Periodontal Disease
Do you have bad breath, loose teeth, painful teeth and gums, or bleeding? These may be the first signs of gum disease.
We can show you how to control it and stop the damage using the best treatment options for your condition. This is more than just a “teeth cleaning.”
If you want your teeth to last comfortably and predictably, our Soft Tissue Management Program is and important first step toward your best dental health.
Root Canal Therapy
Modern root canal therapy is usually comfortable and takes about as much time to perform as a large filling or crown. People choose root canal therapy In order to prevent more pain or loss of a tooth when the nerve of a tooth is too badly damaged from decay or a crack, or a piece broke off because of decay or a crack.
Gentle Tooth Removal
Modern techniques have improved the comfort and shortened the time it takes to remove a tooth and heal afterwards. Whenever possible, we prefer to discuss options to improve your healing and rehabilitate your mouth prior to removing any teeth. Planning and timing make this treatment of last resort better than most people’s fears.
Bonding (fillings) and Veneers
Personalized tooth-colored filling material can be added to your teeth to replace damage from decay or wear and change the tooth shape, color or function. Bonding and veneers can last a lifetime if well cleaned and not compromised by harmful grinding and clenching habits.
Dental Crowns and Implants
If teeth are not strong enough to last with bonding or veneers, a crown on a natural tooth or implant may be needed to reconstruct the teeth, bite or smile. A crown is like a filling that covers the entire tooth; an implant essentially replaces the root of the tooth. Both can last as long or longer than bonding and veneers with the same care and protection from grinding and clenching habits.
Partial or Complete Dentures with/without Dental Implants
When teeth are missing and an implant is not the right solution, the bite or smile can be restored with removable dentures. Partial removable dentures are attached to healthy teeth or implants.
Complete removable dentures sit on the gum and bone as a whole system; these can be made with or without implants. Ask us about the difference between dentures (dental plates) and Full Mouth Rehabilitation.
Night Guard/Splint Therapy
A well-fitting comfortable Night Guard PROTECTS TEETH and DENTAL RESTORATIONS from unhealthy grinding and clenching habits by preventing the teeth from rubbing together. The night guard is damaged by the uncontrollable habit, not the teeth.
While a Splint may look just like a Night Guard, and be worn either night or day or both, it will be adjusted over time as muscles and joints heal to have the most natural and comfortable bite PROMOTING Muscle AND Joint Health AND PROTECTING Teeth and Dental Restorations from unhealthy grinding and clenching habits.
People more often “love” to wear Splints more than Night Guards because they are routinely evaluated and adjusted over time to accommodate that take place over time.
Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Over time everyone’s health changes based on their genetics and the choices they made based on their previous knowledge and resources. Sometimes it is beneficial to stop and assess the conditions that we have grown accustom to living with rather than continue to do more of the same.
Rehabilitation is more than replacing or repairing, it is bringing health back to the whole system, not just the parts.
Pediatric Dentistry
Children are not little adults. They have different needs as they grow, while being exposed to the same damaging processes as adults.
We take the time to communicate the complete treatment and care information to parents and children so grownups can make the best decisions for a child’s long-term oral health and work together as a team to have it.
