Below are the common general dental services we provide, please contact us with any questions you may have.
Dental Examination
Professional dental examinations are an important of maintaining a healthy smile and should take place at least once a year for optimal care.
Dental Cleanings
Routine dental cleanings twice a year are an integral part of maintaining healthy teeth and gums that give you a beautiful smile for a lifetime. Deep cleaning if needed is done to treat periodontal infection and followed by maintenance cleaning.
Fluoride Treatment/Dental Sealants
Professional fluoride treatments may be given to patients at the dentist’s office to help strengthen the dental enamel and prevent tooth decay. Sealants help to prevent cavities in teeth by acting as a barrier for premolars and molars against plaque, tarter, and bacterial infections.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings, made of resin or sometimes porcelain, keep your teeth looking natural and allow the teeth to continue effective function.
Family Dental Care
Dental care is available for patients of all ages, including pediatric services and care for older patients as well as adults.
Mouth Guards/Night Guards
A custom-fitted mouth guard can be used during the day for sports protection or TMJ pain relief and at night for sleep disorders or teeth grinding. Night guards can be custom made at a dental office for patients who grind their teeth or clench their jaw for relief.
Crowns
Type of dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. Crowns are often needed when a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth.
Bridges
A fixed dental restoration (a fixed dental prosthesis) used to replace one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth definitively to adjacent teeth or dental implants.
Implants
Surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture or facial. We place implant crowns to give the patient a beautiful and functional dentition.
Dentures
Dentures are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth; they are supported by the surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. They can replace few missing teeth (partial denture ) or replace all missing teeth (complete denture).
