Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry is a branch of dentistry focused on maintaining good oral health and preventing dental issues before they occur. It emphasizes proactive measures to keep teeth, gums, and the entire oral cavity healthy. The primary goal of preventive dentistry is to reduce the need for restorative or surgical dental treatments by promoting good oral hygiene practices and early intervention.

Exams (twice per year)

Dental exams, conducted every six months, evaluate oral health, detect issues like cavities and gum disease, and include professional cleanings. X-rays may be taken. Dentists provide oral hygiene guidance and screen for diseases like oral cancer.

Dental Cleanings

Dental cleanings, often every six months, involve removing plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth. Dental hygienists perform this preventive procedure to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and maintain overall oral health. Regular cleanings are crucial for preserving healthy teeth and gums.

Periodontal care

Periodontal care is of utmost importance for ensuring the health and wellbeing of your teeth and gums. With proper care such as regular cleaning, flossing, and antibiotics, gum disease can be effectively prevented.

Oral Cancer Screening

Oral cancer screening is a quick, painless examination by dentists to detect early signs of oral cancer. It involves inspecting the mouth, lips, and throat for unusual changes or lesions. Regular screenings are essential for early detection and effective treatment of oral cancer, improving the chances of successful outcomes.

Pediatric dentistry

Pediatric dentistry specializes in oral health care for children from infancy through adolescence. Pediatric dentists are trained to address the unique dental needs and concerns of young patients, offering services such as check-ups, cleanings, preventive care, and education to promote lifelong oral health habits.

Mouthguards & Sportsguards

Mouthguards and sportsguards are protective devices worn over teeth during physical activities. They help prevent dental injuries, including broken teeth and mouth trauma, by cushioning impacts. Custom-fitted by dentists, these guards are crucial for athletes in contact sports or any activity with a risk of dental injury.

Snoring & Sleep Apnea solutions

For snoring and sleep apnea, solutions include lifestyle changes, positional therapy, and oral appliances. Lifestyle changes may involve weight management and avoiding alcohol and sedatives. Positional therapy encourages sleeping on one's side.

Smoking Cessation Treatments

Smoking cessation treatments encompass various approaches. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) includes patches, gum, and lozenges. Prescription medications like varenicline and bupropion aid in reducing cravings

Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry is a branch of dentistry focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of damaged or missing teeth and their supporting structures. The primary goal of restorative dentistry is to restore the function, aesthetics, and health of a patient’s mouth. This field of dentistry includes various procedures and treatments to repair and replace teeth that have been affected by decay, trauma, wear and tear, or other oral health issues.

Dental restorations

Dental restorations are procedures that repair and replace damaged or missing teeth. They include fillings for cavities, crowns for tooth protection, bridges and dentures for tooth replacement, and dental implants for a permanent tooth replacement option. These treatments restore dental function and appearance.

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover damaged or weak teeth to restore their strength and appearance. Bridges replace missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth between two crowned teeth. Both options improve dental function and aesthetics.

Custom Partials and Complete Dentures

Custom partials are removable dental appliances that replace multiple missing teeth, attaching to existing teeth. Complete dentures replace all teeth in one or both arches. Both options restore chewing and speaking function, enhancing the smile.

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are dental restorations used to repair damaged teeth. Inlays fit within the tooth's cusps, while onlays cover one or more cusps. They are made from materials like porcelain and provide a more conservative alternative to full dental crowns.

Same Day Dentistry

Same day dentistry, often referred to as CEREC dentistry, uses CAD/CAM technology to create and place dental restorations like crowns or veneers in a single visit. It eliminates the need for temporary restorations and multiple appointments, providing convenience and efficiency for patients.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized field of dentistry focused on improving the aesthetics of a person’s smile, teeth, and overall oral appearance. Unlike general dentistry, which primarily focuses on oral health and function, cosmetic dentistry is primarily concerned with enhancing the visual appeal of teeth and the smile. It includes various procedures and treatments designed to address cosmetic concerns and create a more attractive and confident smile.

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses bleaching agents to lighten and remove stains from teeth. It enhances the appearance of teeth by making them whiter and brighter, improving smiles and boosting confidence.

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front surface of teeth. They improve the appearance of teeth by concealing stains, gaps, chips, and misalignments. Veneers provide a durable and natural-looking enhancement to smiles.

Cosmetic smile design

Cosmetic smile design is a comprehensive approach to enhancing a person's smile. It involves a combination of dental treatments like veneers, teeth whitening, and orthodontics to create a customized, aesthetically pleasing, and harmonious smile that suits the individual's facial features and preferences.

Cosmetic bonding

Cosmetic bonding is a dental procedure where a tooth-colored resin is applied and bonded to the tooth's surface. It corrects minor imperfections like chips, gaps, and discoloration, enhancing the tooth's appearance. It's a cost-effective and minimally invasive cosmetic solution.

Gum contouring

Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or gingival sculpting, is a dental procedure to reshape the gumline. It's used to correct an uneven or excessive gum tissue, improving the aesthetics of the smile and enhancing tooth visibility.

Oral Surgery

Oral surgery involves procedures on the mouth, jaw, and face, performed by specialized oral surgeons. These include wisdom teeth extraction, dental implants, jaw surgery, and biopsy. Anesthesia is necessary, and the procedure takes place in a surgical office. Recovery times vary but are typically a few days before returning to normal activities. Proper preparation and post-operative care can minimize complications, and following the surgeon’s instructions is crucial for a smooth recovery.

Teeth extractions

Teeth extractions involve the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It is typically done for various reasons, including severe decay, damage, infection, or orthodontic treatment needs. Dental professionals perform extractions to maintain oral health and alleviate pain or complications.

Wisdom teeth extractions

Wisdom teeth extractions involve removing the third set of molars, known as wisdom teeth, often due to insufficient space in the mouth, impaction, or the risk of dental issues. This procedure is performed to prevent pain, infection, and oral complications.

Root canals

A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infected or damaged tooth pulp. The dentist removes the infected tissue, cleans, disinfects, and seals the tooth to prevent further infection. It helps save the tooth and alleviate pain.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium, surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth (crowns, bridges, or dentures). They provide a strong, permanent solution for missing teeth, restoring function and aesthetics.

Bone grafting

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that involves adding bone or bone-like material to the jawbone to enhance its structure and density. It's commonly done to prepare the jaw for dental implants or to repair bone loss due to injury or disease.

Specialized Dentistry

Specialized dentistry includes branches such as orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, prosthodontics, pediatric dentistry, and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Orthodontics corrects teeth and jaw alignment, periodontics treats gum disease, endodontics is for treating dental pulp and tissues surrounding the tooth root, prosthodontics restores and replaces damaged teeth. Pediatric dentistry focuses on children’s oral health and oral and maxillofacial surgery is for surgeries concerning the mouth, face, and jaw.

Straighten Teeth

Straightening teeth is the process of aligning misaligned or crooked teeth for improved appearance and function. Orthodontic treatments, such as braces or clear aligners, apply pressure to gradually reposition teeth into a more ideal, straightened alignment.

Grinding, Headaches, and TMJ/TMD

Grinding (Bruxism) involves teeth clenching or grinding, often during sleep, leading to tooth damage. This can cause tension headaches. Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ/TMD) affects the jaw joint, causing jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Bruxism can exacerbate TMJ/TMD symptoms.

Snoring and Sleep Solutions

Snoring is noisy breathing during sleep due to relaxed throat tissues. Sleep solutions include lifestyle changes, positional therapy (side sleeping), and oral appliances. These measures reduce snoring, improve sleep quality, and may alleviate mild to moderate sleep apnea symptoms.

Sedation dentistry

Sedation dentistry involves using medications to help patients relax or even fall asleep during dental procedures. It's used to reduce anxiety, discomfort, or fear, making dental treatments more comfortable and manageable for individuals with dental phobias or extensive procedures.

Laser dentistry

Laser dentistry uses focused laser beams for various dental procedures. It can be used for precise, minimally invasive treatments such as cavity removal, gum disease treatment, and teeth whitening. Laser dentistry often results in less pain, swelling, and faster recovery times.

Emergency dentistry

Emergency dentistry provides immediate dental care for urgent dental issues, such as severe pain, trauma, or infections. Dentists address these emergencies promptly to relieve discomfort, prevent complications, and ensure the patient's oral health and well-being.
