Dental Examination
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
An integral part of maintaining your teeth for life is the removal of plaque and tartar on a regular basis. The frequency of your visit is based upon your individual needs and oral health. During your visit we will update your medical history, do a clinical exam, which includes oral cancer screening and taking the necessary radiographs (x-rays) and review oral hygiene instructions. In other words, we are checking for cavities and monitoring your periodontal (gum and bone) condition.

Teeth Cleaning
Fluoride Treatment
We recommend a fluoride treatment for ages 1 to 18 every prophylaxis appointment. Individual consideration is given to every patient based on cavity risk, water supply and oral hygiene to assess the need for a fluoride treatment. After 18 it is optional depending on the patients home care and clinical condition. We provide fluoride in a gel, rinse or foam format. Then the patient is not allowed to eat, drink or smoke for half an hour after the procedure is done. We also dispense prescription fluoride supplements and toothpastes for patients with moderate to high risk for cavities or have tooth sensitivity.
Dental Sealants
Sealants (BPA free) are a simple procedure in which a tooth-colored or white opaque “coating” is painted onto the chewing surface of the tooth. This is a highly effective way along with good oral hygiene and a healthy diet to prevent the decay of teeth.

Fillings
Resin Composite
The direct technique usually involves placing composite resin on the outside of the tooth using bonding. This method is usually referred to as bonding.
Veneers
Veneers are a dental procedure in which a covering is placed over the outside (visible area) of the tooth. Veneers are usually only applied to the part of the tooth that is visible when talking or smiling. The procedure can be direct or indirect.
Crowns
These are restorations to repair a severely broken tooth by covering all or most of the tooth after removing old fillings, fractured tooth structure, and all decay. The restoration material is made of gold, porcelain, composites, or even stainless steel. Dentists refer to all of these restorations as “crowns”. However, patients often refer to the tooth-colored ones as “caps” and the gold or stainless steel ones as “crowns”.
Bridges
Crowns and bridges are used to restore and enhance teeth that are damaged or to take the place of missing teeth. A crown (also referred to as a cap) is used to entirely cover a damaged tooth. A crown not only strengthens a tooth, but it can dramatically improve a tooth’s appearance, shape and alignment.
Dental Bonding

Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment (also referred to as root canal therapy or endodontic therapy) is made necessary when an untreated cavity reaches all the way to this pulp. Treatment may also be needed when deep restorations or trauma to a tooth cause nerve damage. Once the pulp becomes infected, and can begin to eat away at the surrounding bone (this is known as an abscess). If the pulp is infected, not only is it painful but it will require treatment as it cannot heal on it’s own. Symptoms that indicate the pulp has become infected may include sensitivity to hot/cold or sweets, pain, swelling, pain to biting or pressure, and a bad taste in the mouth. However, sometimes no symptoms are apparent and you may be unaware of any problem until a checkup.

Deep Cleaning
Arestin is an FDA approved antibiotic, which consists of 1 mg of minocycline. These microspheres are a powder like substance that easily and effectively kill germs when placed around the teeth. It stays working up to 28 days after placement. This is a great adjunct and very effective when placed after the scaling and root planning procedure. It can also be used during the periodontal maintenance phase. For more info please visit www.arestin.com.

Dentures
A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. There are two types of dentures available, including partial and complete dentures. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, while complete dentures are used to completely replace all teeth. Dentures are made to resemble your natural teeth so there should be no noticeable change to your appearance. In fact, dentures may even improve your smile!

Dental Implants
A dental implant is an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth as a result of injury, periodontal disease, or any other reason. A dental implant is a post that a periodontist or oral surgeon places into the jaw. Once in place and bone surrounding the implant has had time to heal, a replacement tooth is attached to the post. Implants are the best option to replacing your missing teeth other than your own natural dentition.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Tooth Extractions
For a simple extraction, we will first apply a local anesthetic to prevent pain and discomfort. The tooth will be loosened with a tool called an elevator and then removed with dental forceps. Once the procedure is complete, the area may be closed with one or two stitches. We will then provide you with care instructions to alleviate discomfort and ensure proper healing.

Braces
FDA approved ClearCorrect is the “invisible” way to straighten your teeth without wearing conventional metal braces. ClearCorrect uses a series of clear, removable custom-made aligners to move your teeth. Because you remove your aligners before you eat and drink, there are no food restrictions or problems with flossing or brushing. This technology is also more comfortable, avoiding the mouth abrasions that can be caused by the metal and wires of conventional braces. And this technology is also more convenient, since you are likely to spend less time in the doctor’s office getting adjustments.

Teeth Whitening
Tooth whitening is a dental procedure to make teeth whiter and brighter, and therefore more attractive. Vital teeth whitening is a safe and relatively painless procedure that is ideal for most patients. Our office offers two methods of whitening: Zoom Chairside Whitening and Zoom Take Home custom tray whitening.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry includes procedures correct imperfections or enhance the appearance of the mouth. Tooth color, alignment, spacing as well as regularity of the teeth are the characteristics that give the overall appearance. Any of these can be enhanced to provide a stunning new smile.

He is an accredited member and serves as a mentor in the Academy of Facial Esthetics. Also, a member of American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, Mass.
