Dental radiographs (x-rays) are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Dentists and dental hygienists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and complete an accurate treatment plan. Without x-rays, problem areas may go undetected.
X-rays
Series of X-rays including a Full Mouth Series which includes 18 x-rays that are used to evaluate cavities, gum infection, root infection and fractures. Panoramic x-rays show TMJ, sinus cavities, and mandible nerve. Checks for abnormalities such as cysts. Can also be used to evaluate orthodontic needs, impaction of wisdom teeth, and curvature of the root for extractions. For kids, Pano x-ray helps to monitor development of permanent teeth.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral Cancer Screening – a non invasive screening of oral cancer through out the mouth including checks, tongue, roof of mouth, and part of throat, using a special light with three different wave lengths that can penetrate as deep as the connective tissue of the tongue – checks for malignant lesions, cysts, abnormalities. Oral cancer is one of the top 2 aggressive cancers that effect all genders and age group of 18 and older ( unless otherwise recommended by the doctor.)
It is strongly recommended that a dentist or hygienist perform a dental cleaning every six months. This professional dental cleaning reinforces the home-care oral health regimen of brushing and flossing and gives the dentist an opportunity to locate areas in the mouth that may need special attention such as cavities or teeth positioning.
Fluoride Treatment
Although most people receive fluoride from food and water, sometimes it is not enough to help prevent decay. Your dentist or dental hygienist may recommend the use of home and/or professional fluoride treatments for the following reasons...
Dental Sealants
A sealant is a thin, plastic coating applied to the chewing surface of molars, premolars and any deep grooves (called pits and fissures) of teeth. More than 75% of dental decay begins in these deep grooves. Teeth with these conditions are hard to clean and are very susceptible to decay. A sealant protects the tooth by sealing deep grooves, creating a smooth, easy to clean surface.
You’re smile is the first thing people notice when meeting you. It can either work for you, or work against you. If you have issues with your smile such as: a chipped tooth, discoloration or stains, uneven spaces or anything else. Cosmetic dentistry may be an appropriate step for you to take. Here at Diamond Dental we offer porcelain crowns, porcelain veneers and teeth whitening to give you that picture perfect smile.
Crowns
A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Bridges
A bridge is a functional way to close the gap between one point and another. A dental bridge serves much the same purpose in your mouth: it literally “bridges” the gap created by one or more missing teeth.

The procedure starts by removing plaque through a deep-cleaning method called scaling and root planning. Medications may be used with treatment that includes scaling and root planning, but they cannot always take the place of surgery. Depending on how far the disease has progressed, we may still suggest surgical treatment.
A denture is a removable dental appliance replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They are made to closely resemble your natural teeth and may even enhance your smile.
A missing tooth, or missing teeth, is not just an aesthetic problem. The spaces left by missing teeth can lead to speech difficulties, shifting teeth, issues eating and discomfort. In order to alleviate these issues implants are used. We have single tooth and multiple tooth replacement capabilities to correct problem areas.
