Diagnostic

• X-rays
  For more than a century, dentists have relied on dental X-rays which present information in only two dimensions. Unless you are fully trained on how to read an X-ray they are nearly impossible to understand. They are also difficult, even for trained individuals, because there are significant challenges to interpreting 3D data on a 2D image. Thankfully, for more than 15 years, a dental imaging system called “3D Cone-Beam Computed Tomography” (3D CBCT) has been available.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  You may not think about it too often, but the potential for poor air quality in a dental practice is very high. Think of the aerosols from ultrasonic cleaning tools, the splatter from drills and vapors coming off mercury fillings. Not to mention breath, coughs and sneezes coming from people’s mouths. To ensure an environment of optimal air quality, Blodgett Dental Care has invested in multiple “Surgically Clean Air” units: one in the reception area, one mid-office and one back by the doctor-treatment rooms where the heaviest of aerosols are created.

• Veneers
  Nobody wants to wait for their teeth to be fixed! For the majority of the 20th century, if you needed a crown, veneers or bridges, you would be waiting for 2-4 weeks for the lab to get your teeth done. When they arrived, they never looked like real teeth. Thanks to the incredible advantages of CAD/CAM technology, we are able to make almost all of your dental restorations in a single visit! Find out just how easy and fast it can be to replace your failing crowns without black margins and toxic mercury fillings with life-like ceramic restorations using the CEREC system. Efficiency and health is a great combination.
• Crowns
  Our practice is certified by the IAOMT in the “SMART” (Safer Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) protocol.  This process takes approximately 45-60 minutes per tooth.  Teeth may be restored with either bio-mimetic fillings or ceramic inlays, onlays or crowns.  No post-procedural pain or swelling is expected.  Most patients can return to work as soon as the numbness has worn off.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Blodgett Dental Care was one of the first dental practices in the Pacific Northwest to invest in 3D CBCT technology. 3D radiology is more efficient and effective than 2D radiology. Patients find it much easier to understand their own health issues because they can see their anatomical issues in three dimensions. Additionally, our 3D CBCT system fully integrates with our other digital technologies. This allows us to digitally plan implant placements, surgical guide systems, implant-supported restorations, and more. This is another example of how Blodgett Dental Care uses advanced technology to achieve the highest standard of patient care.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  Your health is your responsibility. Preparing your body for any kind of oral surgery is essential to optimal healing and recovery.  Following our recommended protocol for nutritional supplementation and lifestyle adaptations for 4 weeks prior to and following surgery is essential. We also recommend that you ensure that your Vitamin D level is above 60 prior to having any tooth replacement with dental implants. Your general healthcare practitioner (physician, naturopath, etc.) can order that blood test for you.
• Tooth Extractions
  In dentistry, tooth extraction is a common procedure, particularly with wisdom teeth.  More than ten million teeth are removed in America every year. However, the removal of teeth has a high incident rate of infection at the extraction site…
