Professional Teeth Cleaning

There is more to keeping your mouth healthy than a brushing and flossing routine. Keeping up with your scheduled professional cleanings not only keeps your teeth looking great and healthy, but it also allows for the removal of any deep buildup. Plaque and hard deposits on the tooth and below the gum line can build up over time. Our office uses tools designed for professional cleanings and will go over any questions or concerns with you.

Fillings

Our office provides the time-tested treatment for cavities: The dental filling. Fillings do just what the name implies — seal a small hole in your tooth, i.e., a cavity, caused by decay. This prevents the decay (a bacteria-induced infection) from spreading further into your tooth and, if untreated, continue on to the sensitive inner pulp (nerve) tissue located in the root canal.

Tooth Bonding

Our office uses bonding to restore broken or decayed teeth. Bonding uses material that is the same color of your teeth to hide minor imperfections in your smile. The bonding material adheres to your tooth and mimics the look and feel of your natural teeth. Bonded teeth should be treated the same as your natural teeth. This means regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings. With proper care, a bonded tooth should last anywhere from three to ten years.

Crowns and Bridges

One of the techniques used in dental implants is placing a crown over a damaged tooth to help strengthen the tooth and allow for normal function again. Crowns cover the tooth above the gum line unlike a dental veneer that only covers the front surface. Not only can crowns be placed over an existing tooth, but they can be used to create a lifelike replacement for a missing tooth by using bridgework. A crown will be placed on either side of the missing area on healthy teeth and will create a bridge to insert a new tooth.

Dental Implants

Dental implants offer a comprehensive solution for people who want to replace worn out teeth and enhance their smile. When compared to other options, implants often represent the best long-term and hassle-free solution for our patients. Implants look and feel like natural teeth and last longer than any other tooth replacement method. You can put normal pressure on implants, chew regularly, and maintain the implanted teeth by brushing and flossing.

Full or Partial Dentures

Full or partial dentures are an option when teeth are missing or there is too much decay to save two or more teeth. This dental solution is a removable dental device that fits snugly in the jaw and replaces missing teeth. Unlike implants or some other dental services, dentures aren’t permanently anchored in the mouth and are designed to be taken out and cleaned.

Teeth Whitening

Custom-fitted whitening trays allow you to whiten your teeth at home, saving money and time on office visits. This professional service is superior to drug store kits, which only whiten limited teeth. These take-home whitening trays can be used for years, allowing you to whiten your teeth whenever you feel they need it. Most patients notice an improvement after using them almost immediately.
