Preventive Care

• Comprehensive Oral Exams
  Regular checkups to evaluate teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, and existing dental work. This helps detect issues such as cavities, fractures, infections, and early signs of oral disease.

• Professional Teeth Cleanings (Prophylaxis)
  Removal of plaque and tartar buildup above the gumline, followed by polishing to help keep teeth smooth and easier to clean at home.

• Digital X-Rays & Imaging
  Low-radiation imaging to detect decay between teeth, bone loss, infections, cysts, impacted teeth, and other concerns that aren’t visible during a regular exam.

• Oral Cancer Screenings
  Visual and tactile examination of the cheeks, tongue, lips, throat, and jaw area to check for early signs of oral cancer or precancerous changes.

• Fluoride Treatments
  Professional-strength fluoride applications to help strengthen enamel and reduce the risk of tooth decay (commonly offered for children and cavity-prone adults).

• Dental Sealants
  Thin protective coatings applied to the grooves of back teeth (molars and premolars) to help prevent cavities, especially in children and teens.

• Personalized Home Care Instructions
  Guidance on brushing, flossing, and product recommendations (toothpaste, mouthrinse, interdental brushes, etc.) tailored to each patient’s needs.

Restorative Dentistry

• Tooth-Colored Fillings (Composite Fillings)
  Used to repair teeth affected by cavities or minor fractures. Composite materials are shade-matched to blend naturally with your existing teeth.

• Amalgam (Silver) Fillings
  Metal fillings sometimes used in back teeth for strength and durability (you can remove this if the practice is “metal-free”).

• Inlays and Onlays
  Custom restorations used when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but doesn’t yet require a full crown.

• Dental Crowns (Caps)
  Tooth-shaped restorations that completely cover and protect a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance.

• Dental Bridges
  A fixed option for replacing one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants.

• Complete & Partial Dentures
  Removable options for replacing multiple or all missing teeth to restore function, support facial structure, and improve chewing and speech.

• Implant Restorations
  Placement of the crown, bridge, or denture that attaches to a dental implant after surgical placement by an oral surgeon or periodontist.

• Tooth Bonding
  Use of tooth-colored resin to repair chips, close small gaps, or improve the shape and appearance of individual teeth.

Extractions & Minor Oral Surgery

• Simple Tooth Extractions
  Removal of teeth that are badly decayed, cracked beyond repair, or contributing to crowding or other issues.

• Surgical Extractions
  Removal of teeth that may be broken at the gumline, impacted, or not easily accessible.

• Wisdom Tooth Evaluation & Extraction
  Assessment of third molars and removal when indicated (you can clarify if complex wisdom teeth are referred out).

• Alveoloplasty (Smoothing of Bone)
  Contouring the bone after extractions to prepare for dentures or improve comfort and fit.

Occlusal (Bite) & TMJ-Related Services

• Bite Analysis & Adjustment (Occlusal Adjustment)
  Evaluation of how upper and lower teeth come together and minor reshaping if needed to improve comfort and function.

• Nightguards for Bruxism (Teeth Grinding/Clenching)
  Custom-made appliances worn during sleep to help protect teeth from excessive wear and reduce strain on the jaw joints.

• TMJ/TMD Evaluation
  Assessment of jaw joint function, muscle tenderness, and related symptoms such as clicking, pain, or limited opening.

Emergency Dental Care

• Same-Day or Next-Day Emergency Visits
  Prompt care for sudden dental issues such as toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, swelling, lost fillings or crowns, and dental trauma.

• Pain Management & Stabilization
  Diagnosis of the source of pain and immediate steps to relieve discomfort and protect the tooth until definitive treatment can be completed.
