Dental Examination
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends at least two oral health exams per year, and we would love to have you here for those exams! Each exam is relaxing and comfortable, beginning with a review of medical history following a thorough inspection of your teeth. Regular visits help identify issues like cavities and gum disease, two things that can cause everything from general discomfort to gum disease and worse. Additionally, x-rays, oral cancer screenings, assessment of tooth wear and premature tooth contact in your bite, periodontal evaluations, and external jaw muscle inspection are also part of the robust examination. Luckily a twice-yearly comprehensive oral exam will help greatly reduce the chance of these problems. Get rolling on your journey to better oral health and schedule an appointment today.

X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Were you aware the death rate for oral cancer is higher than cervical cancer? Additionally, of the more than 30,000 Americans who are diagnosed with oral cancer each year, about 25 percent are not tobacco users. When detected early, oral cancer is more treatable. For this reason The Centre for Contemporary Dentistry offers Vizilite oral cancer screening. Vizilite use makes early detection of oral cancer fast, easy, and pain-free. Typically, a Vizilite oral cancer screening is combined with a regular dental exam, after your dentist completes a visual examination. Our dental professionals want you to enjoy a long and healthy life, and early detection of oral cancer is one of many ways to help.

Teeth Cleaning
Maybe you have been considering a different dentist for a while or perhaps you are new to the area. The Centre for Contemporary Dentistry is dedicated to creating a comfortable and relaxing dental experience for you, no matter what procedure you require. Oral hygiene is an important part of your health. The most advanced technology is used to clean and protect teeth and gums. Though at home daily hygiene care is a great start, your teeth can be their best and brightest every day with regular professional cleanings and preventative dentistry. The aim is to make every visit simple and full of relaxation through a friendly and stress-free atmosphere. We have the people, expertise, and attitude you need to achieve and maintain great dental health!
Dental Sealants

Veneers
A veneer is a special, conservative technique used to modify anything from a single tooth or an entire smile by changing the size, shape, color, or position of the teeth with a slight reduction of tooth structure. The minor external change made facilitates a major cosmetic difference with an advanced, strong, durable, and natural material bonded to the teeth. Veneers are permanent, and a complimentary consultation is highly recommended in order to review all of your options.
Crowns
Waiting days or weeks for a dental crown could potentially be a thing of the past. If your tooth qualifies, computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) will be used to create same-day dental crowns. A series of 3D images of your tooth are used, as input into the E4D crown-creation machine that completes the milling process right in the office! That’s right - a comfortable and snug dental crown created just for you the with no waiting on the laboratory. This revolutionary innovation in dental care drastically shortens the crown entire process, so you can get back to your regular routine in as a little as two hours. No more hassling with schedules to fit in multiple days of a dental work! Time is important, and E4D same-day dental crowns can ensure a quicker visit and strong dental crown.
Bridges
Dental Bonding
Cosmetic dental bonding is one of the easiest and least expensive cosmetic procedures used to perfect a smile. There is no time spent waiting to get products back from a lab, local or general anesthesia is almost never required, and the amount of trauma to the area is kept to a minimum. The main goal is always to restore teeth to their proper shape and size, which will help improve the overall health and appearance. The process is used to fix a number of problems, including: Teeth that are decayed, cracked, or chipped, discoloration that is not responding to normal cleaning, closing gaps between teeth, changing shape or adding length to “short” teeth, and even protecting the root of a tooth that has been exposed by receding gums.

Root Canal Treatment
Possibly the most maligned dental procedure, root canal therapy is actually an extremely common process that can help save a tooth – and we have made them easy and painless! There are different issues that can cause infections within a tooth, but however it happens, a root canal is required to clean and seal the tooth. A CBCT scan is used to create a 3D image for efficient and precise cleaning of the tooth. The area is disinfected through the use of a special laser that is ten-times better at disinfecting than previous traditional and chemical processes alone. The entire root canal process can often be done in one visit. We’ve taken the fear out of the procedure. If you feel you may need a root canal, call us today!

Periodontal Surgery
Soft tissue therapy is the most common way to solve periodontal (gum) disease, but the problem persists, expect the latest and best technology in the industry on your side. A special periodontal laser system allows pinpoint accuracy in attacking the affected tissue around the tooth or teeth. Once the infected area is cleared away, the tooth itself is cleaned of all plaque and calculus, and the root is smoothed to prevent further buildup. Laser therapy is significantly less invasive than regular periodontal surgery and treatment can be delivered directly to the affected area while promoting important reattachment of gum tissue. On top of all the positives, overall healing times will be significantly faster following therapy!

Dentures
If you have ever been without even a single tooth for an extended period of time, you know how important it is to replace missing teeth. Aside from being potentially aesthetically unpleasing, teeth around untreated gaps can drift within gums, facial muscles can sag, and gums can recede down toward the jaw bone. Whether it’s replacing every tooth or closing a gap of a few teeth, full or partial denture sets can play a huge role in oral health. Dentures can improve your smile, renew confidence, and increase comfort while eating and speaking. Dentures are are easy to maintain, especially with regular checkups. Our dentists would love to review how exactly full or partial dentures can improve your smile – call us today!

Dental Implants
Grafting plays an extremely important role in oral health. To help correct many potentially serious issues, a graft is used fill voids left by the roots of teeth that have either fallen out or been extracted, or to replace missing gum tissue on the roots of teeth. With a tooth or teeth not filling their proper place in your jaw, the bone and soft tissue around the void will go away, almost like the body assumes the tissue is no longer needed. This is not just aesthetically unpleasing, but can cause health problems as well. To prevent this from happening, a natural material is placed in the void on the root to promote regeneration. The grafting process aids with a few important procedures, including anchoring dental implants and protecting tooth roots. The main goal of a graft is to fully restore the jaw’s structure to its pre-problem strength and appearance.

Orthodontics
Chronic migraine headaches can be debilitating, and have many different triggers that range from neurological disorders to stress and even food sensitivities. Pain emanating from the temporomandibular (TM) joint can be caused by injury, illness, and progressive strain, causing an uneven bite and undue pressure that can also trigger migraines. An examination of the TM joint and bite could be the beginning of a solution that finally relieves your migraines. After documenting your medical history, x-rays, and superficial assessment of the jaw muscles, a treatment plan can be built around the exact cause of the problem. If possible, treatment could include relieving pressure with a custom orthotic appliance, alignment of the bite using necessary orthodontics, or physical therapy.
Braces
Every oral health professional’s first goal is to protect your existing, natural teeth through any number of dental procedures. Sometimes there are instances where teeth simply cannot be saved - when this happens, the office is equipped with top-of-the-line equipment and ready to extract what’s necessary. There are many reasons why our clients, young and old, may require an extraction. Baby teeth may not be falling out when they need to, or there are extra teeth in the way of braces. Wisdom teeth may need removed for any number of reasons, or there could even be serious medical implications, and an extraction is required. No matter the reason, we will walk you through your extraction process from start to finish, explaining each procedure along the way.

Teeth Whitening
Life is better with options, like the two most efficient and successful ways to whiten teeth. You have the choice of infrared laser technology and the ZOOM! UV light system to help you achieve your teeth whitening goals. Laser therapy uses a beam of light aimed directly at the teeth that need attention. The laser activates a special bleach gel applied to the affected areas, creating a faster process with less post-procedure therapy. ZOOM! has a similar setup, instead whitening your entire smile at once rather than specific teeth. Both are significantly more effective than at-home solutions, and take a minimal amount of time.
