Dental Examination
The infant oral health exam at age one provides valuable information about caring for your baby’s teeth. This first visit will include a medical and dental history, thorough oral examination, age-appropriate toothbrushing demonstration, prophylaxis (cleaning), and fluoride varnish treatment as indicated. In addition, the doctor will assess the infant’s risk of developing cavities and determine a prevention plan and interval for recare. As part of the visit, we will provide anticipatory guidance regarding dental and oral development, fluoride status, oral habits (pacifier, thumb, etc), teething, injury prevention, brushing and flossing instruction, and the role of diet (bottle, sippy cups) in keeping teeth healthy.

Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer is unfortunately more widespread than you might think, affecting approximately 54,000 people each year. Because of this, our Ada, MI, dentists stand by screenings as they are crucial when it comes to catching symptoms early on and treating them. Checking for oral cancer in our office is painless and involves both a visual and physical examination of the mouth. Here’s what else you should know about oral cancer screenings.

Teeth Cleaning
The widespread standard is that you come in for a professional teeth cleaning every 6 months, or twice a year. Most patients are well taken care of with this schedule but others may require an increased frequency of visits due to specific oral health needs. Our dentists will be sure to speak with you about what’s best for your smile so you’re aware. If it’s been awhile since you’ve last seen a dentist, don’t worry. We can pick up where you’ve left off and help get you back on track in our Ada dental office. It’s our mission to improve and maintain the oral health of each of our patients.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Fluoride treatments are a common preventive measure to protect children’s teeth.
Dental Sealants
Ongoing maintenance of your car prolongs its performance, so why not do the same and keep your smile in tip-top shape with regular checkups? After all, this approach can help you avoid unwanted dental problems in the future. Our dentists can apply sealants to prevent cavities, screen for oral cancer symptoms, professionally clean teeth every 6 months, and more.
Space Maintainers
Space Maintainers: In cases where a baby tooth is lost prematurely, space maintainers may be used to ensure proper alignment of permanent teeth as they emerge.

Fillings
When you think of a filling, it’s not uncommon to have the metal version pop into your head. Sure, metal amalgam fillings are still used today but less so because of their obvious appearance. Tooth-colored fillings, on the other hand, are discreet and effective. They also allow for minimal removal of healthy tooth structure during placement and because of their natural enamel color, can be applied to teeth close to the front of your mouth. Not much tooth preparation is required for this procedure and results can last many years if teeth with fillings are properly cared for each day.
Resin Composite
Unfortunately, cavities can happen. When they do, our Ada, MI, dentists are ready to repair your tooth with a composite resin filling. This type of dental filling consists of tooth-colored material that when placed, is indiscernible amongst the rest of your teeth. No one will know you’ve had a cavity and your tooth will be decay-free. It’s a win-win.
Veneers
Having veneers placed by our Ada, MI, cosmetic dentists can dramatically transform your smile. No longer will chipped, cracked, gapped, severely discolored, or irregularly shaped teeth be visible and negatively affect your self-confidence. It’s important to remember that the traditional veneers procedure is not reversible as some of your natural enamel has to be removed for a proper fit.
Crowns
Broken, cracked, or otherwise weakened teeth are best served by a protective dental crown. You can think of them as tooth-shaped helmets with their main purpose being to restore size, strength, and appearance. Our Ada, MI, dentists may place a crown for multiple reasons, such as when a tooth is left vulnerable after a large cavity.
Bridges
Having a dental bridge isn’t all about aesthetics. If it were, it’d be strictly a cosmetic procedure. While it does look nice and helps to fill in a gap that may make you feel self-conscious, it also restores function.
Dental Bonding
Because dental bonding is a more affordable, still very effective option, it can help fix a range of tooth imperfections. Keep in mind, however, that the procedure is best suited for small cosmetic changes, short-term correction of cosmetic problems, and correcting teeth in areas of low bite pressure, i.e. front teeth.
Restorative Dentistry
If there is something affecting your oral health, we’re here to restore your smile. Missing teeth, cavities, and dental emergencies are all easily remedied with the variety of treatments we have available. You deserve to have healthy gums and teeth for life so our Ada, MI, dentists will always do what’s required to save your smile.

Pulpotomy
Pulpotomy and Pulpectomy: These procedures involve treating the inner pulp of the tooth, addressing infection or inflammation. Pulpotomy focuses on the removal of the pulp in the crown, while pulpectomy involves the entire pulp, extending into the root canals.
Root Canal Treatment
Most people immediately cringe when they hear the words “root canal”. It’s thought of as this nightmare dental procedure that leaves you wincing in pain when actually, it’s pretty standard. In fact, over 41,000 root canal procedures are performed every day according to the American Association of Endodontists. To ensure you feel no pain during treatment, our dentists will numb the infected tooth and surrounding gums with a local anesthetic. Laughing gas or an oral sedative can slo be administered if you struggle with dental anxiety and need help relaxing in the chair.

Deep Cleaning
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning that is used to treat later stages of gum disease. This procedure involves two parts and begins with scaling. First, all plaque and tartar above and below the gumline is removed. It’s important that we clean down to the bottom of each formed pocket during this step. Root planing then consists of smoothing out your teeth roots in order to help your gums reattach to your teeth. Scaling and root planing may take multiple visits and will likely require the aid of a local anesthetic for a more comfortable experience.

Dentures
If you’re looking for a less permanent but still beautiful way to replace a few teeth or even an entire arch, dentures may be the solution for you. Our Ada, MI, dentists offer both full and partial dentures depending on what you need. Either choice is removable but should be cared for when not in use to avoid cracking or warping.

Dental Implants
Before moving forward with any form of tooth replacement, dental implants included, our dentists will need to fully examine your mouth. We’ll look at how many teeth you’re missing, the condition of your other teeth, and whether or not you may need a dental bone graft prior to implantation.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Tooth Extractions
Saving teeth is the number one priority of our Ada, MI, dentists. However, sometimes the damage done to a tooth is severe enough that it’s beyond our repair. The next best option then becomes tooth extraction which fortunately, is a straightforward procedure accomplished with a local anesthetic. After your tooth is out, we can discuss replacement options to pursue once the area is fully healed.
Bone Grafting
Magnetic click-on implants may not be suitable for patients with certain medical conditions or insufficient jawbone density. Patients with significant bone loss may require bone grafting to be eligible for implants, which can increase the complexity and cost of the procedure.

Orthodontics
Early Detection of Issues: Interceptive orthodontics allows for the early detection of potential orthodontic issues, such as overcrowding, bite misalignment, and irregular tooth development.
Invisalign Orthodontics
It’s never too late to correct a crowded or crooked smile. Whether you’re a teenager or adult, our Ada, MI, cosmetic dentists can work with you to determine the best possible positioning for your teeth. We offer both traditional metal braces and Invisalign® clear aligners for patients to choose from. Depending on what you’re comfortable with and your specific oral needs, one option may be better than another. Treatment times will also vary per patient.
Braces
Our cosmetic dentists in Ada, MI, want you to love your new smile. We’ll help create a custom treatment plan involving either metal braces or clear aligners so you can say goodbye to crooked and crowded teeth. Call Norman Family Dentistry today at (616) 676-9177 to request an appointment.

Teeth Whitening
Brightening your smile has never been easier. Our Ada, MI, cosmetic dentists offer two at-home teeth whitening options: Zoom DayWhite and Zoom NiteWhite. Both utilize custom whitening trays made specifically for you, are convenient for busy schedules, and produce little to no sensitivity. All you need to do is apply the safe, yet powerful gel to the trays and pop them in for the specified amount of time.
