Dental Examination
The good news is that regardless of whether you are insured, comprehensive dental exams carry a highly affordable price tag compared to what you can expect to pay for the treatment you will likely need if you neglect to undergo regular checkups. The average out-of-pocket expense for a
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Bacteria in plaque and tartar can cause gum disease, which has been linked to heart disease and other conditions. Routine exams can protect your periodontal and overall health. Many exams also include an oral cancer screening.

Teeth Cleaning
Regular cleanings and exams can eliminate tartar and allow your dentist to catch issues in the earliest stages, when they are most treatable.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatment comes in many forms. If you would prefer to avoid trays and gel, your dentist can use varnish. This is gently painted on the front, back, and top of teeth and will harden in seconds. The entire procedure takes no more than two minutes. Simply leave the varnish on for six hours (you can return to normal activities immediately), and remove it with a toothbrush later in the day.
Dental Sealants
Made of a thin plastic coating, dental sealants act as literal shields against decay-causing bacteria so that your child’s smile stays healthy.

Fillings
Amalgam fillings have a darker, silver color once applied to teeth, making them instantly noticeable. On the other hand, composite fillings are tooth-colored, allowing them to blend with the rest of the tooth.
Resin Composite
Dental fillings are used to restore teeth damaged by decay or cavities. In the past, dentists filled cavities with metal amalgam. The dark silver restorations were obvious against natural tooth enamel, and some patients had problems with fillings due to their mercury content. Today, the Cordova Dental team prefers and uses composite resin, tooth-colored fillings. These metal-free restorations look completely natural, so only you and your dentist will know that you have fillings.
Veneers
Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made porcelain shells that conceal imperfections and give your smile a healthy, symmetrical look.
Crowns
If you have been told you need a filling or dental crown, you might first require a preparatory procedure called crown lengthening.
Bridges
A dental bridge is a completely customized set of prosthetic teeth that fills the gap in your smile and provides lasting comfort.
Dental Bonding
Lacking confidence in your smile can impact your quality of life in more ways than one. Dental bonding is a very accessible solution that can drastically improve the appearance of your teeth.
Restorative Dentistry
Dental implants are a landmark in restorative dentistry that has allowed millions to stop struggling with unstable dentures and other issues. By choosing to replace your lost teeth with implant-supported restorations, you can expect to be able to speak clearly, eat all the foods you love, and smile with pride.

Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is the complete removal of the pulp. This relieves pain, eliminates infection, and preserves the exterior tooth structure.

Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
Gum disease can reach a stage at which antibiotics, scaling and root planing, and other solutions cannot resolve periodontal pockets (areas of loose tissue that allow bacteria to collect). Gingivectomy may be the only solution.
Periodontal Surgery
While scaling and root planing and other types of gum therapy can help treat mild to moderate cases of gum disease, advanced periodontal disease may only be effectively treated with gum surgery. Periodontal surgery can help your dentist restore oral health and aesthetics to your gums. There are many types of gum surgery procedures being practiced, but your dentist will help you choose which treatment is right for you based on the condition of your smile and your desired outcomes. Treating advanced gum disease can help you improve your overall health, as gum disease has been linked to serious systemic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. With the help of advanced technology, gentle techniques, and comfortable sedation, you can undergo surgery in less time and with less pain than ever before.
Deep Cleaning
Early gum disease is known as gingivitis, and few symptoms are expressed. In fact, some patients with gingivitis experience no symptoms. Treating gingivitis may simply involve changing your oral homecare routine and using special mouthwash. However, a deep cleaning may also be suggested if gingivitis has progressed.

Dentures
In the past, dentures created many frustrations for patients. Today’s dentures offer an improved fit, feel, and appearance over the prosthetics of previous generations. With proper care and maintenance, and good health, natural teeth can last a lifetime. However, lack of access to dental care, improper oral hygiene, disease, medications, and injury can cause teeth to become irreparably damaged or lost. When the best solution is dentures, you can rest assured that modern options will improve your quality of life, oral function, and appearance. To learn about how dentures can benefit you, schedule a consultation at Cordova Dental with Dr. David Ijams or Dr. Clarissa Turner.

Dental Implants
With proper care, dental implants can last 40 years or longer. While restorations will eventually need to be replaced, your implants can provide lifelong benefits.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
If your treatment plan involves oral surgery, you may need to take time off work for recovery. Tell your dentist about your work commitments so that he or she may factor that into your treatment plan.
Jaw Surgery
Pre-prosthetic Surgery
Your recovery from pre-prosthetic surgery will largely depend on the type and extent of your procedure. It is common to experience some swelling and inflammation after most treatments. Your doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatories, and you can also take over-the-counter medications to minimize discomfort.
Flap Surgery
This treatment for advanced gum disease is also known as gingival or gum flap surgery and may be necessary if you have periodontal disease that does not respond to scaling and root planing. After removing the plaque and tartar from your teeth, your dentist will create an incision on your gums to access the underlying tooth structure. He will then remove the infected gum tissue, address any bone damage, and remove bacteria that can cause future gum disease.
Gum Surgery
For patients with severe gum disease, gum surgery can restore periodontal health and prevent more serious issues
Maxillofacial Surgery
If you need a prosthesis but have sustained gum recession or jawbone atrophy, pre-prosthetic surgery can restore the form of your smile. Pre-prosthetic surgery refers to any form of oral or maxillofacial surgery that helps to prepare your mouth for a dental restoration. Depending upon your needs, treatment may involve rebuilding areas of bone loss or smoothing the gums and alveolar ridge. The goal of surgery is to ensure your denture fits as comfortably and snugly in your smile as possible.
Tooth Extractions
Dentists only recommend this treatment if it is absolutely necessary. Failure to create a proper foundation for a restoration is risky and could result in the need for tooth extraction in the future.
Ridge Augmentation
To determine the right form of surgery for you, your doctor will assess the root cause of irregularities. Treatment may include bone reshaping, ridge augmentation, or removing excess tissue.
Bone Grafting

Orthodontics
Depending on your unique concerns and the root cause of your teeth grinding, your dentist may also recommend orthodontics, stress therapy, or jaw exercises to further relieve the uncomfortable symptoms of teeth grinding.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Each Invisalign® system comes with a series of custom-made, removable, clear acrylic aligners that need to be worn at least 22 hours per day. No brackets, wires, bands, or metal are involved. Available Invisalign® systems include...
Braces
Six Month Smiles is the accelerated orthodontic treatment that can give you a dazzling smile in a fraction of the time that braces require.

Teeth Whitening
Over time, the hard, porous coating of enamel on our teeth can discolor, making teeth appear dingy and off-white. Age, darkly pigmented foods and beverages, tobacco use, and certain medications can cause tooth enamel to lose its luster, as well. Fortunately, modern dental science has provided us with safe, potent teeth whitening methods that can erase years of built-up stains. For a consultation with Dr. David Ijams or Dr. Clarissa Turner to determine the optimal teeth whitening treatment for your smile, schedule an appointment at Cordova Dental today.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Gum contouring, also known as a gum lift, is a surgical cosmetic procedure for patients who are unhappy with the size and proportion of their gums. Your dentist can conservatively reshape your gums with a laser or a conventional scalpel to help your teeth appear more prominent and restore balance to your smile. Many patients choose gum contouring as part of their cosmetic dentistry treatment to achieve the most comprehensive results.
General Dentistry
Dr. David Ijams and Dr. Clarissa Turner are both honor graduates of the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry and devote time each year to maintain their accreditation with the Tennessee Dental Association, the American Dental Association and the Academy of General Dentistry. In addition, they have completed post doctoral studies in endondontics, cosmetic dentistry, periodontal laser treatment, dental implant placement,and orthodontics, including Invisalign. Our doctors are highly skilled in all areas of general and family dentistry and are able to provide their patients with many services here on site.
