Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Even if you brush three times a day and floss constantly, you still need to see a dentist at least once a year for a cleaning and exam.  You will never clean like a professional cleaning done by a dental hygienist or doctor.  You do not have the equipment or the ability to reach all the areas they can and do.  You won’t be able to remove the tarter by yourself, you won’t be able to take an x-ray and have it read to ensure there are not any insidious growths or disease that appear on a radiograph long before it begins to penetrate the bone or soft tissue, any cancers or other progressive diseases.
• X-rays
  Digital Dental X-Rays are quickly replacing traditional film X-Rays. With lower radiation and less wait time, digital X-Rays help Columbia Dental make your dentist visit an enjoyable one.

Restorative

• Fillings
  The history of holistic dentistry begins with the invention of amalgam tooth fillings in 1819, in England. Amalgam fillings are cheaply made, easy to source, and last for a long time, so the use of these fillings has become commonplace.
• Veneers
• Crowns
  A crown is a cap made from various materials suitable for withstanding the biting and chewing forces that a normal tooth must endure. It is placed over a tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and/or to improve its appearance. The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of the tooth that lies at and above the gum line.
• Bridges
  A dental bridge is an appliance made to permanently fit between two porcelain crowns. The bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. We refer to this as a fixed bridge. Think of a fixed bridge as a permanent bridge which cannot be removed, unlike dentures which you can take out and put back in.
• Dental Bonding

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed under local anesthetic. The inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected and abscesses may form.
