Abg Dental of Elkhart

Dental Examination
X-rays
Oral health comes in a wide variety. Toothpaste, dental floss, electric toothbrushes, water picks, and a type of mouthwash for dry mouth, mouth sores, and cavities. We are given many tools to help create a healthy mouth and strong teeth. However, rarely do people have perfect oral health and it is completely normal to miss brushing or flossing your teeth. Always make sure to keep your routine teeth cleanings and dental appointments to stay on top of any teeth that may progress into cavities, and of course call your dentist if there is a break, crack, or consistent pain. Your dentist will look over your dental x-rays and make a plan. Most likely this plan will be for a dental filling.
Oral Cancer Screening
Dental care is important throughout life because it impacts your overall health and wellness, not just your teeth. While tobacco, alcohol, and HPV are the leading causes, anyone can be at risk for oral cancer. Every year, almost 40,000 Americans are diagnosed with oral cancer. Regular dental checkups can help you prevent and detect it early. Adults 20-40 years old should get an oral cancer screening every 3 years and those over 40 should have annual screenings.

Teeth Cleaning
Gum disease is typically caused by a build-up of bacteria, food particles, and saliva on your teeth. This is more commonly known as "plaque". Over time, this plaque can harden and turn into tartar. Tartar is much more difficult to remove than plaque and can only be removed by a professional dental cleaning.
Fluoride Treatment
Dental Sealants
Your childrenâ€™s back teeth have many deep and narrow grooves that the bristles on their toothbrush just cannot reach. Sealants are a material that bond to the tooth to help make keeping your childâ€™s teeth easier to clean. Placing a sealant makes these grooves much shallower, therefore easier to clean. This helps prevent cavities down the road.

Fillings
Resin Composite
Today, dentists actually have a wide range of fillings they can choose from. Gold, silver amalgam, porcelain, and composite resin are all normal filling types. Gold is more expensive, and with the ability to match a toothâ€™s color it is dying out as an average filling. Silver amalgam is a filling that is mixed with a variety of different metals. It is cheaper than gold but is still sturdy and should last ten to fifteen years. Unfortunately, it does tend to discolor other areas of the tooth into a gray and can expand and shrink with temperatures more than other fillings. Tooth colored composites are more sought after, as the filling then blends into the other tooth without drawing attention to it. Composites are less sturdy, and depending on where they are, they can chip away.
Veneers
We offer two solutions to help you brighten your smile. First we offer teeth whitening which removes the stains on your teeth that have accumulated over the years from things like tea, coffee, and smoking. Second we can look at porcelain veneers, which cover stains that cannot be removed. Veneers can also close spaces that you may not care for. Our goal is to make you proud to show off your smile.
Crowns
Many people try to ignore oral health issues because dental procedures can be scary and costly. But some are necessary to preserve your teeth and to avoid more costly, time-consuming procedures in the future. So how do you know if it's time to visit your dentist to discuss dental crowns? A severe toothache, discoloration of the tooth, receding gums, sensitive teeth, and/or a cracked tooth are the 5 key signs of a problem that might require a dental crown.
Bridges
Whether missing just one or several teeth, dental implants can provide the rock-solid foundation you need to provide the aesthetic, stable, and high-quality support necessary to replace them; life-like single crowns and bridges are possible. If you are wearing a complete or partial denture, you can increase your chewing capacity and stability to nearly that of the natural teeth youâ€™ve lost by adding implant support or stabilization. The process is customized to your needs.
Restorative Dentistry
Dental Implants represent the highest form of restorative dentistry at this time. Comprehensive diagnosis and planning of a patientâ€™s restorative needs followed by plan that not only meets those needs, but leaves the patient better off than he or she was originally, is a true service to the patient.

Root Canal Treatment
Pain is the bodyâ€™s way of telling us something is wrong, and you should never ignore it. So if you have a toothache that has not gone away after brushing and flossing your teeth, it is most likely a deep cavity or an infection in the pulp or root. Most likely the tooth is already infected and inflamed, which is what is causing the pain, and youâ€™ll require the tooth to either be pulled or get a root canal to save what a dentist can.

Deep Cleaning
The first step in treating gum disease is to remove the tartar from the teeth. This can be done by a professional dental cleaning or by scaling and root planning, which is a procedure that removes tartar from below the gum line. Once the tartar has been removed, your dentist will likely recommend that you use an antibacterial mouthwash or toothpaste to help control the bacteria in your mouth.

Dentures
Absolutely, we would be more than happy to evaluate you to help determine your need for dentures and partials. This treatment is usually completed in approximately 4 appointments to help ensure the best fit for you, which will help you enjoy your smile for many years to come.

Dental Implants
Cutting edge knowledge of the processes involved in accomplishing this task and operative skill are essential to achieving the goals of treatment. Dr. Edward J. Mills is a pre-eminent master of the art and science of dental implantology. He is known world-wide for his research and skill in the field. Dr. Rundle has been fortunate to be invited by him to join his implant study group in Atlanta, Georgia. The group is made up of roughly thirty of the countryâ€™s best implant clinicians who meet quarterly to discuss the latest advances in implant dentistry and patient care. The group, under Dr. Mills, shares insights into regenerative techniques and restoration of physiologic form and function using a variety of grafting and implant materials.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Tooth Extractions
For serious infections, tooth extraction may be the only option. Depending on the severity of tooth decay and pain the patient is experiencing, a dentist may refer the patient to an oral surgeon. Oral surgeons are able to administer sedatives to painlessly remove the tooth and any infected tissue. A single tooth extraction can take as little as 20-40 minutes! Typically addition tooth extractions will add another 10 minutes per tooth to the procedure and patients will be fully healed in under one month.

Teeth Whitening
When it comes to teeth whitening, there are a few different options available. You can buy over-the-counter products, or you can go to a professional for treatment. Teeth whitening treatments offered by professionals can be expensive, but is the cost worth it? In this article, we will consider the pros and cons of professional teeth whitening and help you decide if it is the right choice for you!
