.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Tooth Extractions
  For conventional dentures, you can be fitted once any necessary tooth extractions have been performed and your mouth has fully healed.
• Bone Grafting

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Uneven teeth or small spaces between teeth can be addressed without the use of orthodontics. Porcelain veneers can be made in such a way as to close these gaps and give your teeth a straighter, more even appearance.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Teeth that are perfectly aligned naturally are rare, and not all misaligned teeth will require treatment. It is best to check with the dentist or an orthodontist to find out what may be needed in your case. Typically, malocclusion can be addressed via orthodontic treatment such as traditional braces or clear aligner trays such as Invisalign. If the improper bite is due to irregularly shaped teeth, these issues can be treated via reshaping the enamel or through dental bonding. In some cases where teeth are overcrowded, tooth extraction may be recommended in order to make more room. Surgery is sometimes called for in cases where reshaping the jaw is the best way to address major bite issues.
• Braces
  Mouthguards can be especially beneficial for those wearing braces as they can protect the teeth and brackets as well as act as a barrier between the braces and the insides of the cheeks, lips, and tongue.
