Dental Examination
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause structural damage to the jaw and other teeth. They can also provide a place for bacteria to gather since they are hard to reach and clean. These potential problems make it necessary to remove impacted wisdom teeth so that more significant problems do not arise. Routine x-rays during a dental exam can reveal if you will need to have your wisdom teeth removed.

Teeth Cleaning
Your teeth are not the only important part of your mouth. Your gums are essential to oral hygiene as well. We can provide periodontal cleanings and treatment, or refer you to one of our recommended dental hygienist. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are a great way to protect against tooth decay and cavities on your back teeth (molars). These are the teeth that are most vulnerable to cavities and decay because they are used in the chewing process, and are the most difficult to reach and clean. Molars first come in at around 5-7 years of age, with a second set coming in between the ages of 11-14. It is best to have a sealant placed when the molars first come in to ensure they are protected early.

Fillings
Bonding is a noticeable improvement over unsightly silver amalgam fillings. With the advancements in dental technology, bonding usually lasts for over ten years. It is a safe, affordable, and attractive solution for many dental problems.
Resin Composite
Molding and sculpting composite resin on the affected tooth or teeth then placed over an adhesive gel on the tooth. After applying the resin, ultraviolet light is used to harden the resin, which is then polished to give you a fresh, new smile.
Veneers
Veneers are an excellent way to redesign and reshape your entire mouth. Veneers are a very thin ceramic shell that covers your existing tooth structure. In placing these new veneers on your teeth, you can fix the look of issues such as staining, cracked teeth, spaces, misaligned teeth, chipped teeth, and many other problems.
Crowns
Cavities can decay to tooth to the point where restoration is virtually impossible without a procedure called crown lengthening. Crown lengthening is a routine surgical procedure, which remodels the contour of the gum line. The procedure does not lengthen the crown but instead lowers the gum line. When there is not enough tooth structure to affix a crown, this is the only option. Sometimes a tooth has been broken below the gum line. In this instance, crown lengthening is very successful in exposing more of the tooth, so that the dentist has something to work with.
Bridges
Dental bridges are a great way to replace missing teeth. Your existing teeth are used to create a bridge to cross the area where your tooth is missing. Bridges are made from gold, metal, alloys, or porcelain to ensure that they are strong and durable.
Dental Bonding

Root Canal Treatment
Endodontics is the dental specialty that deals with the nerves of the teeth. Root canals are probably the most notorious procedure in dentistry and the most common procedure relating to endodontics. When a tooth becomes infected, it is usually associated with the nerves in the root of the tooth. The infected nerves need removal. If left untreated, an infection can turn into an abscess, which is a much more serious problem that includes bone loss in the jaw.
Apicoectomy
Performing apicoectomy is required only after an unsuccessful root canal. When an infection does not go away or returns after a root canal, this procedure is usually necessary. Many nerves may contain the infected tissue, so it is essential to remove all of the infection during a root canal. During an apicoectomy, the tip of the root of the tooth is removed and replaced with a filling.

Periodontal Surgery
Periodontal surgery’s goal is to gain access to the root of the tooth and to clean the damaged areas. Once the dentist can visually see the damage, they can remove it. Removing the plaque and decayed gum tissue leaves a pocket between the gum and the tooth. Sometimes the gum returns to its original position, but still, the pocket is present. The pocket requires more frequent cleanings as the patient is unable to get to the pockets with regular brushing and flossing. Once the swelling from the periodontal treatment has subsided, the dentist may need to suture the gum to where the bone has resorbed. The goal is to create a space large enough so it can be reached through daily oral hygiene, but small enough that it is not a breeding ground for plaque and bacteria.
Deep Cleaning
ARESTIN® (minocycline hydrochloride) Microspheres, 1 mg is an effective antibiotic treatment that comes in powder form. This powder is placed inside infected periodontal pockets just after the dental professional finishes the scaling and root planning (SRP) procedure.

Dentures
Dentures are a replacement for missing teeth that can be removed and put back into your mouth as you please. Depending on each patient case, they may receive full or partial dentures. Full dentures are used when all-natural teeth are removed from the mouth and replaced with a complete set of dentures. There are two types of full dentures.

Dental Implants
A dental implant is a “man-made” replacement for a missing tooth or tooth root. Made from titanium, this screw-like object is inserted under the gum and directly into the upper or lower jaw bone. There is usually minimal discomfort involved with this procedure. After a period of a few months, the dental implant and the bone fuse together. This creates an anchor for the new tooth to be placed onto the dental implant.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Medical research has demonstrated that using our own blood cells, accelerates healing and tissue regeneration in all forms of surgery. Specifically, platelets, plasma, and white blood cells are used for this procedure. The protein that is carried by the platelets is the magic ingredient that is being used in numerous private office settings for wound healing and various surgical procedures, including oral surgery.
Jaw Surgery
Orthognathic surgery is typically performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeon or a craniofacial surgeon, with an orthodontist assisting. The purpose of Orthognathic surgery is to ensure that the necessary structure exists in the mouth so that the orthodontic treatment will be successful. Orthognathic surgery usually involves the jaw bones, where modifications are done by cutting the bones of the mandible or maxilla and putting them back together properly aligned. The surgery is performed under general anesthetic and the teeth are wired together after surgery so the jaw can heal correctly. Usually, the incisions are made inside the mouth and not in the skin.
Maxillofacial Surgery
Oral surgery and maxillofacial surgery corrects diseases, injuries, and defects in the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region.
Osseous Surgery
Osseous surgery is a procedure that reshapes the bone which holds your teeth in place. Osseous surgery commonly treats periodontitis. Patients with periodontitis experience defects in the bone around their teeth. Osseous surgery removes those defects. Before the surgery, the patient undergoes a periodontal treatment that consists or scaling and root planing. A local anesthetic is administered to minimize the pain. Once the roots clean, the dentist uses a drill and sharp dental tool to reshape the bone surrounding the teeth. Depending on the extent of the defects, the deformed bone is removed, and the rest is shaped. Bone grafting material is used where the defects are too large to be treated with only reshaping. Once the bones are back to their original state, the gums are stitched back into place. Osseous Grafting is a routine procedure, with a high success rate.
Tooth Extractions
Wisdom teeth extractions are a fairly standard procedure. Wisdom teeth often cause problems as they are trying to protrude through the gums. When a wisdom tooth is impacted, it means the tooth is coming in at an angle and not straight through the gum line. This can causes pain, the tooth can come in unevenly, or the tooth may only emerge partially.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is where the jawbone is built up to accommodate a dental implant or other restorative devices. Bone grafting is a standard procedure that is used frequently for dental implants and other periodontal procedures. The bone used to graft is taken from a sample from the patient. Many times, the bone is taken from another area of the mouth when drilling takes place. The bone fragments are suctioned from the mouth and used for the graft. Cadaver bone fragments are also used, and are harvested by bone banks and are a very safe source for bone donation.

Orthodontics
Canine exposure has nothing to do with leaving your dog outside, exposed to the elements. It is a procedure to expose impacted teeth. What is an impacted tooth, you ask? It is a tooth that has not erupted in the mouth but instead becomes stuck in the surrounding bone or tissue. Any tooth may become impacted, but generally, the wisdom teeth and canine teeth are the most likely candidates. The Canine teeth are critical for function, and the mouth will also appear aesthetically odd without the canines. The procedure is quite simple. It involves the dentist cutting a small hole in the gum, which allows the tooth to erupt. The dentist also uses a dental brace to guide the tooth into its correct position.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign is an Orthodontic treatment of straightening teeth without the use of conventional braces. A series of clear plastic aligners are utilized to create tooth movement. Moving teeth with removable aligners are not new. However, the computer program, which can generate a series of aligners with small changes, is the new part. Invisalign is a recommendation for orthodontic treatment with mild to moderate spacing or crowding. They are virtually undetectable, easy to use, and comfortable to wear.
Braces
Whether you’re an adult or a teen, we all want to look our best at all times. Changing the way your teeth are structured takes time, and there are now ways to keep you looking your best during this period. Clear braces or ceramic braces are translucent. This new technology is available in most cases. The great benefit of these braces is that you won’t have to have that metallic look. Also, the design of clear braces prevents staining and wear over time.

Teeth Whitening
Keeping our teeth, their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds. With coffee, wine, smoking, and other foods that stain our teeth daily, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Teeth whitening is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or also make them whiter than your natural color if you would like.
