Making life better.

Regular Dental Examinations are an important part of preventative health care. A Dental Examination is where the Dentist inspects your head, neck, face, and mouth for abnormalities and evaluates your risk of developing oral diseases. These include cavities, gum disease, infections (bacterial, fungal or viral), muscle and jaw joint disorders and even cancer. 

Radiographs (X-Rays) are a way of seeing things that are going on in your mouth that the normal eye can not detect. These include cavities in-between teeth and under fillings. They also aid in detecting changes in bone structure that can can happen from things such as infections, gum disease and some types of tumors.

Professional tooth cleaning and polishing involves removing plaque off of teeth with the intention of preventing cavities, gingivitis and periodontal disease. Tartar or calculus as well as some stains are also removed from the teeth leaving the teeth smoother and easier to routinely clean at home. After the teeth are polished they are whiter and give you the feeling of having a fresh, clean mouth. 

Fillings and crowns are ways of restoring teeth. Modern techniques and materials allow us to restore a tooth by removing the damaged part of the tooth and rebuilding the tooth so that it looks, feels and acts like the tooth did before it became damaged. It leaves the tooth looking good, feeling great, and lasting a long time.  

Losing a tooth does more than just put a hole in your smile.  Thankfully there are great alternatives to having a missing tooth. Dental implants and bridges are solutions that stay in your mouth.  Partial and complete dentures come in and out of your mouth.   They can be attached to dental implants for better retention and improved comfort. Let us know what you want and we can help you get it.

Having an imbalanced bite is probably the number one undiagnosed or misdiagnosed problem in dentistry today.  It also the number one cause of over half of the top ten most common tooth problems. Keeping the teeth clean only prevents cavities and gum disease. Correcting the bite prevents teeth from cracking, chipping, fracturing, abfracting, wearing down, and moving.   An uncorrected bite may also lead to fatigue, facial pain, jaw pain, and head aches.
