Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  A dentist’s overall focus is on maintaining and improving your oral health. That means evaluating your oral health during regular dental exams, educating you about oral health and disease prevention, and performing clinical procedures to take care of cavities, diseases, missing teeth or other issues that arise.
• X-rays
  In addition to our commitment to oral care education, we offer a host of preventative treatments, such as fluoride treatments, cleanings, dental x-rays and more! In the event that you need more specialized treatment options, such as for migraines or sleep apnea, Dr. Scoles and our team of oral care professionals can create a personalized treatment plan aimed at providing you with long-term relief.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Regular teeth cleaning at home and from the dentist is the most important step you can take to keeping your mouth and teeth healthy. Even with regular brushing and flossing at home, plaque will build up on your teeth over time in hard-to-reach corners. That plaque buildup then turns into tartar, which requires professional removal.
• Fluoride Treatment
• Dental Sealants
  Sealants are a clear and protective coating that is applied to the biting surfaces of the back teeth. The sealant protects the tooth from getting a cavity by shielding against bacteria and plaque. Sealants are most commonly placed on children’s permanent back teeth because they are more prone to cavities. Most insurance companies pay for sealants.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  A veneer is a thin shell made out of porcelain or composite material. They are custom made and cemented to the front side of the tooth. A veneer can be used to treat dental conditions such as a slightly crooked tooth, discolored teeth, chipped teeth or they can even be used to cover spaces in between the teeth.
• Crowns
  CEREC is the latest in single day crown replacement technology and enables patients to receive a custom-fitted tooth in only a few hours!
• Bridges
  Toothless grins are really cute on babies, but far less so on adults. In fact, many people associate missing teeth with poor hygiene and a general lack of care, which can have a dramatic impact on first impressions. Whether you are missing teeth as a result of dental trauma or improper hygiene, the professional dentists at Michael J Scoles DMD can help turn your smile around with high-quality dental bridges. We have been improving smiles for nearly 20 years, and we always use the very latest in dental technology to ensure the best results. Our family dentistry services are second to none, so you can count on us to help you create the smile you deserve.
• Restorative Dentistry
  Tooth colored or composite fillings have changed the way we do restorative dentistry. Not only can you enjoy the benefits of having fillings that look just like natural teeth, they have other benefits as well. With composite, we do not have to take as much tooth away to do a filling and it is adhesively bonded to your tooth. Traditional silver fillings have no adhesive properties.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Once an abscess happens, the infection could spread throughout the mouth and body. A root canal is usually the only option to save a tooth once it has become abscessed. If you suspect that you have an abscessed tooth, call us as soon as possible.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  She attended the University of Washington for both her undergraduate and dental programs earning first a Bachelors degree in Cellular, Developmental and Molecular Biology and later her Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS). During her dental school education, Dr. Reyes volunteered her free time at community outreach programs including Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission where she unknowingly first met Dr. Scoles. It was also during this time she received a strong foundation in dental sciences serving as a teaching assistant for the Fixed Prosthodontics, Immediate Dentures and Complete Denture courses. She was the recipient of the Charles L. Bolender award for Prosthodontics.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  At the offices of Michael J Scoles DMD, we offer dental implants to restore any missing teeth you may have. Our implants are made of titanium, which is one of the strongest and most biocompatible materials available, making for an extremely durable and long-lasting tooth replacement. Another advantage of our dental implants is that single implants are free-standing units, and you can receive it without subjecting the adjacent teeth to adjustments or treatments. Implants are a premiere dental service at our practice and our experts are skilled in the latest implantation techniques.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  At Michael J Scoles DMD, we pride ourselves on being a comprehensive dental office. Performing oral surgery is one more thing we offer that may keep you from having to be referred to a specialist. Safety is a concern for us, we utilize a pulse oximeter during surgery, and the doctors have been trained in advanced cardiac life support. We also have an automatic external defibrillator in both our Renton and Issaquah offices.
• Tooth Extractions
  From Paisley, Oregon (population 435) to the Pacific Northwest, Dr. Michael Scoles’ life and career have taken a nontraditional route in more ways than one. At age 17, Dr. Scoles’ ambition was to become an aeronautical engineer. But after he got to hold the mirror during his wisdom teeth extraction, his fascination turned to the mechanics of dentistry. His passion for building things, however, remained strong.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Orthodontics: These services include tip edge technique that treats orthodontic issues in a more efficient way. Our six month smiles involve fixing crooked teeth within a four to six month time frame.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
• Braces
  Dr. Scoles is specially trained in the tip edge technique, which is a modern and more advanced version of traditional braces. The technique is commonly used in patients who have issues with overbite, underbite, or overcrowded teeth. There is also a considerable reduction of oral hardware involved as tip edge brackets do not rely on an abundance of wires, anchorage, and applied force.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  We meet a lot of patients who have stained or discolored teeth which is one of the many reasons we offer complimentary teeth whitening to our new patients.
