Dental Examination
Dr. Bartels works with the patient to complete an oral exam, digital x-rays, periodontal charting, and oral cancer screening. This comprehensive information is gathered to provide patients with the best treatment choices.

Teeth Cleaning
Children will be excited to visit the dentist when they see our dedicated kids treatment room. Exploring the "Jungle" is a fun and memorable experience for kids of all ages; putting them at ease and allowing us to provide the best dental care. Each room has a TV with on-demand children's programming. We encourage visits from all children starting six months after their first tooth.

Fillings
Silver fillings are known as amalgam fillings. They are composed of a mixture of metals and other elements that are then packed into the area where the cavity was removed. They are mechanically held in place by the preparation of the tooth. Amalgam fillings have been around for a long time and are a proven and successful treatment for tooth decay.
Veneers
The dental drill is another common word that patients don’t like to say. The dental drill is used to remove decay and prepare teeth for restorations. Once again technology has allowed the dentist to provide restorations with less use of the dental drill and sometimes no use. Cosmetic procedures, like veneers, can be accomplished many times without even drilling on the teeth. Air abrasion can also be used on children and small fillings without having to use a drill or give much or any anesthetic.
Crowns
Quickly locate the tooth and pick it up carefully, touching the crown (top) and not the root if possible. Rinse the tooth if needed, but don’t clean it or handle it unnecessarily. If the tooth is whole, not broken, gently reinsert it into the socket. Hold the tooth in place by biting down on clean gauze or cloth. If you can’t reimplant it, transport it in a cup of milk or water. This helps keep the root alive until you can see us. Timeliness is crucial to help save the tooth.
Bridges
A fixed bridge is a great permanent option to replace one or more missing teeth. It uses a false tooth to fill the empty space while the neighboring teeth provide support.

Root Canal Treatment
Are you having sensitivity to hot and cold, or when chewing? Let us save your tooth. Root canals remove the nerve of the tooth and allow you to keep your natural smile. Dr. Bartels ensures timely treatment to relieve you from pain.

Deep Cleaning
The process of removing plaque and calculus is often referred to as scaling and root planing. It may also be called deep cleaning. If we talk about the ‘traditional method’ of scaling and root planing it commonly involves using specialized instruments called hand scalers to manually remove the plaque/calculus above and below the gums. On the other hand, ultrasonic scalers are basically an electrical version of the hand scalers. The tips of ultrasonic scalers are designed to vibrate at a very high frequency, allowing effective removal of plaque and calculus. Ultrasonic scalers have been shown to have a slight advantage over hand instruments at treating periodontal disease. Their action not only removes the calculus, but is also able to target bacteria under the gums and flush away debris during the cleaning process. The indication for using hand versus ultrasonic scalers should be based on the needs and desires of the individual patient.

Dentures
Implants are now seen as the gold standard for replacing missing teeth or holding dentures and partials in place. With an average lifespan of 40 years and a success rate of 97%, implants are the best choice for treatment.

Tooth Extractions
This is a great question and I understand that sometimes a tooth just cannot be saved. If that is the case and the tooth has to be removed it is very important to have that tooth replaced. Dentistry has many exceptional options for tooth replacement. It is important to talk to your dentist prior to tooth extraction about these options so a plan can be properly made and carried out.

Orthodontics
The beauty of dentistry today is that there are so many options to choose from to match your lifestyle and desired results. Many times orthodontics can be paired with veneers to not only straighten teeth, but also shape and whiten them to the desired results. Please consult with your dentist for options that work best for you.

Braces
Thankfully, there are many options for adults to straighten their teeth. These options can adapt to any lifestyle or career. Just a few of these options include retainers, clear aligners, and FastBraces. Retainers and clear aligners have come a long way and can now be used for many adult concerns with straightening teeth. The nice thing about these two options is that they work fast and are removable. Braces have also changed and can be done with clear brackets and some treatment completed in only 4 months; usually having the best results.

Teeth Whitening
Now let’s talk about convenience. Time is everyone’s enemy but technology is here to save the day. It is amazing that we are able to tell a patient that we can complete a majority of their dental care in a short single visit. One visit crowns, implants, and whitening are just a few of the great treatments offered in office. With the use of digital technology, CAD CAM technology, and smaller faster equipment time is not an enemy.
