When your dentist deep cleans your teeth, they will go below your gum line to address plaque buildup, bacteria, tartar, and other debris. If any early signs of periodontal disease are visible, a deep clean is necessary to allow your gums to heal. This will also aid to have better breath and avoid bleeding gums.

Popular with people who have chips or cracks in their teeth, dental bonding allows you to have tooth gaps filled, teeth reshaped, and all manner of repairs done to your teeth. Dental bonding allows you to have whiter teeth, repairs decay and gives you a healthier smile. Dental bonding is a long-lasting, all-encompassing treatment.

Dental bridges are a way to replace a lost or damaged tooth. An existing but broken tooth can be removed, or an existing gap of up to several teeth can be filled, by introducing a dental bridge that restores a healthy smile and bite. A dental bridge completes your smile in the best possible way.

Dental crowns allow a misshapen or damaged tooth to look great again. By permanently affixing a dental crown to your tooth, your bite will function better, and your smile can look its best. Dental crowns also help to prevent sustaining any future damage to your tooth by adding strength to it.

Using dental sealants, your teeth can be made stronger immediately. A dental sealant is a coating that can be placed on your teeth, in particular, your back teeth such as premolars and molars, to make them more durable against bacteria and acids. This is a professional way to take great care of your teeth proactively.

Your tooth's pulp is where the nerves of your teeth are held. It is situated inside each tooth and is usually protected by your dentin and enamel. When something gets past this protection, and your tooth's pulp becomes infected, you need root canal therapy, also known as just a root canal. This can save a tooth from needing to be extracted, so the outside of your natural tooth can be saved.

When a tooth is in very bad condition, and there is no treatment to save it, having your tooth extracted can keep the remainder of your mouth from further complications. Tooth extraction may sound scary but could potentially protect your mouth from the spread of bacteria or complicating other natural teeth.

Teeth get damaged over time, and sometimes an individual event can damage them. Cosmetic dentistry is a multi-faceted set of procedures that will restore your teeth to a more aesthetically pleasing shape and color. Cosmetic dentistry preserves your gums, bones and other teeth while giving you back your most attractive smile.

Dental implants have come a long way since their “false teeth” past. Using a titanium post that is placed surgically, these tooth posts are made of titanium and custom designed to fit your mouth while restoring your smile correctly.

The loss of teeth can happen for a variety of reasons, and dentures are a great way to get back your smile while keeping flexibility. Your set of dentures will protect your gums, allow you to chew properly, and smile with confidence. Dentures are customized and can be repaired or replaced cost-effectively if needed.

Dental inlays are ceramic, gold or porcelain prosthetics that are put into your tooth's indentations or grooves along your biting areas. Dental onlays are a more significant material replacement and can go all the way to the edge of the tooth. Both of these types of prosthetics add strength and beauty to your teeth.

Invisalign is a custom-made dental-grade plastic that is crafted to straighten your teeth. If you have issues with committing to sometimes painful and unattractive braces, Invisalign is the best option for you.

Porcelain veneers are a unique high-grade ceramic that can enhance the appearance of your teeth for many years in a short time.

As time goes on, staining of the teeth is a natural effect of lifestyle habits, medications or simply aging. Fortunately, teeth's original coloring can be restored through teeth whitening. Teeth that are yellow or an off-white can be significantly whitened through this relatively simple procedure. This can improve your confidence and let you love your smile again.

CEREC is a way to restore your teeth by creating custom ceramic prosthetics to replace them. By scanning a damaged tooth or group of teeth, a substantial portion of the crown can be replaced with a specially made ceramic piece that can be permanently fitted on. So long as the damage has only happened over the gum line, CEREC can often restore a tooth's strength and appearance.

Dental bone grafting can help a weakened jaw to become strong enough for normal chewing again. If there have been missing teeth for a long time, the jawbone can begin to deteriorate. This often leads to bone loss, which a bone graft can prevent. Bone grafting can even be done during a tooth extraction.

Night guards are a great way to prevent damage to your teeth from bruxism or TMJ. Bruxism is when a person grinds their teeth at night, and TMJ is when the bones of the jaw no longer line up properly for a good bite. In either of these cases, the teeth themselves can easily get damaged.

Oral surgery is a large and all-encompassing term that simply means opening tissue in order to fix a problem within your mouth or jaw. Oral surgery can be a small procedure or a large one. In many cases, oral surgery can be made comfortable and will correct a wide variety of problems.

If you tend to get nervous or afraid of having dental work done, a mild general sedative can let you rest while the dentist does their work. There are many kinds of sedation dentistry, and all have proven safe and effective for most patients.
