What is teeth cleaning?
Teeth cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, is a thorough cleaning of your teeth and gums to remove plaque, tartar, and stains. Our dental hygienists use specialized tools to gently remove the buildup that can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath. After your teeth are cleaned, your hygienist will polish them to remove any remaining stains and leave your smile looking bright and healthy.
‍
Why is teeth cleaning important?
Teeth cleaning is an essential part of maintaining good oral health for several reasons, including:

Preventing tooth decay and gum disease: Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to cavities and gum disease if left untreated. Regular teeth cleanings can help prevent these issues.

Fresher breath: Bad breath is often caused by bacteria buildup in the mouth. Teeth cleaning can remove these bacteria and leave your breath smelling fresh.

Brighter smile: Removing surface stains from your teeth can make them look brighter and healthier.

Early detection of issues: During your teeth cleaning appointment, our dental team will also perform a thorough oral exam to check for any signs of oral health problems. Early detection is key to successful treatment.

If you're due for a teeth cleaning or if you have any questions or concerns about your oral health, please don't hesitate to contact our dental office. We're here to help you maintain a healthy smile!

What is dental fluoride?‍
Fluoride is a mineral that occurs naturally in water and some foods. It is also added to toothpaste, mouthwash, and other dental products. Dental fluoride is a concentrated form of fluoride that is applied to your teeth in a gel, foam, or varnish. It helps prevent tooth decay by strengthening your teeth and making them more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars in your mouth.
‍
Why is dental fluoride important?
Dental fluoride is an important preventive service for several reasons, including:

Reducing the risk of tooth decay: Dental fluoride helps protect your teeth from decay-causing bacteria and sugars.

What are dental sealants?
‍Dental sealants are thin, plastic coatings that are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). These teeth have deep grooves and pits that can trap food particles and bacteria, making them more susceptible to decay. Dental sealants seal off these grooves and pits, creating a smooth surface that is easier to clean and less likely to develop cavities.
‍
Why are dental sealants important?
Dental sealants are an important preventive service for several reasons, including:

Reducing the risk of tooth decay: Dental sealants provide an extra layer of protection against decay-causing bacteria.

Saving time and money: Preventing cavities with dental sealants can save you time and money in the long run by reducing the need for more extensive dental treatment.

Protecting children's teeth: Children are particularly susceptible to tooth decay, and dental sealants can help protect their teeth during the cavity-prone years.

Easy and painless: Applying dental sealants is a simple and painless process that can be done in just one visit to our dental office.
‍
If you're interested in dental sealants for you or your child, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to help you maintain a healthy and beautiful smile!

What are cavities?
Cavities, also known as tooth decay, are caused by bacteria in the mouth that produce acid, which can eat away at the tooth enamel. If left untreated, cavities can lead to tooth pain, infection, and even tooth loss.
‍
How are cavities treated?
Cavities are typically treated with dental fillings, which involve removing the decayed part of the tooth and filling the space with a material such as composite resin, amalgam, or gold. The filling material restores the shape and function of the tooth while preventing further decay.
‍
Why are fillings important?
Fillings are an important part of treating cavities for several reasons, including:

Stopping the decay: Filling a cavity prevents the decay from spreading further and causing more damage to the tooth.

Restoring the tooth: A filling restores the shape and function of the tooth, allowing you to chew and speak properly.

Preventing infection: If left untreated, a cavity can lead to infection and other oral health problems.

Improving appearance: Modern filling materials can be matched to the color of your teeth, making them virtually invisible.

If you suspect you have a cavity or if you have any questions or concerns about your oral health, please don't hesitate to contact our dental office. We're here to help you maintain a healthy smile!

One of these services is root canal treatment, which can save a damaged or infected tooth from extraction.
‍
What is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment is a procedure that removes the damaged or infected pulp from the inside of a tooth. The pulp is the soft tissue that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When it becomes infected or damaged, it can cause tooth pain, sensitivity, and other oral health problems. Root canal treatment removes the damaged pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and fills the space with a material that restores the tooth's function and prevents further infection.
‍
Why is root canal treatment important?
Root canal treatment is an important dental procedure for several reasons, including:
‍
Saving the tooth: Root canal treatment can save a damaged or infected tooth from extraction, which can help preserve your natural smile and prevent further oral health problems.

Relieving pain: Root canal treatment can alleviate tooth pain and sensitivity caused by damaged or infected pulp.
‍
Preventing infection: Root canal treatment removes the source of the infection, preventing it from spreading to other teeth and causing further oral health problems.

Restoring function: After root canal treatment, the tooth is restored to its normal function, allowing you to chew and speak properly.

If you think you may need root canal treatment or if you have any questions or concerns about your oral health, please don't hesitate to contact our dental office. We're here to help you maintain a healthy and beautiful smile!

One of the services we offer is the placement of crowns and bridges. These restorative dental treatments can help restore your teeth's function and appearance, so you can enjoy eating and smiling with confidence.
‍
What are crowns?
A dental crown, also known as a "cap," is a tooth-shaped cover that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth. Crowns can be made of different materials, including porcelain, ceramic, gold, or a combination of these. They are customized to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, so they blend in seamlessly with your smile.
‍
When might you need a crown?
Dental crown may be recommended if you have:

A large cavity that cannot be filled with a filling.
A cracked or fractured tooth.
A weakened tooth that has undergone a root canal.
A discolored or misshapen tooth that affects your smile's appearance.
A dental implant that needs a crown to complete the restoration.
‍
What is the process of getting a crown?
Getting a dental crown typically requires two appointments.

During the first appointment, your dentist will prepare your tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to fit the crown. Then, they will take impressions of your tooth, which will be sent to a dental lab to create your custom crown. In the meantime, you may receive a temporary crown to protect your tooth.

At your second appointment, your dentist will remove the temporary crown and place your permanent crown. They will check the fit and color to ensure it looks and feels natural. Once everything is adjusted, your dentist will cement the crown into place.

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. Bridges are made of a false tooth (pontic) that is held in place by two dental crowns on either side. The crowns are attached to the adjacent teeth or dental implants to create a secure and stable restoration. Like crowns, bridges can be made of different materials, depending on your needs and preferences.
‍
When might you need a bridge?
A dental bridge may be recommended if you have:
‍
One or more missing teeth that affect your chewing or speaking ability.
Teeth that have shifted due to the gap left by missing teeth.
A desire to improve the appearance of your smile and facial structure.
A need to prevent remaining teeth from shifting or drifting out of place.

What is the process of getting a bridge?
Getting a dental bridge usually requires two or more appointments.

During the first appointment, your dentist will prepare the adjacent teeth or implants to support the bridge. They will remove any decay and shape the teeth to fit the crowns. Then, they will take impressions of your teeth, which will be sent to a dental lab to create your custom bridge. In the meantime, you may receive a temporary bridge to protect your teeth.

At your second appointment, your dentist will remove the temporary bridge and place your permanent bridge. They will check the fit and color to ensure it looks and feels natural. Once everything is adjusted, your dentist will cement the bridge into place.

We're here to help you achieve a healthy and beautiful smile. One of the services we offer is Invisalign, a discreet and effective alternative to traditional metal braces. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to gently shift your teeth into the desired position.
‍
How does Invisalign work?
To begin your Invisalign treatment, your dentist will take digital impressions of your teeth to create a 3D model of your smile. This model will be used to plan your treatment and create a series of custom aligners that will gradually shift your teeth. You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next set in the series.
‍
Why choose Invisalign?
Invisalign offers several benefits over traditional metal braces, including:
‍
Discreet appearance: The clear aligners are virtually invisible, so you can straighten your teeth without anyone noticing.
‍
Removable design: You can remove the aligners to eat, brush, and floss, so you don't have to avoid certain foods or deal with brackets and wires that can trap food and make oral hygiene more difficult.

Comfortable fit: Invisalign aligners are made of a smooth, flexible plastic that is comfortable to wear and doesn't irritate your mouth.

Predictable results: You can see a preview of your new smile before you even start treatment, thanks to the digital 3D modeling used in the planning process.

Shorter treatment time: Invisalign treatment typically takes about 12-18 months, which is faster than traditional braces for many cases.

If you're interested in learning more about Invisalign or if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our dental office. We're here to help you achieve the smile you deserve!

We offer a variety of restorative dental treatments, including dental implants, to help you regain your smile's function and appearance. Dental implants are a long-lasting and natural-looking replacement option for missing teeth.
‍
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small, biocompatible titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the missing tooth roots. Once the implants have fused with the jawbone, they can support a variety of dental restorations, including crowns, bridges, and dentures.
‍
Why choose dental implants?
Dental implants offer several benefits over other tooth replacement options, including:

Long-lasting: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective investment in your oral health.

Natural-looking: Dental implants are designed to look and function like your natural teeth, so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Prevent bone loss: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that can occur after tooth loss.

Preserve neighboring teeth: Unlike dental bridges, which require adjacent teeth to be shaved down, dental implants do not require any alteration of healthy teeth.

Stable and comfortable: Dental implants are anchored securely in the jawbone, so you don't have to worry about slipping or discomfort like with removable dentures.
