Initial Oral Examination
Your initial oral examination includes a complete intra oral x-rays, panoramic x-ray, clinical exam, charting, periodontal probing, for an accurate diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
Teeth Bleaching
Our state-of-the-art, in-office ZOOM bleaching system will make your teeth whiter in less then 1.5 hours. Another option is our home bleaching system you take with you for results in 2 weeks. You can also consider a combination program of both systems for optimal, long-term results.
Veneers
Like tooth whitening, porcelain veneers provide an immediate improvement in the aesthetics of the teeth. Dental veneers are custom fabricated slices of porcelain that are placed over your natural teeth to mask imperfections. Used to treat crooked, chipped, and discolored teeth, the entire porcelain veneers treatment process can be completed in as little as two appointments.
Crowns
When teeth are cracked or have large restorations that wedge the tooth apart a crown is recommended. Also root canalled teeth require a crown to protect the remaining tooth structure.
Fillings: Resin
Tooth-colored filings that are light cures to match your teeth. Amalgam: Silver-colored filings, more durable material.
Root Canals
We perform root canals on anterior and premolar teeth.
When bacteria has reached the nerve due to large caries a root canal is recommended. During the procedure the pulp is cleaned out, the space disinfected and then filled. Ideally, the tooth will then require a full crown coverage restoration.
Periodontal Treatment
As part of your clinical exam, a series of measurements around your teeth are taken to determine whether there is bone loss. Normal measurements are 1-3mm. 4mm denotes gingivitis which could range from light to severe. Measurements of 5mm or more denotes bone loss defining the presences of a periodontal pocket. Other factors determining therapy include but are not limited to calculus (solidified), dental plaque, bleeding, oral hygiene.
There are also other factors that can affect the periodontal apparatus like diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, obesity, etc. Genetics also has a strong influence in determining the susceptibility to the periodontal problem. All these factors are evaluated in order to determine the “cleaning” you need.
Mouth Guards
Grinding your teeth is part of a mechanism that allows an individual to properly chew foods to enable digestion. Grinding also becomes a parafunctional habit when done while sleeping. It causes excessive wear of dentition as well as wear and tear of the soft tissues, muscles, and articular surfaces of the Temporomandibular joint. This can be prevented and sometimes alleviated by wearing an occlusal night guard while sleeping. We can help you in our office with any concerns regarding a custom made nightguard.
Sports Guards
Sports mouth guards are plastic appliances worn to help provide protection for the hard (teeth and jaw) and soft (lips, cheeks, gums) tissues of the mouth by way of absorbing and redistributing the forces generated by traumatic blows. The importance of an athlete wearing a sports mouthpiece is to protect the mouth from injury.
Prosthodontics
In an ideal occlusion system both anterior and posterior teeth protect each other. Front teeth are designed for biting and smile, while back teeth are used to chew and support the vertical dimension of the face. When loosing teeth, it is important to replace them to avoid deterioration of the remaining teeth.
Ways to replace missing teeth are:
Dental Implants
Dental implants have become the treatment of choice for single, missing teeth. We closely work with board certified surgeons to restore the implants and deliver optimum function and aesthetics.
Bridges
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. The restoration can be made from porcelain, gold, alloys, or a combination of these materials and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for support. Bridges help maintain the shape of your face, as well as alleviating the stress in your bite by replacing missing teeth.
Removable Dental Prosthesis
A removable partial denture is for a partially edentulous dental patient who desires to have replacement teeth for functional or aesthetic reasons, and who cannot have a bridge (a fixed partial denture) for any number of reasons, such as a lack of required teeth to serve as support for a bridge.
Complete Dentures
Patients can become entirely edentulous (without teeth) due to many reasons, the most prevalent being removal because of dental disease typically relating to periodontal disease and tooth decay. Other reasons include tooth developmental defects caused by severe malnutrition, genetic defects such as trauma, or drug use. Dentures are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth, and which are supported by surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. Conventional dentures are removable.
