Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Oral cancer affects nearly 35,000 Americans every year. The keys to surviving oral cancer are early detection and early treatment. This starts with a regular oral cancer screening – at least once every six months. An oral cancer screening takes just minutes, is pain-free and can be performed during regular dental exams. If you are male, a regular oral cancer screening is especially critical, since oral cancer is more than twice as common in men as it is in women. Other people at high risk of oral cancer include people over the age of 60, tobacco smokers and heavy drinkers.
• X-rays
  Dental X-rays have come a long way. Todays dental X-rays are safer, faster, more comfortable and more informative than the X-rays of years past. Digital X-rays, one of the latest and most advanced dental technologies, produce high-quality images of your teeth that can be viewed instantly by you and your dentist on an LCD monitor. Digital X-rays reduce radiation by up to 90% and provide exceptional diagnostic information to ensure that potential problems are caught at their earliest stages. Intraoral photography is another alternative to traditional dental X-rays. With intraoral photography, problems such as cavities, fractures and discoloration are captured through clear and sharp photographic images that are taken with a 35mm or digital camera.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  No matter how often you brush and floss, plaque and tartar deposits can still build up on your teeth. A professional teeth cleaning is the single most effective way to remove these deposits and prevent them from causing more serious problems in the future. While a traditional teeth cleaning involves manually scraping away these deposits with special dental tools, advances in dental technologies now give you more options for teeth cleaning.
• Fluoride Treatment
  Regular dental visits are very important to your oral health, as well as to your overall health. You should meet with your dentist or hygienist every six months. A hygienist will scale your teeth and remove any debris, plaque or tartar build-up. She will then floss and polish your teeth and give you an optional fluoride treatment. At a child’s cleaning, they may also have sealants placed on their teeth. Sealants are a protective coat placed on teeth that can help prevent cavities from forming. Fluoride treatment can assist in keeping your teeth strong and preventing cavities. After meeting with the hygienist, the dentist will check your x-rays, address any problems you may be having, and plan any treatment that you will need.

Restorative

• Fillings
  If your silver amalgam fillings make you feel self-conscious when you smile, or it's simply time to replace them, consider white fillings. White fillings are just as durable as they are attractive! Made of composite resin, white fillings match the natural color of your teeth and are an excellent option for small to mid-sized cavities. White fillings are strong, stain-resistant and require less removal of your tooth structure than amalgam fillings.
• Resin Composite
• Veneers
  Years ago, smile makeovers involved multiple dental treatments over a period of several months. That's no longer the case, thanks to porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are ultra thin shells made of translucent porcelain that can be bonded to your teeth for cosmetic purposes. Extremely versatile and durable, porcelain veneers are an excellent option whether you want a total smile makeover or need to cover a chipped tooth, mask a cracked tooth, or close gaps between your teeth. They require little to no prepping and can often be applied in just one dental visit!
• Crowns
  To make a crown, we will first take an impression or a mold of your tooth. We will then send this mold to the lab, where a custom crown will be created for you; this process takes about two weeks. In the meantime, the dentist will prepare the tooth for the crown and place a temporary crown.
• Bridges
  Dental bridges have been used for centuries to replace missing teeth. Today, dental bridges are still considered one of the most durable, conservative and cost-effective options for bridging the gap between a missing tooth and surrounding teeth. Comprised of two anchoring teeth and a replacement tooth, dental bridges help prevent surrounding teeth from drifting out of position, improve chewing and speaking, and help keep your natural face shape intact.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  The inside of a tooth contains soft tissue, which is the nerves of the tooth, blood tissue and connective tissue. When an infection or trauma to the tooth occurs, this can damage the pulp. Options are to either extract (remove) the tooth, or to have Root Canal Therapy. In most cases the preferred option is to save the tooth.

Periodontics

• Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
  Red, swollen gums are a red flag for one thing: gum disease. If you have the symptoms, you're not alone. More than 80% of adults have some form of gum disease. Fortunately, there are many effective and pain-free gum disease treatments. For gingivitis, the mildest form of gum disease, treatment typically involves a thorough dental cleaning, followed by daily brushing and flossing. Advanced gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, requires scaling and root planing to remove stubborn deposits below the gum line. Laser gum surgery, a new alternative to scaling and root planing, uses beams of high-speed light to remove plaque and tartar buildup. If non-surgical methods of gum disease treatment are ineffective, a gingivectomy, or periodontal surgery, may be necessary.
• Periodontal Surgery
• Deep Cleaning
  A deep cleaning may be recommended if excessive plaque and tartar deposits have developed below the gum line. Deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, involves a two-part process: first, the stubborn deposits are removed, and then the root surfaces are smoothened. A deep cleaning helps prevent periodontal disease and restores gum tissues to a healthy state.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Using dentures to replace missing teeth is not only great for your oral health, it's a great way to look and feel younger! Today, there are a variety of natural-looking and comfortable dentures for patients who need to replace missing teeth. Made of a gum-colored plastic resin or acrylic base and either resin or porcelain replacement teeth, dentures are custom designed to fit your mouth. If you have several teeth or all teeth missing on the upper or lower jaw, full dentures may be your best option. Partial dentures, which can be either fixed or removable, are great for patients who have several missing teeth scattered along the upper or lower jaw.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Many people have lost teeth to injury or disease. As a result, these people live their lives not being able to chew, speak or smile without feeling self-conscious. Dental implants are a great way to replace these teeth, giving you a great smile.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Gum Surgery
• Tooth Extractions
  Tooth extraction can be performed with local anesthesia if the tooth is exposed and appears to be easily removable in one piece. The dentist or oral surgeon uses an instrument called an elevator to luxate, or loosen, the tooth; widen the space in the underlying bone; and break the tiny elastic fibers that attach the tooth to the bone. Once the tooth is dislocated from the bone, it can be lifted and removed with forceps.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Cosmetic dentistry includes a variety of dental treatments aimed at improving the appearance of the teeth, using bleaching, bonding, veneers, reshaping, orthodontics, or implants.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Invisalign uses incremental transparent plastic aligners to straighten your teeth in comfort and convenience. Invisalign aligners are removable for easy cleaning and allow you to eat whatever you want. The clear aligners remain practically invisible to others and let you improve your smile without having to put your life on hold. This cutting-edge approach to treatment offers minimal interference in your lifestyle, while leading to a significant positive impact on how you look and feel about yourself.
• Braces

• Teeth Whitening
  Today's teeth whitening treatments are so easy, convenient and affordable that they've become a regular part of everyone's beauty routine. If you haven't tried one yet, you'll be happy to know that you have plenty of choices. For the fastest, most dramatic results, consider laser teeth whitening. Laser teeth whitening treatments take just an hour and can whiten teeth up to 10 shades. If you're the do-it-yourself type, an at-home teeth whitening kit might be right for you. These professional grade teeth whitening kits produce excellent results over a longer period of time. They can be purchased from your dentist or over-the-counter, but for best results, it's recommended that you always consult with a dentist before trying any over-the-counter teeth whitening system.
