We provide the following general dental services:
Dental Cleaning
We recommend that patients come in to our office for a professional tooth cleaning and examination once every six months. During your cleaning we examine your mouth for any signs of cavities or gum disease. After we clean your teeth you leave our office with a clean, beautiful smile. To learn more about our professional dental cleanings, see Dental Cleanings.
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are commonly used to fix cavities. Cavities are caused by tooth decay, which is a very common issue we see in patients of all ages. Before we place the filling, we will numb the area. Then, we remove any tooth decay, and fill the cavity with composite resin. The procedure is virtually painless and takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete from start to finish. To learn more about fillings, see Dental Fillings.
Root Canal
Root canals may be needed for a variety of reasons, including very deep cavities, cracked teeth, or filling issues. In general it takes two appointments for us to complete your root canal. With the use of dental sedation the entire process can be pain-free and easy. To learn more about root canals, see Root Canal.
Tooth Extractions
If we are unable to save your tooth, we will need to extract it in order to fix your smile and the restore the function of your bite. We may also need to extract a tooth if you have crowding. Before extracting your tooth, we numb the area so that the procedure is painless. Tooth extraction is often the best option to prevent crowding, infection, and future damage. To learn more about dental extractions, see Tooth Extractions.
Sedation Dentistry
Dental sedation is used during procedures that take extended amounts of time or ones that are likely to cause discomfort. Patients with dental anxiety may also request some form of sedation. It relaxes patients nerves, and makes dental procedures pain-free. To learn more about our sedation dentistry options, see Sedation Dentistry.
