Periodontics

Periodontal (gum) disease can lead to more than just an unsightly smile – it can cause loss of teeth and eventually, if left untreated, serious health problems. Called gingivitis in its early stages, periodontal disease is caused by excessive toxic bacteria (found in plaque) that attack your mouth’s soft tissues. Early warning signs of this disease include red, swollen, bleeding gums. If caught early, we can help you reverse the damage. If detected late, we can use one of many effective cosmetic dentistry procedures to restore your mouth to a healthy, beautiful state. Let our dentist help you keep your teeth and gums strong and disease-free with regular examinations and cleanings.

Sealants & Fluoride Treatments

Tooth decay, otherwise known as cavities, can be a significant problem for children as well as adults. There are numerous factors that lead to tooth decay and there are ways to prevent it. With the use of sealants, we can cover the deep grooves in your back teeth and extend their life while helping to prevent cavities.

Partial Dentures

Do you have a missing tooth (or teeth) that you have been meaning to replace? We feature metal-free partial dentures, which are a comfortable denture solution that blends in with your existing teeth. Partial dentures are used to replace multiple missing teeth in a painless, cosmetically pleasing fashion. It is important to oral health to replace missing teeth, because remaining teeth can drift and change position, causing unnecessary damage to tissues in the mouth.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation Dentistry

You can have a healthy and beautiful smile with amazingly comfortable sedation dentistry. We care for patients with these concerns:

• I’m afraid of needles and shots.
• I’ve had bad experiences before.
• I have not been to the dentist in a long time.
• I always gag when having dental work done.
• I just can’t seem to get numb.
• All my teeth are too far gone.

Root Canal Therapy

Did you know that each tooth contains a long, thin strand of dental pulp that provides the tooth with nutrients and nerves and extends through the tooth's root? If the pulp becomes infected or injured, the tooth's nerves die, often without endodontic treatment. In this case the tooth would have to be removed. Root canals are designed to save such damaged teeth. During the procedure (after the tooth is numb), the diseased pulp is removed and the tooth is permanently sealed with a gold, porcelain or tooth-colored crown.
