- Fluoride Treatment
- Dental Sealants
- FillingsTooth colored fillings are a great way to restore a new cavity or replace an old mercury amalgam filling. White fillings are composite resin that bond to your teeth and restore the tooth to its natural appearance and function.
- Resin Composite
- VeneersDental veneers are very thin porcelain facings that can change the shape, color, shade and alignment of your smile. If you are striving to enhance your smile, porcelain veneers are a great way to achieve this.
- CrownsJaw pain can be painful and debilitating. Temporal Mandibular Dysfunction (TMD) can be very complex and originate from multiple sources like grinding and clenching your teeth, malocclusion, poorly fitting crowns or dental fillings, stress, trauma or habits like nail biting and gum chewing. Dr. Paape can offer many treatment options that include TMJ splints, occlusal adjustment and/or a physical therapy referral.

- Restorative Dentistry
- Root Canal TreatmentIf you are experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity; discomfort when chewing or drinking something cold; facial swelling; or general dental discomfort, you may have an infection in one or more of your teeth. After an accurate diagnosis from Dr. Paape, we may be able to alleviate your symptoms and save your existing tooth with a root canal. A root canal procedure cleans the nerve, blood vessels and connective tissues in the root canal and allows the tooth to be restored for long-term function.
- DenturesIf you have lost multiple teeth and want an economical way to replace your smile, a removable prosthetic may be the answer for you. Dr. Paape enjoys making dentures and will fabricate your denture with precision as well as help you get used to it after fabrication.
- Dental ImplantsIf you have lost or are missing teeth due to an injury, dental decay or periodontal disease, dental implants are a great way to replace your missing tooth and restore function and aesthetics. Dental implants have many benefits that include restoring a natural appearance, preserving the surrounding bone and soft tissues and fulfilling the function of a natural tooth.
- Oral SurgerySometimes a tooth is not able to be saved and needs to be extracted. Dr. Paape performs a range of oral surgery, from simple single-tooth extractions to complicated wisdom teeth extractions. After the tooth is removed, we can start talking about how to best replace your missing tooth with a dental bridge, implant or denture.
