OUR DENTAL TREATMENTS

DENTAL CLEANINGS AND EXAMS

Scheduling a dental exam every six months is essential for maintaining oral health, detecting potential problems early, and receiving personalized guidance. Our comprehensive exams include a check for tooth decay, professional cleaning, x-rays, oral cancer screening, and time to discuss any other dental concerns you may have.

TOOTH FILLINGS

Decayed teeth can become weak and often require fillings to restore their strength. At our dental office, we use only mercury-free composite fillings that not only reinforce your teeth but also blend seamlessly with your natural smile. These restorations bond tightly to the tooth surface, preserving both appearance and durability.

DENTURES AND PARTIALS

Dentures, commonly known as false teeth, are custom-designed prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and are supported by the surrounding tissues in your mouth.

When some natural teeth remain, partial dentures can be an excellent solution. These typically feature artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic base and may include a metal framework to help keep the denture securely in place.

EXTRACTIONS

When a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, or poorly positioned, extraction may be the best option. Our team is committed to making the procedure as comfortable as possible and providing attentive post-treatment care. We’ll also walk you through tooth replacement options, such as dental implants or orthodontic solutions, to help restore your smile.

ROOT CANALS

Root canal therapy is an essential treatment used to save an infected tooth and prevent the need for extraction. The procedure involves removing the infected nerve tissue, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the interior of the tooth, and sealing it with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. To restore strength and function, a protective crown is typically placed over the treated tooth following the procedure.
