Our Services
Dental Cleanings
Regular dental visits are important because they help to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
There are two parts to a regular dental visit:
-
During the dental check up, your dental professional will check your overall oral health for any trouble areas.
-
During the cleaning, your dental professional will remove any plaque and tartar buildup and may polish your teeth
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a simple process. Whitening products contain one of two tooth bleaches (hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide). These bleaches break stains into smaller pieces, which makes the color less concentrated and your teeth brighter.
Talk to your dentist before starting. If you are a candidate, there are four ways to put the shine back in your smile:
Dental Anxiety Management
Dental anxiety is a common occurrence, and can be the result of many factors including: fear of pain, injections, loss of control and many other reasons.
Ask your dental professional about options to make your next dental visit anxiety free!
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal treatment is an often straightforward procedure to relieve dental pain and save your teeth when there is inflammation or infection in the roots of a tooth.
During root canal treatment, your doctor will carefully remove the pulp inside the tooth, clean, disinfect and shape the root canals, and places a filling to seal the space. After treatment, a crown is placed on the tooth for strength.
Crown/Bridge
A crown is used to entirely cover or "cap" a damaged tooth. Besides strengthening a damaged tooth, a crown can be used to improve its appearance, shape or alignment. A crown can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function.
Bridges are commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth. They span the space where the teeth are missing. Bridges are cemented to the natural teeth or implants surrounding the empty space.
Dentures
A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Two types of dentures are available -- complete and partial dentures.
