Dr. Lucinda K Bunting, DMD

X-rays
Dental X-rays are an important tool in dentistry; aiding in diagnosing decay, abscesses, infection, or pathology and in determining the condition of existing fillings, crowns and root canals. X-rays also help dentists assess bone levels and detect periodontal disease. Digital X-rays provide an 80% reduction in radiation, the images are high quality and can be viewed in a matter of seconds, and there are no harmful chemicals involved as in the processing of film.

Teeth Cleaning
Fluoride Treatment
Each 6 month visit includes a prophy, a fluoride treatment and an exam. Two (2) or four (4) digital images are taken on the first visit and then yearly thereafter. Minor children will not be treated without a parent or legal guardian physically present.
Space Maintainers
Some children may require a space maintainer if a baby tooth is extracted early due to dental decay. Teeth can shift after an extraction and not leave enough room for the permanent tooth underneath to erupt. A space maintainer is placed to keep the space open and may lessen the chance of needing full braces in the future.

Fillings
Veneers
Veneers: Veneers are an excellent way to fill gaps, change the shape, alignment, and color of the front teeth. They require a small amount of enamel to be removed from the front surface of the tooth and then a thin porcelain shell is custom made and bonded to the tooth. They can achieve outstanding improvements in one's smile, and if taken care of properly, can last many years.
Crowns
Bridge: A bridge, sometimes called a Fixed Partial Denture, is one option sometimes available to patients who are missing one or more teeth. Unlike a Removable Partial Denture, a bridge is cemented and can only be removed by a dentist. Bridges are an excellent way to replace missing teeth and alleviate stress caused by tooth loss. They can be made from several different materials, including gold, alloys, and porcelain. A bridge usually consists of two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutments) that are attached to artificial teeth (pontics) in between to fill the missing space created by tooth loss.
Bridges

Root Canal Treatment
Extractions: Sometimes a tooth is extremely damaged or broken and cannot be saved, thus requiring removal. Most simple extractions can be done here at this office using local anesthesia. If a tooth is severely compromised, impacted, or has had a root canal, however, your dentist may choose to refer you to one of our local Oral Surgeons.

Dentures
Dentures/Removable Partial Dentures: These appliances are made for people who have either lost all or some of their teeth due to periodontal disease, tooth decay, or trauma. When a person is missing multiple teeth, support of the facial muscles is lost, and can make a person appear much older than what they really are. Dentures and partials can be made to closely resemble natural teeth and can benefit both your appearance and your health. Your dentist will make models and take measurements of your mouth, and through a series of appointments, make an appliance that is custom fit just for you.
Overdentures
A hybrid is a special type of implant supported denture that allows those who have lost their teeth and bone to function like people with a natural dentition. This type of restoration requires multiple implants to be placed in the jawbone. A custom made hybrid denture will then attach to the implants. Your dentist will remove them once a year for cleaning and maintenance, but it is not removed daily like a traditional denture or locator overdenture. Since hybrids are “fixed” and much less bulky, they feel very natural. Eating is a much more enjoyable experience as the limitations experienced with dentures aren’t there. This allows patients to regain their confidence because they don’t have to worry about their dentures slipping, getting sore spots, or using anymore adhesive.

He and his family currently reside in Magnolia and they enjoy time on the beach, boating and fishing, and entertaining friends.

Oral Surgery
Tooth Extractions
Sometimes a tooth is extremely damaged or broken and cannot be saved, thus requiring removal. Most simple extractions can be done here at this office using local anesthesia. If a tooth is severely compromised, impacted, or has had a root canal, however, your dentist may choose to refer you to one of our local Oral Surgeons.

Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made aligners that are changed approximately every two weeks to gently and gradually reposition your teeth. The aligners are comfortable and can be removed so you can eat and brush your teeth as normal. Since the aligners are made from a transparent plastic material, they’re hardly noticeable. You can achieve the smile of your dreams without anyone even knowing that you’re wearing braces!
Braces
Clear Braces: For those whose lifestyles preclude wearing traditional brackets and braces, clear braces can be ideal. Clear braces are able to make minor tooth movements and work especially well for those who have had braces before but have noticed shifting in the front teeth.

Teeth Whitening
We are proud to offer the #1 patient requested professional whitening system here in our office. ZOOM! is a safe and effective way to whiten your teeth up to 8 shades in just one 45 minute visit! Unlike over the counter whitening products, ZOOM! whitening system is tailored to individual patient's needs by customizing the light intensity and duration of treatment. When the whitening process is over, a special ACP relief gel will be applied to your teeth to minimize any sensitivity that can accompany tooth whitening. During your appointment you will also be fitted for custom trays so that touch-ups are easy and convienient at home. Schedule today to get the healthy whiter smile you've always wanted!
