Periodic
Dental Examinations
Inspection of your teeth, gums, and supporting bone and jaw joints;
and, all previous restorations, new decay, an oral cancer exam,
oral hygiene instruction, and periodontal charting are necessary
first steps to aid in preventive dental care treatment.
Periodontal
Disease
is a bacterial infection affecting the attachment fibers and adjacent
bone that support the teeth and hold them in place. This common
form of gum disease can occur at any age, and above the age of 18
more than half of the population has one form or another. After
the age of 35, more than 75% of the people are affected by this
painless disease. Regular dental visits and proper daily care can
control the build-up of plaque and calculus, and the spread of decay,
and your teeth will last forever. Periodontology is just one of
the eight dental specialties attended and recognized by the American
Dental Association. It is an entire dentistry branch devoted to
the study of soft tissues and bone supporting the teeth, researching
new techniques for treating these periodontal diseases, and replacing
teeth lost to periodontal disease with dental implants.
The benefits of periodontal treatment include fresh breath, a more
youthful appearance, the ability to chew your food more easily and,
most importantly... healthy gums that are free from infection.
Restorative
Dentistry
The loss of even one tooth can have a major impact on your dental
health and personal appearance. Your teeth support and rely on each
other... and, can shift causing changes in your bite, and so forth.
A dental implant may be appropriate. Or, perhaps a dental fixed
bridge may be recommended - which will consist of a replacement
tooth or teeth, attached to crowns on either side. Restoring damaged
or lost teeth can necessitate any of the following methods and/or
treatments:
Dental
Implants |
Crowns |
Bridgework |
Removable Dentures |
Root Canal Therapy |
Fillings |
Extractions |
Oral Surgery |
Orofacial Pain |
Temporomandibular Disorders |
Pediatric Dentistry |
Orthodontics |
Cosmetic
Dentistry
Modern research
has produced new dental materials which are far more versatile,
stronger and longer-lasting than ever before. We can now fill your
cavities with tooth-colored fillings! You may even request replacement
of your old silver or metallic fillings. Consider the following
treatments for teeth that are aged, mottled, stained, uneven, fractured;
and, even if there are unattractive spaces between the teeth.
Bleaching |
Bonding |
Porcelain Crowns |
Porcelain Veneers |
Implant
Dentistry
The "modern
solution to an old problem"! If you are missing one or more
teeth and would like to restore your ability to smile and speak
with confidence, then dental implants may be for you. Loose teeth
or dentures causing difficulty while eating is another good reason
to explore dental implants... non-removable tooth replacements.
