- Dental Examination
- X-raysThe Canary Dental Caries Detection System has been proven superior to the standard diagnostic tests for tooth decay. Our research has shown that the Canary System offers greater sensitivity and specificity than dental x-rays in detecting early areas of tooth decay.
- Oral Cancer ScreeningOral cancer is just as deadly as other forms of cancer, but if discovered early enough, nearly 90% of all cases are curable. That is why at every dental visit we will exam your mouth for signs of cancer.
- Teeth CleaningEach person has individual needs or concerns. Your dental cleanings are also an opportunity for you to discuss these with Dr. Harr.
- Fluoride Treatment
- Dental Sealants
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeBonding of composite resins is ideal for small corrections, in which most of the tooth is healthy and stable. It can be used to correct a wide variety of problems, including minor decay, chips, cracks, gaps between teeth, discoloration and crooked teeth.
- VeneersA dental emergency is a tooth-related problem that warrants fast treatment. This could be an injury with bleeding, a knocked-out tooth, or severe and unrelenting pain. Most cases, like chipped veneers, lost fillings, or broken dental appliances, while very inconvenient, do not constitute an emergency.
- CrownsIf the bite feels “high†on the crown after the anesthetic wears off, please call us to adjust the crown-this will prevent future tooth discomfort.
- BridgesIf you have missing teeth or fixed bridge work that you're unhappy with, you may be a candidate for Dental Implants in Fargo ND. Dental Implants are the most natural replacement for missing teeth and help to prevent face disfiguring bone loss.
- Dental BondingDuring the tooth bonding procedure, a mild etching solution is first applied to the area of natural tooth enamel to receive the restoration. This solution roughens the surface which allows for a stronger bond between the tooth and resin.
- Restorative DentistryWhen a tooth's structure has been compromised by decay, a crack in the enamel, or a chip, a filling is required to prevent further damage. Often, these areas have gone undetected by the patient until the dentist finds them in a routine check up.
- Root Canal TreatmentA “root canal,” or pulpectomy, is a treatment for infections in the soft inner tissue of a tooth. Root canal infections can spread into the outer areas of the tooth, causing discoloration. If left untreated, they will affect the health of the jaw and other tissues surrounding the tooth.
- DenturesWhile nothing can perfectly replace your natural teeth, new advancements in denture technology have made dentures more comfortable and stable than ever before.
- Dental ImplantsWhen damage to the tooth extends to the foundation (root) of the tooth, a bridge or dental implant may be a better solution. Dr. Harr will discuss your options for restorations with you after an initial examination.
- Oral Surgery
- Tooth Extractions
- Bone GraftingMore commonly, the crown is fitted several months after implant placement, allowing the implant time to fuse with the jawbone. In cases involving bone grafting, the graft must first heal for several months before the implant can be installed. Then the implant must integrate into the bone for several months before the crown can be adhered to the implant.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsInvisalign has many benefits, the greatest being that they are nearly invisible. They are also removable so you can brush, floss, and eat as usual.
- BracesInvisalign is a technology developed by Align. These "braces" consist of a series of clear plastic trays, or aligners, that are computer designed and fabricated for you. These aligners are clear and removable and adjust your teeth on a stage-by-stage basis, about two weeks per aligner.
- Teeth WhiteningMost often, stains get deep below the outermost layer of the tooth. At-Home NiteWhite treatments Is the best option to remove the deeply rooted stains and restore your teeth to their natural white color. Over-the-counter products, such as whitening toothpastes, remove only surface stains.
