- Dental ExaminationThe last step of your checkup is a dental exam, where we’ll look closely at your teeth and existing dental work. Then we’ll explain what we see and discuss whether you need treatment or not before answering any questions you may have.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningYou already know that seeing your dentist for regular dental checkups every six months is important for the health of your teeth and gums. But did you know that one of these appointments just might save your life, too? A standard part of a dental checkup at Rowlett Dental Associates is an oral cancer screening. Like other cancer screenings, this one is designed to pinpoint early warning signs before the disease can develop and symptoms begin. Oral cancer is a highly treatable and often curable disease when found early during an oral cancer screening in Rowlett.
- Teeth CleaningThere is more to your mouth than just your teeth—your gums play a major role in your oral health as well! If plaque and bacteria are allowed to accumulate on them, they can actually develop an infection called gum disease. Redness, swelling, and sensitivity are all common symptoms, and it’s even one of the leading causes of tooth loss! With regular screenings, special dental cleanings, and consistent maintenance, we can help a patient eliminate infection as quickly as possible.
- Fluoride TreatmentFluoride is a mineral that actually strengthens the enamel and makes it more resistant to decay upon contact, which is why you’ll find it added to so many toothpastes and community water sources. For children, regular fluoride use can also aid in the development of their adult teeth, even before they start erupting! That’s why, at your child’s routine appointments, we’ll give them a topical fluoride treatment that only takes a few minutes.
- Dental SealantsThe back teeth can be a little tricky to clean for small hands that are still learning how to brush, which is why the molars/premolars so often develop cavities in children. Thankfully, giving them the extra protection they need is nice and simple. With a dental sealant, we apply a thin, clear layer of resin to the teeth that quickly hardens into a barrier that harmful plaque, bacteria, and food particles cannot cross. In just a few minutes, we can literally give your child up to a decade’s worth of round-the-clock cavity prevention.
- FillingsAmalgam fillings – also known as silver fillings – are made of mercury, silver, tin and copper. The mercury is what binds the other metals together. This kind of filling has been used since the late 19
- Resin CompositeTooth colored fillings use a composite resin made of a ceramic and plastic compound. The material blends in with the appearance of natural teeth and can be matched to your natural enamel; some dentists even refer to them as white fillings.
- VeneersAt its core, veneers are thin shells that are designed to effectively conceal everything from stubborn stains to bothersome cracks. By adhering these sheaths to the front-facing portion of your teeth, we can provide you with the beautiful, bright, seamless smile you’ve always dreamed of. Plus, the materials that are used, like porcelain, don’t just look completely natural, they are strong and durable as well. So, you can enjoy all the aesthetic benefits of your new and improved smile without compromising your bite!
- CrownsDo you like the idea of having metal in your mouth? If your answer is “no,” you’re in luck. At Rowlett Dental Associates, we understand that metal can leave a bad taste in your mouth, among other things, which is why we offer metal-free dental restorations ! Whether it is a dental crown, filling, or another type of restorative service you need, you can enjoy an artificial prosthesis that matches your natural tooth color, size, and shape, and blends in beautifully with the rest of your smile.

- BridgesHow does a dental bridge work? It’s right in the name! Using two crowns placed on either side of one or more consecutive missing teeth, this type of prosthetic can literally “bridge” the gap left by 1-4 teeth. In addition to helping a patient regain their normal chewing function, bridges are also designed to look completely natural. They can additionally help prevent the remaining teeth from drifting out of place as we touched on above.
- Dental BondingFor a minor chip, stain, or gap, nothing will take care of it faster than cosmetic bonding. A color-matched composite resin will be applied to any discolored/missing enamel, and your dentist will use it to sculpt your tooth to absolute perfection, making any flaw seem like it was never there at all. The procedure only takes about an hour from start to finish, and you can look forward to the results lasting for 10 years or more.
- Restorative DentistryDo you have one or more teeth that are a constant bother because they’ve developed decay or damage and are causing you persistent pain? If so, we can practically turn back the clock for your smile and make these issues seem like they never happened in the first place with restorative dentistry. The treatments listed below can help your smile reclaim both its health
- Root Canal TreatmentAs proponents of conservative dental solutions, we preserve natural tooth structure whenever possible. If you have an internally damaged tooth, a root canal can eliminate pain and infection to let you keep your tooth. This approach can help with preventing extraction and the need for a prosthetic. Using modern techniques and a gentle touch, our dentists make root canal therapy a comfortable, positive experience.
- Deep CleaningAlong with cleaning and sanitizing during the day, we take things to another level at night with a thorough top-to-bottom scrub down.
- DenturesUnlike traditional bridges or dentures, implants don’t have any metal or plastic attachments that are needed to hold them in place. This helps them blend seamlessly into any smile, restoring someone’s health and appearance at the same time.
- Dental ImplantsWe strongly recommend dental implants because they’re designed to replace the entire natural tooth. This comprehensive structure replenishes oral health while also providing a replacement that looks and feels virtually identical to what has been lost. Better yet, we have the advanced training needed to provide every stage of this treatment (including surgery) right here in our Rowlett, TX practice.
- Oral SurgeryMaintaining oral health is a goal that lasts for life, and our team of knowledgeable and dedicated dentists would love to partner with you well into the future. By featuring several practitioners right here in one office, we’re able to provide a comprehensive number of services that aren’t available just anywhere, from full pediatric care for growing smiles to advanced oral surgery. This collaborative approach results in greater comfort for patients, more streamlined treatment plans, and a smoother overall experience!
- Tooth ExtractionsYour wisdom teeth extraction will be performed with precision and skill honed by years of experience. Dr. Fedosky has been removing impacted wisdom teeth in the comfort of our own Rowlett office since 1991. Modern anesthesia methods, including sedation dentistry, make for a comfortable experience. Our team will let you know what to expect during your treatment, then monitor you throughout your visit to ensure that you feel comfortable at every step.
- Bone GraftingWhen determining whether your implants will be successful, the amount of jawbone mass you have left is crucial. This can be problematic, as patients who have been suffering through tooth loss for some time have undergone jawbone atrophy, leaving them with an inadequate amount of bone mass for implant placement. Bone grafting involves attaching an artificial bone tissue to your jawbone to strengthen it so that it can eventually support an implant.
