Glisten Dentistry

Dental Examination
At your child’s initial dental checkup, we’re more interested in helping them get as comfortable as possible and being acquainted with the office first. We’ll also take time to answer any questions you may have about your child’s at-home oral hygiene or future treatments to consider. Following this discussion, we’ll perform a brief oral exam and remove any plaque or tartar we see to protect their smile from decay in the meantime.
X-rays
Using a digital X-ray system is safe and effective, eliminating the need to bite down on uncomfortable film, cutting down on radiation exposure, and saving the environment from harmful chemicals needed to process standard film. Over time, our water system is saved from approximately 200 liters of toxic developing substances by using digital rather than traditional X-rays.
Oral Cancer Screening
Unfortunately, keeping up with your oral hygiene at home can’t solve every problem. This is why Dr. Hammond routinely conducts oral cancer screenings with her patients, so she can give them a clean bill of health. The goal of getting regularly screened is to catch this deadly disease in its early stages so the chances of having it successfully treated are higher. At Glisten Dental Care of Tulsa, we focus on preventive treatment, so our patients don’t have to wonder about the state of their health. To get the peace of mind that you deserve, visit our website to schedule an appointment today!

Teeth Cleaning
Are you due for your routine dental checkup and teeth cleaning? Do you want to take the first step towards transforming your smile? You can easily schedule your next dental appointment or consultation with our team at Glisten Dental Care of Tulsa by filling out the information requested below. Once you submit the form to our team, we’ll reach out to you to find the best time and date to schedule your visit.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride has been shown to promote the remineralization of enamel and provide a level of protection against decay. We recommend fluoride treatments for both children and adults. Although insurance benefits tend to only cover treatments for children, these companies are not in the business of dental care and should not tell you what is best for your oral health. We find that the benefits of treatment are well worth the minimal investment.
Dental Sealants
Although current research shows that sealants and composite restorations containing BPA are safe, our office provides BPA-free materials to those who prefer this option.
Space Maintainers
Addressing tooth decay early on gives us the option of acting more conservatively, filling the cavity with tooth-colored composite material. Should a baby tooth require extraction, a space-maintainer may be needed to keep surrounding teeth from shifting position.

Fillings
Practicing mercury-free dentistry means approaching restorative care without the use of amalgam fillings. These long-used dental restorations are fabricated from mercury, tin, silver, zinc, and copper. Research has shown mercury as the second most toxic substance on earth, to which there are no safe levels of exposure. Dr. Hammond restores teeth using composite and other dental materials that do not contain mercury and is trained in the safe removal of existing amalgam fillings. Using a precise technique and a specifically designed pump/evacuation filtration system, Dr. Hammond ensures the safety of the patient, her team, and our local water supply. For more information on the removal of amalgam fillings and their alternatives, contact us.
Resin Composite
When you think of a filling, you probably cringe when you envision a piece of metal shining bright in a person’s smile, right? It’s understandable. No one wants to shine the spotlight on their dental work, especially if it’s because of a cavity. Thankfully, you can say goodbye to the metal and hello to tooth-colored fillings in Tulsa! At Glisten Dental Care of Tulsa, Dr. Lindsey Hammond can repair your tooth using a composite resin that blends in beautifully with the rest of your smile, leaving your tooth in its natural state, fully protected with only you knowing you’ve had work done. Call us today to schedule your appointment!
Veneers
Do you have flaws or imperfections in your smile that you wish would just disappear? At Glisten Dental Care of Tulsa, we have the answer! Dental veneers can conceal and correct a wide range of cosmetic dental issues. We typically craft them from porcelain because this material has proven to be resistant to stains, extremely durable, and highly aesthetic, looking very much like natural enamel. The dental laboratory with which Dr. Hammond works offers several choices in porcelain, allowing our patients to attain their most naturally attractive smiles. Keep reading to learn more about veneers in Tulsa and how you can benefit from receiving them.
Crowns
Despite your best efforts, decay can penetrate through the outer layer of your teeth, resulting in extensive damage. When this happens, your teeth need some extra reinforcement to get back to full strength. That’s where dental crowns come in. At Glisten Dental Care of Tulsa, we offer only the best restorative dentisry options so that our patients can keep their smiles happy and healthy. So, don’t go another day suffering from oral pain or a toothache. Instead, get in touch with our team to see whether a dental crown in Tulsa is right for you!
Bridges
Currently, over 120 million U.S. adults are missing at least one permanent tooth. So, if you are struggling to smile confidently, chew pain-free, or speak clearly due to tooth loss, you’re certainly not alone. Fortunately, that’s where dental bridges in Tulsa come in! This durable, lifelike tooth-replacement solution is not only long-lasting, but also cost-effective. Want to see if a dental bridge is the solution you’ve been looking for? Don’t hesitate to give us a call!
Dental Bonding
At Glisten Dental Care of Tulsa, we know better than anyone how even the tiniest cosmetic flaws in your smile can detract from your overall appearance and cause your mood and self-confidence to plummet. That’s why we offer dental bonding – an easy treatment that can instantly correct minor smile imperfections. Read more below to learn all about dental bonding in Tulsa and how it can benefit you.
Restorative Dentistry
Even when you take the time to care for and protect your smile, life happens, and teeth become damaged either by decay or physical trauma. Regardless of the cause of your damaged teeth, Dr. Hammond offers multiple solutions to make them whole again. Not only can we ensure they don’t break down further and remain functional for years to come, but we use tooth-colored materials to bring them back to their original luster. Give our Tulsa dental office a call to schedule an appointment and learn more about your restorative dentistry options!

Root Canal Treatment
Having a root canal treatment with Dr. Hammond results in the removal of damage without the typical fear and anxiety associated with this procedure. Our dental office is equipped with technology and techniques that allow our patients to feel comfortable and confident that they are in good hands. Dr. Hammond administers ample local anesthetic to numb the area before beginning treatment to ensure the process is painless. Many of our patients comment that this procedure is even easier than having a filling placed!

Deep Cleaning
Before Dr. Hammond begins the process of administering a deep cleaning, otherwise known as scaling and root planing, she will numb your gums to prevent any pain or discomfort during the treatment. It is not uncommon to experience some soreness or tenderness after these visits, so the use of a cold compress or over-the-counter pain reliever can help alleviate some of the discomfort you may experience.

Dentures
Dentures are a popular tooth replacement option because they can enable even individuals who have lost all or most of their teeth to regain a complete smile. Dr. Hammond has helped many patients discover the benefits of this tried-and-true tooth replacement method. If you would like to find out whether dentures in Tulsa are a good fit for your circumstances, don’t hesitate to contact our dental office to schedule a consultation.

Dental Implants
Various circumstances could lead to the loss of a tooth or teeth. Whatever the cause, the replacement of a lost tooth is extremely important. Even a single missing tooth can impact not just your confidence, but also your oral health. Gaps between teeth may result in a shift that could throw off the bite as well as the appearance of teeth. This extra space allows bacteria to thrive, leading to an increased risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and potentially serious health conditions. Replacing missing teeth with dental implants in Tulsa offers a permanent solution with great benefits.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Kendra studied at Dental Careers of Tulsa, and she has over three years of experience with oral surgery assisting. She is certified in X-rays and BSL. Today, what she enjoys most about her job is helping patients regain their confidence through a healthier, happier smile while also working with such a great doctor and team! Outside of the dental office, she and her husband Ian have a daughter named Lydia and a son named Brody. Her personal hobbies include camping, boating, going to the lake, taking road trips, and traveling with loved ones. In addition to her dental expertise, she’s a licensed hair stylist and cosmetology instructor.
Gum Surgery
After your gum surgery, bleeding, tenderness and swelling are all common. Use a cold compress in 10-minute intervals on the day of your surgery to reduce the occurrence of these side effects. Take your prescribed medication as directed and be careful not to touch the area with your fingers. You should also avoid brushing the teeth near the sutures, but clean the rest of the teeth and the gums as normal. Do not spit, rinse or use a straw.
Tooth Extractions
Dr. Hammond wants all of her patients to enjoy their natural, healthy teeth for as long as possible. However, when a serious problem occurs that requires the removal of a tooth, she is ready to provide the high-quality care you deserve. Tooth extractions in Tulsa are never her initial recommendation. However, if your oral health is at risk, she and our team at Glisten Dental Care of Tulsa will be happy to walk you through the process and ensure that your smile remains in optimal shape for years to come. Call us today if you have a problem tooth that needs to be removed.
Bone Grafting
If you’re missing at least one tooth, chances are you’d make a good dental implant candidate. You might just require preparatory work first, like bone grafting or gum disease therapy.

Orthodontics
However, there are also substantial health benefits that come with beautifying your smile, especially if your treatment involves orthodontics. Aligning your teeth can make them easier to clean, greatly improving your oral health.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Your treatment with Invisalign in Tulsa begins a few weeks after your consultation when you return to our dental office to start straightening your smile. Invisalign trays are made in a series, and each tray is worn for approximately two weeks. You then switch to the next one in the series until the treatment is complete.
Braces
In the past, in order to address orthodontic problems like misalignment, crowding, and bite problems, patients only had one choice — traditional braces. Today, that’s not the case! Dr. Hammond offers modern and discreet Invisalign clear aligners that gradually place a strategic amount of pressure on teeth to slide them into their ideal positions. The result is a grin that’s healthier and more beautiful, and you don’t have to compromise your appearance in the process! Call Glisten Dental Care of Tulsa today to schedule a consultation and learn whether you’re a candidate for Invisalign.

Teeth Whitening
Although some smiles may need extensive work and complex procedures to make them more appealing, sometimes just a simple change like whitening teeth can make a world of difference. At Glisten Dental Care of Tulsa, we are proud to offer more than one solution to meet patients’ needs and turn back the clock on dental stains. Schedule an appointment today for our Opalescence in-office or take-home teeth whitening treatments in Tulsa!
Cosmetic Dentistry
Of course, many of the benefits of cosmetic dentistry are self-evident. Having a smile you can truly take pride in will greatly improve your confidence, making a large impact on both your social life and your career. These treatments can also undo the negative effects of aging on your teeth.

Dr. Hammond is an active member of the American Dental Association, the Oklahoma State Dental Association, the American Academy of General Dentistry, and SPEAR Education.
