Dr. James Swick II, DDS

Dental Examination
We like to do comprehensive exams every three-to-five years. A comprehensive exam is one in which we assess your total oral health. We perform x-rays, grab real-time images with our intraoral cameras, evaluate the condition of any current restorations like fillings, bridges, dentures, or implants. We screen for oral cancer using visual and manual methods, and we create a treatment plan just for you.
X-rays
This month, we examine a few things that dental x-rays can help us diagnose as well as some different types of x-rays you may have.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral Cancer is much more common that you probably realize. In fact, while risk factors like smoking and drinking do increase the odds of oral cancer, anyone can be at risk. All adults should be screened for it regularly. Dr. Swick performs oral cancer checks with a special method in which he checks your mouth, neck, throat, and face visually and by touch.

Teeth Cleaning
For both women and men, your dentist is a key part of your healthcare team. To fully protect your health and take care of your body, commit to dental checkups every six months. If you’re overdue for a dental cleaning, call to schedule an appointment today.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is one of the best tools to keep mouths healthy for life. We offer fluoride to children at every single visit, and to adults when we think it would help. Sometimes, fluoride treatments may be used to combat gum disease. Fluoride restores minerals to your tooth enamel that help to make your teeth stronger and harder. When your enamel is strong, it better resists decay.

Fillings
Veneers
As we age, our smiles sometimes lose a bit of their luster. Other times, you may simply be unhappy with the way your teeth look when you smile. In these cases, porcelain veneers could help restore both beauty and confidence. Porcelain veneers are very thin pieces of porcelain, shaped and color matched to your specifications. After Dr. Swick prepares them by slightly reducing the size of your teeth so the veneers will look natural, they are applied with an incredibly strong bonding agent. Porcelain veneers are a permanent enhancement and they last up to 15 years.
Crowns
Say what? Inlays and onlays are comparable to fillings, but they’re usually bigger and used to strengthen a tooth that is too damaged for just a filling, but not quite damaged enough to justify a crown. Inlays and onlays are made of porcelain, and the difference is which part of the tooth they cover. An inlay covers a corner or some irregular portion of the crown. An onlay covers all four corners of the bite surface.
Bridges
Dr. Swick uses either metal-free or PFM (porcelain fused to metal) crowns and bridges depending on your specific needs. A crown is essentially a helmet for a badly compromised tooth. Most often, crowns are used after a root canal or when a tooth is severely broken. A bridge takes the place of missing teeth. It basically holds replacement teeth in place by getting support from the adjacent healthy teeth.
Dental Bonding
If a person’s smile has gaps or chips, composite bonding may be a good cosmetic option. Composite is a tooth-colored dental material we use to fill gaps,smooth edges, or take care of chips. It looks and feels just like your natural tooth, and can restore balance and harmony to a damaged smile.
Restorative Dentistry
Dental crowns may often be considered a form of restorative dentistry, but they can also hold a cosmetic purpose. A crown, also known as a cap, covers a tooth in its entirety and can change the size, shape, or strength of a tooth. Crowns may also be used after a root canal in order to make the tooth stronger. Crowns are custom-created to blend seamlessly into a smile.

Root Canal Treatment
When a tooth gets infected, the only answer is often a root canal or an extraction (pulling it). We encourage people to keep their natural teeth as much as possible, so root canals afford you that opportunity. While root canals have the reputation of being horribly uncomfortable, it’s actually the infection that precedes them that is painful. Dr. Swick does root canals in house.

Deep Cleaning
Gum disease (periodontitis) is serious business. Did you know there are links between gum disease and heart attack or stroke? We offer a number of different options for treating periodontitis including scaling and root planing, which are very deep cleaning methods; laser treatment; and the antibiotic Arestin. If you have gum disease, Dr. Swick will help you decide which option is right for you.

Dentures
Your dentist in Columbia wants patients to know that dentures need to be properly cared for in order to stay clean and comfortable for the wearer. Let’s take a closer look at what...

Dental Implants
WITH IMPLANT DENTISTRY, YOU HAVE SOME OPTIONS. HERE AT SMILECARE, DR. SWICK IS CERTIFIED TO BOTH PLACE THE IMPLANT POST AND THE RESTORATION.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
While Dr. Swick does small, uncomplicated extractions (removing a tooth from the gum) in-house, he will send you to an oral surgeon he trusts if you need a larger procedure like removing a wisdom tooth or an impacted tooth (one that hasn’t come out of the gum at all or only partially).
Tooth Extractions

Orthodontics
He earned his DDS from West Virginia University School of Dentistry, and did a year-long residency in Richland Memorial Hospital. He’s a member of AGD, ADA, Greater Columbia Dental Association, American Association of Endodontists, International Association of Orthodontics, and The American Academy of Implant Dentistry. Dr. Swick also completed the year-long American Academy of Implant Dentistry comprehensive continuing education course to bring the best methodology in implant placement to his patients.
Braces
At our Columbia dental office, we want all of our braces patients to have fun this Halloween and enjoy some treats...

Teeth Whitening
Ask Dr. Swick about take-home whitening trays from Opalescence. These are custom-fitted whitening trays that come with professional-strength whitening gel. Just follow the instructions carefully and wear the trays for 15-20 minutes each day. In just two weeks, you’ll notice a dramatic change in your smile. If you have questions, give us a call. We’re glad to help.
Cosmetic Dentistry
As your dentist in Columbia knows, cosmetic dentistry is really just a broad term that actually describes a variety of dental treatments that can enhance the appearance of your smile.
