- Dental ExaminationThe best way to prevent gum disease is with effective brushing and flossing on a daily basis, as well as regular professional examinations and cleanings. On occasion, however, even with the most diligent home dental care, people can still develop some form of periodontal disease. Once this disease starts, professional intervention is necessary to prevent its progress.

- Teeth CleaningOnce your teeth reach the desired brightness with either application, only occasional reapplication of the whitening agent is needed to maintain your new smile. With any whitening procedure it is recommended that you have a dental cleaning beforehand to remove any existing dental plaque or tartar that can affect your results. Any existing dental needs should also be treated before undergoing your teeth whitening treatment.
- FillingsIn our office, resin, or white fillings are used to fill damaged teeth due to tooth decay. White fillings are a more versatile and esthetic restoration than are silver fillings. There are also fewer health and environmental concerns with resin than with amalgam fillings.
- VeneersVeneers, also called “porcelain veneers,” are very thin shells of porcelain ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of your teeth. They are an ideal choice for improving your smile, particularly if the teeth are significantly discolored, chipped, or undesirably shaped or angled.
- CrownsCrowns are employed for greatly damaged teeth due to tooth decay or tooth fracture. A crown covers the tooth completely and protects it from breaking. Tooth colored crowns also restore the beauty of the tooth and give you the confidence to smile again!

These affordable plans can help you save 20% to 50% on most dental care procedures, such as check-ups, cleanings, fillings, root canals and more. Learn more about DentaCard plans on their website.
- Deep CleaningProper periodontal therapy involves disinfecting the diseased tissues around the tooth and inside the gum pocket. This treatment, or “deep cleaning”, interrupts the bacterial destruction of the tissues and bone, giving the pocket a chance to heal. Systematic, repeated visits, usually every three months initially, keep the pocket disease-free and sometimes allow tissues to reattach to the tooth at a near-normal depth.
- DenturesA denture, or a complete denture as it is often called, is an appliance that is inserted in the mouth. It replaces natural teeth, and provides support for the cheeks and lips. Dentures are made of acrylic and can be fabricated two different ways.
- Dental ImplantsDental implants have become the standard of care for replacing missing teeth. Whether you are missing one tooth or all of your teeth, dental implants provide an excellent restorative choice for long-term success and esthetics.
