Dental Examination
The road to optimal oral health starts with a thorough dental examination. The Florence Dental Care exam involves more than just looking at your teeth.
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
At the first appointment, new patients are asked to fill out a registration and medical history. Links to these forms are available below allowing you to fill them out in advance. A comprehensive dental exam is performed on the first visit which will give our dentists a baseline starting point for your ongoing dental care. This exam will also include diagnostic x-rays and oral cancer screening. Then, in consultation with the dentist, you will be able to decide on the treatment plan best suited to your needs. Safety is our priority — please see our COVID-19 page or call us with any questions.

Teeth Cleaning
Tooth decay, also known as dental caries, is one of the most prevalent diseases affecting both children and adults and is second only to the common cold in frequency. According to the World Health Organization 60-90% of children worldwide, and nearly 100% of adults have dental cavities. Although tooth decay is a worldwide epidemic, it is also a condition that is largely preventable with effective oral hygiene practices, a healthy diet as well as routine checkups and professional dental cleanings.
Fluoride Treatment
As an added level of protection against dental decay, it is recommended that children receive periodic fluoride treatments as part of a program of preventive dental care. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps to prevent cavities by making the hard outer enamel of the teeth more resistant to the acids produced by the harmful sugar processing bacteria in dental plaque. It can also help to remineralize the teeth to reverse incipient decay.
Dental Sealants
As part of a pediatric dental program of preventive care, the dentist may recommend the application of dental sealants. These thin, plastic-like coatings painted onto the biting surfaces of the newly erupted permanent back teeth provide your child with an added level of protection through the cavity-prone years. Covering the pits, fissures and grooves in the hard to reach back teeth, dental sealants prevent decay-causing bacteria and food particles from accumulating in these vulnerable areas. Sealants may also be useful in areas of incipient dental decay to stop further damage from occurring.

Fillings
For many years, amalgam fillings, more commonly referred to as “silver fillings,” have represented the standard of care in rebuilding the form and function of a tooth that has been treated for dental decay. Composed of a combination of metals that include silver, tin, mercury and copper, dental amalgam has both the strength to withstand the heavy forces generated during chewing as well as the durability to retain its integrity over time. Although not as aesthetically pleasing as other types of restorations, amalgam fillings are less likely than some other types of fillings to break or wear down over time.
Resin Composite
While in the past, many inlays and onlays were caste from gold; today’s dental inlays and onlays are typically custom made of either the highest grade of dental porcelain or composite resins. In addition to providing an exact match to the color of tooth for a cosmetically pleasing result, inlays and onlays have the distinct advantages of being more durable than other fillings, preserving more underlying tooth structure and actually strengthening the tooth so that it can bear up to 50 to 75 percent more chewing forces.
Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom made shells that bond directly to the front surface of the teeth. They are crafted from tooth colored, advanced materials and yield a natural, bright smile. Veneers look like normal teeth and are an ideal choice for improving a smile due to their simplicity and versatility. Unlike most bonding materials, veneers will not change color over time. Placing custom veneers requires a high degree of technical skill as well as attention to cosmetic detail. We place veneers routinely and design each case individually to match a patient’s smile.
Crowns
Using advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing technologies, CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic) enables the dentists at Florence Dental Care to construct, produce, and insert individual ceramic restorations directly chairside in a single appointment. This capability eliminates the need for multiple appointments with lab work in between and is far more economical. CEREC can be used for crowns and the repair of most tooth decay with ceramic materials that are tooth-colored for an accurate match.
Bridges
Crown lengthening is a common procedure that is routinely performed to re-contour gum tissue and bone, as needed, with the intent of making more tooth structure available for the placement of a dental crown or dental bridge. This is often the case when a tooth is decayed or otherwise damaged below the gum line.
Dental Bonding
Involves the placement of tooth-colored resin material to enhance their color, shape or size of a tooth. It is one of the simplest cosmetic procedures we can do for our patients. The procedure usually involves the removal of minimal tooth structure and in one visit you can have a new smile. Cosmetic bonding is one of the most conservative, versatile and affordable ways to aesthetically restore a multitude of smile problems including...

Root Canal Treatment
A root canal procedure is considered one of the most effective methods of saving and retaining a tooth that has been severely compromised by dental decay or injury.

Periodontal Surgery
When gum disease has advanced beyond the initial stage, periodontal surgery is often recommended to effectively remove bacteria and tartar from around the teeth, reduce gingival pocket depth, restore lost tissue as possible and halt the disease process. Untreated gum disease is a progressive condition, which will continue to compromise the appearance of one’s smile, dental health, oral function and overall well being if the appropriate measures are not taken.
Deep Cleaning

Dentures
A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. There are two types: complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Florence Dental Care can provide the appropriate solution depending on a patient's individual situation.
Overdentures
Overdenture - An overdenture is a type of complete denture that receives added stability and support from special attachments that are secured to the remaining underlying teeth or strategically placed dental implants.

Dental Implants
Permanent and stable structures, implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support and will not decay or break like teeth. Dental implants are an ideal solution for tooth loss because they look, feel and function like natural teeth.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Jaw Surgery
While most malocclusions will respond to the appropriate orthodontic treatment, some require a combination of orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery to improve the skeletal jaw relationships.
Flap Surgery
While a surgical procedure known as flap surgery during which the tissue is surgically reflected away from the teeth and bone so that the area can be treated before the tissue is sutured back into place, is typically performed, some practitioners are now using soft tissue laser procedures to reduce pocket depth.
Gum Surgery
Gum disease is typically the result of inadequate or ineffective oral hygiene practices that lead to the accumulation of dental plaque, which is sticky film that is colonized by oral bacteria. The harmful bacteria and the products they produce provoke a defensive, inflammatory response in the gums. When this inflammation is not resolved, tissue damage ensues and spaces between the gums and teeth that are known as periodontal pockets develop. As the periodontal pockets deepen, the bacteria become more difficult to remove and the gaps between the surface of the teeth and gums get larger. When pocket depth increases to the point of being beyond the reach of deep cleanings and other conservative methods of care (5mm or more), gum surgery to clean and treat the damage to gums and underlying bone is recommended.
Tooth Extractions
There are many dental issues, which can affect the positions of the teeth and jaws that require orthodontic treatment to resolve. A malocclusion may be due to crowding, spacing, problems with jaw development, or the failure of certain teeth to erupt into their proper positions. Harmful oral habits such as finger sucking or tongue thrusting can also cause bite problems as well as the drifting of teeth into the unrestored spaces left by dental extractions or tooth loss. Sometimes, teeth develop in the jawbone facing in directions that prevent them from erupting at all. These teeth are referred to as impacted.
Ridge Augmentation
In addition to bone grafting for purposes of ridge preservation or augmentation to allow for dental implants, an aesthetic ridge augmentation procedure to restore the natural contours of the bone is sometimes performed in preparation for fixed bridgework to achieve a more cosmetically pleasing result.
Bone Grafting

Orthodontics
Invisalign Orthodontics
An innovative, discreet, and effective system of care, Invisalign® treatment offers a cosmetic way to align your smile with minimal interference to daily activities using a series of clear aligners.
Braces
No. Unlike braces, you may eat whatever you like as long as you remove the aligners before eating. Prior to placing the aligners back on, it is important to brush your teeth and the aligners after you eat.
