Preventive care including X-rays, Dental Cleaning: Preventive dentistry is intended to prevent dental problems and related health conditions before they start. The health of your mouth is vital to the health of your body. Healthy teeth are less likely to need extensive dental procedures. You can keep your teeth and yourself healthy by brushing and flossing every day as well as getting regular dental exams. We now use a Piesoelectric cavitron, which never gets hot, rather than the older ultrasonic method for a faster and more efficient cleaning.

Periodontal (gum) Therapy: Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a potentially serious condition in which the gum tissue surrounding the teeth becomes infected and inflamed. Over time, this infection can erode the bone around the teeth, loosening them and eventually causing tooth loss. Once, gum disease required painful surgery, but today periodontal gum therapy is convenient laser dentistry treatment. While conventional gum treatment often requires repeated procedures to be effective, laser gum therapy is less painful, less invasive, and more effective in a single treatment.

Laser Periodontal (Gum) Treatments: Laser gum treatment is a noninvasive, painless procedure that can treat a wide range of gum conditions with advanced laser technology. This safe and affordable treatment can be used to treat gum disease; repair deep gum pockets, sore gums and tooth damage; and improve a gummy smile. During laser gum treatment, no damage or changes are made to healthy teeth and gums. The laser is aimed directly at the targeted area without cutting any gum tissue and seals the area as it treats. There is no need for stitches and minimal risk of infection or bleeding with this conservative yet effective treatment. Laser Periodontal Therapy offers numerous advantages over traditional periodontal therapy.  The benefits to our patients are:

• Less Invasive – scalpel and suture-free
• Little or no bleeding
• Faster Healing / less swelling / less discomfort
• Reduced risk of infection
• Less “down-time” for patient

No need to delay or decline periodontal treatment due to fear – of pain, scalpel, lost time from work or other commitments.  Laser Periodontal (Gum) Therapy eliminates those negatives by providing a stress free experience.  It’s like LASIK eye surgery for your gums!

Crowns & Bridges: Crowns are used to strengthen and improve the shape, size or color of teeth. They can support broken or weak teeth or those with large fillings; provide a smooth, strong, attractively contoured surface for stained, misshapen or otherwise abnormal teeth; and aid in the implantation of bridges and other implants. Bridges are natural-looking tooth replacements which help maintain facial structure, reduce stress on the jaw and fill in the gaps caused by missing teeth. They can also reduce your risk of gum disease, restore your ability to bite and chew and improve your speech. Fixed bridges are cemented to the existing teeth and do not come out. Removable bridges can be taken out and cleaned at home.

    

Pediatric Dental Care: Comprehensive Dentistry is dedicated to providing the highest quality dental care to children and adolescents. Pediatric dentistry is an area of specialization that focuses on the treatment of children from birth to adolescence with a concentration on growth, development, and behavioral guidance for children. Your child should have a comprehensive dental examination every 6 months, which includes a thorough exam of the teeth and gums. We use the findings from our examination to formulate a complete diagnosis and comprehensive treatment plan for your child.

Root Canal Therapy: Root canals can prevent tooth loss when there is damage to the soft core of the tooth (the pulp). During the procedure, the damaged pulp is removed, the root canal is cleaned and sealed off, and a crown is bonded to the tooth to maintain strength.

Dentures: Patients who have lost their natural teeth due to decay, periodontal disease or injury can suffer from related problems including further decay, difficulty eating and speaking, and drooping of facial muscles. Full and partial dentures replace the missing teeth both aesthetically and functionally, providing support and restoring the smile. Full (complete) dentures are used when all of the natural teeth have been lost, while partial dentures fill in the gaps between natural teeth. The gums, dentures and any remaining natural teeth will need to be cleaned regularly to prevent staining, sores and plaque build-up. Flexible Dentures have the strength, flexibility and ultimate comfort that patients are looking for.  Features and Benefits of Flexible Partial Dentures are:

• Utmost Comfort & Precision Fit
• Translucent, Virtually Invisible
• Monomer and Metal-Free
• Superior Esthetics

Night Guards / Bite Splints: According to recent studies, one third of people either brux or clench their teeth.  Identifying the signs of bruxing and clenching is very important to prevent future loss of teeth.

A comfortable night guard is a simple inexpensive protection from this harmful para-functional habit of grinding.  In more severe situations, a bite splint is recommended.
