A complete dental exam is the best way to stay on top of your oral health since we will alert you to problems and make recommendations for treatment or improvement. If needed, we can use intraoral cameras and X-rays to obtain all the data in your mouth.
We use specialized tools to remove plaque and calculus deposits which your toothbrush can’t reach. This debris is what contributes to cavities and gum disease if not removed. Dental cleanings sometimes also detect issues in the teeth and gum that are not initially obvious.
We work hard to provide urgent dental care when necessary to our patients by providing same-day appointments and immediate dental care if possible
A sealant is a thin layer of resin material that’s applied onto the chewing surface of molars. It “seals” out bacteria and food debris from packing into the grooves on teeth. This makes teeth easier to keep clean and reduces the chances of decay.
If you have a cavity, we offer conservative and natural-looking tooth colored composite restorations, as opposed to traditional metal fillings.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped porcelain restoration placed over a tooth to help restore its shape, strength, and size. For example, if someone has a very large cavity treated, not much of the original tooth may remain. However, once a dental crown is fitted over the tooth, it will look and function just the same as it did before
To whiten your teeth effectively, you’ll need to choose a whitening method that addresses the type of staining you have.
If the cause of your toothache is infection or serious decay in the tooth pulp, we may need to remove the pulp to save the tooth. Risk factors for infection in the tooth pulp include severe tooth decay, trauma, recent dental procedures, large fillings, and cracks/chips in the tooth.
Several conditions may require removal of your tooth. The most common is improperly-erupting wisdom teeth. Even in adults, there is often not enough room for wisdom teeth to erupt properly. Because of this, they may become impacted or grow in at an improper angle, or crowd out your other teeth. Tooth extractions may also be needed if an infected tooth cannot be treated with a root canal, or if the root canal doesn't remove the infection. It may also be required in cases of oral injury or severe periodontal disease, if the roots and internal structure of the teeth are damaged.
