Preventive Dentistry
is our goal for every patient. It involves daily
care, good nutrition, periodic examinations and cleanings that maintain
optimal dental health. Periodontal exams should be an ongoing portion
of every visit.
Cosmetic Dentistry
allows each patient to achieve the smile they've
always wanted. Recent technological advances which have improved dental
materials now allow dentists to help patients achieve their desires when
considering cosmetic treatment for chipped, broken or discolored teeth.
Restorative Dentistry
is basic repair of the mouth. We replace broken
or leaking amalgams, design crowns and bridges or realign your bite. In
some cases, it may be necessary to integrate implants to restore the mouth
to full function.
Orthodontics
is more commonly known as "braces"
and facilitates tooth movement. We provide orthodontic therapy in our
office for both children and adults. There are many different devices
used in the correction of poorly positioned teeth.
Orthodontic
Alternatives are available for many orthodontic situations. If
you are addressing a tooth or two and depending on the severity of the
condition there are alternatives such as crowns, bridge, partials, bonding
and veneers. A misaligned tooth, a missing tooth, a crooked tooth,
and gap's between teeth are common conditions that can be addressed.
Implants
are a popular permanent tooth replacement
option. They are used to replace one tooth or several teeth. An implant
is surgically placed in the bone replacing both the lost tooth and the
tooth root. The use of implants helps prevent gum shrinkage and provides
a natural feel and appearance to your smile. We have assembled a great
team of doctors to accomplish the required implants.
Periodontics
is the treatment of gum and oral bone diseases.
Gingivitis (gum disease) and periodontal disease (involving bone and supporting
structures of the teeth) are most common in adults and are responsible
for the majority of tooth loss. Since pain is not often a symptom of periodontal
trouble, adults often neglect the problem far too long. Most periodontal
diseases are preventable with professional treatment and proper oral hygiene.
Endodontics
(root canal therapy) is
the treatment of teeth with infected pulp tissue. The inside of the tooth,
the dental pulp, is often referred to as the nerve of the tooth. The pulp
includes nerve tissue, blood vessels, connective tissue and tooth regenerative
cells. When the pulp is injured or diseased, root canal therapy is necessary
to provide pain relief, and to allow the tooth to be saved. Safe
comfortable removal of this infection and completion of the root canal
therapy is our goal.
Extractions We provide
extractions of teeth that cannot be saved as well as the extraction of
wisdom teeth. We have an oral surgeon on staff and we offer general
anesthesia.
Prosthodontics involves the replacement of missing parts of teeth,
bone, gums or facial structures. There are 2 types: crowns and bridges,
and complete or partial dentures. It is possible to make partials
without visible wire clasps on the anchor teeth.
Pedodontics
specializes in the dental treatment of children.
It helps to establish good dental hygiene habits at an early age in life.
The use of sealants is common in the preventative measures to fight cavities
in children.
TMJ
- Temporomandibular Joint (pain in your jaw joints)
connects your lower jaw to your
skull. When the upper jaw and lower jaw relationship is misaligned
due to variousreasons such as trauma or habit, there is jaw joint dysfunction,
which can lead to pain and discomfort.
We hope that providing patient education to our
patients will make it EASIER and FASTER to get your teeth and your smile
exactly the way you want them.
