Dental Examination
We cannot overstate the importance of regular oral examinations. Our doctor can help assess your wisdom teeth and whether they will need to be removed. Wisdom teeth can have a significant impact on your oral health and your overall health, so we recommend staying vigilant with your daily oral hygiene routine.
X-rays
Periodontal disease is often progressive. If not treated the condition will get worse and surgery may be needed to save affected teeth. However, if you schedule regular professional cleanings and exams, Dr. Lewis can detect developing periodontal problems before the gums and the bone supporting your teeth are irreversibly damaged. During a professional exam, Dr. Lewis will examine your gums for periodontal problems. During this exam, an instrument called a periodontal probe is used to gently measure the depth of the spaces between your teeth and gums. Digital dental x-rays may also be taken to evaluate the condition of bone supporting the teeth and to detect other problems not visible during the clincial examination. Preventing and treating the disease in the early stages are the best ways to keep your smile healthy!
Oral Cancer Screening
These exams include a thorough evaluation, oral cancer screening, head and neck exam, intra-oral camera photos, periodontal (gum) evaluation, and a complete treatment plan.

Teeth Cleaning
Fluoride Treatment
We highly recommend that children receive fluoride treatments twice per year. It is also beneficial for adults to have fluoride treatments.
Dental Sealants
Our dentist might suggest dental sealants for your child during a visit to our office. Sealants are a way to protect your teeth against decay. With any dental treatment, it helps to understand the procedure and how it can impact your childâ€™s oral health.

Fillings
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin sheets of ceramic that are custom fit and bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are an ideal choice for improving your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility. When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to coffee, tea or other staining agents. For strength and appearance, their resemblance to healthy, white tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other restorative options.
Crowns
Crowns, otherwise known as â€œcapsâ€ , are used to entirely cover a damaged tooth. Crowns may be necessary because of broken down old fillings, fractured, chipped or sensitive teeth. Crowns are also used to improve the appearance of natural teeth that are malformed, malpositioned or discolored.
Bridges
There are many reasons to choose a dental implant over a fixed bridge or a removable partial denture that includes a higher success rate, less risk to surrounding teeth, no unsightly hooks or clasps, no need for adhesive and more. Best of all, dental implants have a 97% success rate and are designed to last a lifetime.
Restorative Dentistry
Dr. Lewis has practiced dentistry since 1995, and opened his practice in Omaha in 1997. After practicing at the previous 108th and Q St. location for eight years, Dr. Lewis built his â€œdream officeâ€ in 2005 at the current location when the practice name became Elite Dental. He very much enjoys providing quality preventative, cosmetic and restorative dentistry in a beautiful and friendly environment. He is also a clinical professor at Creighton University where he enjoys the interaction with the students, and has won awards for Outstanding Clinical Instructor of the Year.

Root Canal Treatment
Does the term root canal send shivers up your spine? It shouldnâ€™t. When the technique was first developed a hundred years ago, root canal therapy was uncomfortable. However modern techniques and anesthesia have made todayâ€™s treatment fast, easy, and comfortable.

Deep Cleaning
Periodontal disease (also known as gum disease) is an infection of the gum and bone that hold the teeth in place. If periodontal problems are not treated, they can become severe and may eventually lead to tooth loss. Periodontal disease is often painless and you may not be aware that you have a problem until your gums and the supporting bone are seriously damaged. The good news is that periodontal disease often can be treated in the early stages with a special deep cleaning called scaling and root planing. This procedure helps gum tissues to heal and periodontal pockets to shrink.

Dentures
Good-fitting dentures provide you the ability to eat, chew and even in extreme cases, talk normally. In all patients, they will increase their confidence and ability to interact with friends and family.
Overdentures
Full dentures are for those patients who have lost all their teeth, while partials are recommended for those patients who have some remaining natural teeth. Patients who have lost only a few teeth might be suited for other options including overdentures or bridges.

Dental Implants
Our La Vista dental team can assess you today to see if you are a candidate for single or multiple dental implants or full arch/mouth replacement. There are many factors that go into choosing dental implants and we are here to guide you through the options to ensure you have the information needed to make the best decision for your long term health.

This care emphasizes prevention, early diagnosis and truly conservative treatment. Regular dental care is vital to good oral hygiene and your overall health. These preventative examinations help to diagnose issues and diseases before they become severe and painful, possibly leading to expensive dental treatments and procedures.
