Dental Examination
Preventative Dentistry focuses on protecting and maintaining your teeth in order to keep them healthy. Our goal is to bring every mouth to a healthy state; free of gum disease, cavities and other oral diseases. Routine six-month oral examinations and cleanings help us reach this goal. With emphasis on proper brushing and flossing habits we guide you to a healthy and beautiful smile.

Teeth Cleaning
Space Maintainers
Also if your child has a cavity in a baby molar, this tooth is supposed to stay in the mouth until age 10-12. If not treated the tooth may decay further, causing an infection in the tooth, leading to more invasive treatment (Pulpotomy, pulpectomy, stainless steel crown) and may even end up being prematurely extracted. If a tooth ends up getting prematurely extracted, it may lead to space issues for the new permanant teeth, and your child may end up needing a space maintainer. Just get the cavities filled, It’s easy!

Fillings
The most common choices for filling most cavities are between silver amalgams (a mixture of silver-tin alloy, copper and mercury that sets up hard and silver colored) and composite resin (a mixture of acrylic plastics, quartz fillers and colorants). There are several differences besides the obviously more esthetic results of composites over amalgams. A big difference, which insurance companies seem to consider the most important, is longevity. Amalgams last up to 20% longer than similar composite restorations. Since amalgam fillings have been around much longer than composites, they have more research and at this point are proved to last longer. These factors make silver fillings more economical than the more natural looking composites, so that is why insurance companies rarely approve of a composite filling in the back teeth. (They will substitute payment for the cheaper amalgam when they receive a claim for posterior composites — just look at any Explanation of Benefit forms for composite filling you may have received.) Besides being virtually invisible, composites have a property of bonding to the tooth structure. This bonding can protect and increase the overall strength of the tooth being restored. Composite resin fillings have come a long way, the newer generation composites are very strong and at the same time have very aesthetic results. They are more expensive and are technique sensitive. We pride ourselves in doing beautiful, strong and functional composite, resins (tooth- colored) fillings. However certain teeth or areas may be better off with amalgam filling (silver). The choice of which restorative material to use in your mouth depends on balancing the factors of appearance, longevity, strength of the tooth involved and cost. A consultation with one of our Dentists will help you decide which type of filling will be better for you. Sometimes the dentist may recommend changing an old filling that may be chipped, fractured or corroded. Some fillings that are old may still be doing well and don’t need to be changed.
Resin Composite
Veneers
A veneer is a thin shell made out of porcelain or composite material. They are custom made and cemented to the front and side of the tooth. A veneer can be used to treat dental conditions such as slightly crooked teeth, discolored teeth, chipped teeth or they can be even be used to cover/fill spaces in between teeth. They are very beautiful and last a long time.
Crowns
Crowns are a type of dental restoration which, when cemented into place, fully cover the portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. In comparison, fillings are dental restorations that fill in or cover over just a portion of a tooth. Since dental crowns encase the entire visible aspect of a tooth, a dental crown in effect becomes the tooth’s new outer surface. It holds the tooth and protects it from fracture and functions as a normal tooth in the mouth

Pulpotomy
Root Canal Treatment
When there is a cavity (decay, or caries) on a tooth, the decayed part of the tooth needs to be removed. If the decay is not removed from the tooth, it will grow bigger and turn into bigger problems ending in root canal therapy or possible loss of that tooth. Once the decay is removed, a filling is placed. Fillings have limitations and in order to be successful a relatively strong tooth is needed to support the filling.

Dentures
Complete dentures are used to replace teeth when there are no teeth remaining. The teeth are prefabricated acrylic, which come in many sizes, shapes, and shades. They are processed into a custom made acrylic base, which is made to comfortably fit the gum tissue in your mouth. If you have teeth in your mouth that are not restorable or saveable but you do not want to be seen without teeth even for a day, there is the option of getting an Immediate denture. This is a denture that is fabricated before your teeth are extracted, You get the denture the day of your appointment to get your teeth extracted. It is an excellent option.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Tooth Extractions
There are some cases in which a tooth cannot be saved, the damage is irreversible. In these situations a tooth extraction may be required or recommended by your dentist. A tooth extraction means the tooth must be removed by your dentist. This is also a good time to discuss options on how to replace the tooth/teeth after it is extracted.

Orthodontics
Orthodontics stands as a specialized field within dentistry that focuses on the correction of misaligned teeth and bites, aiming to enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of a patient’s smile. The primary goal of orthodontic treatment is to achieve proper alignment, addressing issues such as crowded teeth, gaps, and irregular bites.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment is used to straighten teeth and correct a misaligned bite. Orthodontists align teeth with braces by applying constant pressure in a desired direction. The pressure is adjusted at prescribed intervals over the course of the orthodontic treatment, which can last from one to three years or longer depending on the severity of the patient’s case. There are several types of orthodontic braces available to consumers, including the traditional metal braces and now the new, clear Invisalign. It is important to investigate you options and speak with your dentist to find out what is best for you.
