Teeth cleaning is part of oral hygiene and involves the removal of dental plaque from teeth to help prevent cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease.
Scaling and Root Planing is a deep cleaning below the gumline used to treat periodontal disease.
Fluoride is a natural mineral that builds strong teeth and prevents cavities. It’s been an essential oral health treatment for decades. Fluoride supports healthy tooth enamel and fights the bacteria that harm teeth and gums.
Dental sealant is a thin, plastic coating painted on the chewing surfaces of teeth — usually the back teeth (the premolars and molars) — to prevent tooth decay.
A composite filling is a tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture used to restore decayed teeth. Composites are also used for cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the color of the teeth or reshaping disfigured teeth.
Crowns and bridges are prosthetic restorations that are designed to cover a tooth or teeth when they are too broken down or decayed to be restored with a filling.
Implant supported crowns and bridges are the finishing touches after dental implants have been installed. These restorations are screw-retained or cemented on top of the dental implants to replace missing teeth.
Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth.
Extractions are performed most commonly to remove teeth which have become unrestorable through tooth decay, periodontal disease, or dental trauma, especially when they are associated with toothache.
If you have missing teeth, removable Dentures or Partial Denture is one way to replace them.
Dental night guards are often the treatment of choice for patients who have a history of grinding their teeth while they sleep.
Teeth whitening is a fast, easy way to brighten teeth while enhancing your smile.
