Oral Cancer Screening
An oral cancer screening is an easy way for dental professionals to determine whether or not a patient may be at risk for oral cancer. This screening can be done in the office during your regular dental checkup. A visual screening can be done with no technology or instrument and can be part of routine evaluation.
Even if you brush and floss your teeth regularly, you still need a dental cleaning. The hygienist will use a scaler to remove the build-up of plaque and tar between your teeth and around the gum line. Next, the hygienist will polish the teeth and floss. Depending on if you floss regularly, your gums might be a little tender after the cleaning. The tenderness will not last long and it will not interfere with eating or talking.
Tooth bonding is a very inexpensive cosmetic dental service that can fix a fractured, chipped, odd shaped or discolored tooth and improves your smile. Sometimes the bonding material can even be used as a more attractive alternative to amalgam fillings. At New Image Dentistry, we have used tooth bonding to fill in a gap that is too large between two teeth and make teeth look longer.
Resin Composite
Bonding is when a composite resin, colored to match your existing tooth, is attached to your tooth. The dentist applies the resin to your tooth, molds it and smooths it onto the tooth. A special light is used to harden the resin (or bond it) to your tooth. Finally, the dentist trims, shapes and polishes it to blend in with the rest of the tooth.
Veneers
There are numerous reasons dentists from New Image Dentistry would recommend porcelain veneers to improve the look of your teeth.
Crowns
Once cleaned and shaped, the tooth canal is filled with a filling material (either temporary or permanent) to seal the tooth and keep bacteria from re-entering. Your dentist may use a permanent filling or a crown to restore your tooth. The choice of restoration will depend on the strength of the part of the tooth that is left. A back tooth will likely need a crown because chewing puts a great deal of force on back teeth. If there is not enough of the tooth left, posts may be used to help support the crown.
Bridges
Crowns and Bridges are considered the most common and highly effective solutions for improving imperfections such as a damaged or a missing tooth. The results allow you to chew food easier and help balance your bite while reducing the ability of your existing teeth to shift and catch food in between them.
Dental Bonding
Tooth bonding is usually recommended for small cosmetic modifications and is often used to fix problems on the front teeth. To learn if tooth bonding is the right approach to fix your dental problem, a dentist will be happy to meet with you to discuss this procedure.

If you’re starting to experience pain at the base of your tooth, your dentist may tell you that a root canal treatment is necessary. Root canals are a common alternative to treating a damaged or diseased tooth. The treatment relieves dental pain and alleviates inflammation and infection at the root of your tooth.
No. This is a deep cleaning that involves two different techniques. First is scaling, which removes all the plaque and tar above and below the gum line. After that, root planning is done, which smooths out your teeth roots. This helps the gums reattach to the teeth. Sometimes patients need more than one visit for their periodontal disease treatment.
If you are considering getting dentures, know that you are not alone. A study in The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, says that the number of adults in the United States needing dentures will be 37.9 million in 2020. That’s an increase from 33.6 million in 1991.

We pride ourselves in being best-in-class in five specific categories of dentistry: general, cosmetic, restorative, emergency dentistry, and oral surgery.
Tooth Extractions
The dentist will need to know about a wide range of conditions — hypertension, adrenal disease, damaged heart valves, diabetes, etc.—because many types of health conditions need to be stable before you have a tooth extracted. Depending on your medical condition, your primary care physician or specialist might need to give you clearance for the tooth extraction. Sometimes, antibiotics are prescribed to prevent complications. Remember to bring a list of your prescribed medications, plus over-the-counter drugs, vitamins and supplements to your appointment.

Braces
The dentist will explain your specific reason, but often a tooth will need to be extracted if a wisdom tooth is impacted, a tooth has too much decay to be repaired, you’re experiencing pain in your jaw or perhaps the tooth must be removed because you’re getting braces.
Yes, studies have shown that teeth whitening does not harm the tooth enamel. The American Dental Association recommends discussing with your dentist which bleaching product would be best for you. One advantage of having your teeth whitened by a dentist is that a dentist makes sure your gums are protected while the bleaching agent is used.
