Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a gentle, non-addictive gas that can calm your nerves to help you more easily tolerate dental exams, cleanings and other treatments. Nitrous oxide earned its nickname for a reason; it often induces a sensation of euphoria (and can even invoke a case of the giggles). For most patients, the overriding feeling is one of relaxation and tranquility.
• X-rays
  Dental cone beam CT scans provide more information than conventional dental x-rays, allowing for more precise treatment planning. The focused x-ray beam reduces scatter radiation which provides a high quality image. The versatility of this 3D image makes it useful for our dentists to evaluate the following...
• Oral Cancer Screening

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Regular visits to the dentist that include thorough dental cleaning can help you avoid developing any number of problematic conditions. Beyond gingivitis and gum disease, tooth decay and cavities rank among the most common consequences of skipping dental visits. Other common dental problems that you can avoid by seeing a general dentist include enamel loss and overly sensitive teeth.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Tooth-Colored Fillings: Unlike gray metal, tooth-colored fillings look completely natural and can be matched to the color of your own tooth enamel. They consist of composite resins and porcelains designed to mimic the look and feel of your natural tooth. You can enjoy oral health and functionality without worrying about exposing metal fillings when you smile.
• Gold Restorations
  Dental crowns and bridges are all-porcelain or all-gold restorations that protect damaged teeth. Dental crowns can be used to protect individual teeth, as part of a dental implant or as part of a dental bridge to replace multiple missing teeth. They are a great way to restore a beautiful, healthy, natural-looking smile.
• Veneers
  Embarrassing chips and other flaws on your teeth may cause you to feel self-conscious and hide your smile. Fortunately, dental veneers can help restore your smile and confidence. Porcelain veneers are thin, custom, non-removable tooth prosthetics. Fabricated to have a lifelike shape and color, veneers can provide the Hollywood smile you’ve always wanted.
• Crowns
  Sometimes referred to as “caps†because they cover and protect teeth, dental crowns provide increased stability and a new surface to weak and damaged teeth. Depending on your unique needs, one of our experienced dentists may recommend a dental crown to protect a tooth that is...
• Bridges
  Dental Crowns and Bridges: Dental crowns and bridges can address the functional and aesthetic issues that arise from damaged or missing teeth.

Periodontics

• Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
  Gingivectomy: In this procedure, unhealthy gum tissue is removed and healthy gum tissue is reattached to the tooth. A gingivectomy can be performed by various techniques. Some examples are atraumatic surgical gingivectomy, gingivectomy by electrosurgery, and laser gingivectomy. This procedure is also commonly performed to treat a gummy smile due to gingival overgrowth.
• Deep Cleaning
  Scaling and Root Planing: This type of deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths rough tooth roots where bacteria gather. This treatment is typically performed when the pocket depths are 5mm+ and bone loss is evident. There are often areas of bleeding gums. Sometimes, an antibiotic is used to reach the base of the deep pockets.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  There may be other reasons you are missing teeth. It’s not an uncommon problem, but our dentists urge you to consider teeth replacement options like dentures. There are many reasons why it is important to do so...

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Osseous Surgery
  Recovery from osseous surgery can take up to one month. There will be restrictions on certain foods during this time, along with special instructions on daily care to help prevent irritation. Surgical recipients will also need to avoid blood thinners and vasoconstrictors in the weeks leading up to and out of surgery.
• Tooth Extractions
  Although our dentists aim to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, sometimes a tooth extraction is necessary. Natural teeth are saved whenever possible because they are really the strongest option. However, when a tooth is beyond the possibility of repair, your oral health will suffer by trying to keep the infected tooth. It is these situations in which tooth removal may be the right way to restore your dental health and the appearance of your smile. To schedule a consultation to learn more, call or text our Palm Aire location at 941-351-4468.
• Bone Grafting
  It will take slightly longer to complete the process if bone grafting is necessary to support your dental implant. We will provide you with a timeline based on factors specific to you during your time in our care.
