Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  A full denture is a complete upper or lower row of teeth mounted on a gum-colored base. The teeth are made of plastic, porcelain or a combination of these materials. Dentures over a normal course of time will wear and need to be replaced or relined. Regular dental examinations are still important for the denture wearer so that the oral tissues can be checked for disease or change. When creating a new Full Denture there will be four to five appointments to verify the look and fit that is best for each patient.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Even if you brush and floss regularly, Plaque and tarter builds up on your teeth naturally, Plaque and tarter if left on your teeth provides a breeding ground for harmful bacteria that can cause gum disease, tooth decay, bone loss and other serious dental problems. Coming regularly for dental cleanings removes these deposits and helps to prevent gingivitis and periodontitis and promotes your overall health. Studies have gown that getting your teeth cleaned regularly can improve the risks of heart disease, stoke and increase your lifespan. The American Dental Association recommends having a dental cleaning at least once every six months.

All dental treatment results may differ from patient to patient.
• Veneers
  Veneers are an excellent way to resolve several dental issues like; cracked, chipped, broken or stained teeth. Dr. Goldasich has mastered the technique and will create a beautiful smile that will match your personality. The permanent veneers take two weeks at the lab to be completed. While your permanent veneers are being fabricated we will provide you with a set of temporary veneers to wear. Once your veneers are fabricated, Dr. Goldasich will bond them into place, giving your teeth a natural new look.
• Crowns
  Root canal treatment involves relieving pain and discomfort by removing the nerve tissue located in the center of the tooth and its root or roots. Dr. Goldasich will prep the tooth by drilling through the biting surface of the tooth to expose the pulp, which is removed with very fine metal files. Medications may be used to sterilize the interior of the tooth to prevent further infection. Each empty root canal is filled with a rubber-like material and medicated cement. Occasionally a metal pin (called a post) is also inserted into the canal to help restore the tooth. The opening in the tooth is closed with a temporary filling. Once the root canal treatment is completed, it is essential to return promptly to have crown created. Dr Goldasich will only do root canals on Anterior Teeth (front teeth) that have not previously had root canals or crowns.
• Bridges
  Bridges are dental crowns that replace a section of missing teeth. There are many different materials that bridges are made of, porcelain, gold alloys or combinations of materials are usually used to create your custom bridge. Dr. Goldasich will discuss with you the material that will best work with your lifestyle. Bridges help restore the natural contour of teeth. There are several types of bridges that Dr. Goldasich can restore for you, including conventional fixed bridges, cantilever bridges and resin bonded bridges. Treatment involves two phases, including preparation of the teeth and completion of treatment. In preparing a teeth for a bridge, some of the tooth above the gum line is removed to create the foundation for the bridge. The missing tooth will have a pontic (a tooth fabricated to sit above the gum line) that has two crowns connected on opposite sides.
• Dental Bonding
