Our family dentist uses special instruments to remove the following problems: plaque – a sticky film on the teeth that includes bacteria and food particles, tartar – hardened plaque that cannot be brushed off, stains on the teeth. Professional cleanings are essential for preventing tooth decay and gum disease. These procedures should be performed once or twice a year.
Fluoride treatments involve applying a high-concentration fluoride gel or solution directly onto the teeth using special trays. This gel helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. Fluoride treatments are often recommended for people who are at high risk for tooth decay.
Dental sealants are plastic coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They fill the natural grooves and pits to prevent food and bacteria from getting trapped and causing decay. Sealants are often applied to children’s and teenagers’ molars as a preventative measure. They last for several years before needing to be reapplied.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that aims to brighten the color of teeth. It is often done by applying a peroxide-based bleaching gel and using LED light or laser to enhance the whitening process. This procedure can make teeth anywhere from two to eight shades lighter. Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental services.
Veneers are thin shells, often made of porcelain, that cover the front surface of the teeth. They are customized for each patient and bonded permanently to teeth to correct various aesthetic issues. These may include stains, chips, gaps, crookedness, or worn enamel. Veneers allow for dramatic, quick smile transformations that can last over a decade with proper care. They provide an alternative to lengthier orthodontic treatments or more invasive restorations like crowns.
Dental fillings are used to repair decayed or broken teeth. The dentist removes the affected part of the tooth and then fills the space with a new material, such as composite resin or amalgam. Fillings restore the tooth to its standard shape and function.
A dental implant is a small screw or post, typically made of titanium, which is surgically placed in the jawbone. It serves as an artificial tooth root. The bone fuses with the implant over time, creating a solid foundation for a dental restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture.
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over an existing tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. They can be made of porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), ceramic, or resin. Crowns protect damaged, weak, or heavily filled teeth and improve their appearance. Our family dentist trims down the existing tooth to make room for the crown and then inserts it.
Dental bridges are prosthetic devices that replace one or more missing teeth. They cover this empty space by being anchored on adjacent teeth. Dental bridges can be attached to crowns, metal wings, and implants. They help restore the patient’s ability to bite, chew, and speak properly.
