- Fluoride TreatmentFluoride is used to remineralize the tooth and make it more resistant to the acid and bacteria in the mouth. It is recommended for those susceptible to cavities, that have receding gums, and helps with general sensitivity as well. Fluoride varnish utilizes a natural tree resin base that facilitates adherence of the varnish to the teeth and prolongs the contact time between fluoride and the tooth surfaces.
- Dental SealantsPreventative care is a critical part of supporting overall oral health. We assess the overall health of your teeth and gums and look for telltale signs of other problems such as oral cancer. The sooner an oral health problem is found, the easier and less painful it is to treat. It is recommended that patients have exams every 6 months and cleanings every 3-6 months, depending on the status of your oral health in the moment. We also offer dental sealants and fluoride treatment.

- CrownsA dental implant is a replacement for the root of a tooth. They are titanium screws that are placed into the jawbone and secured, just like the root of a healthy tooth. The bone then grafts around the implant to create a secure, life-long bond. Once that graft is ready a crown is secured onto the implant and carefully crafted to look just like your surrounding natural teeth.

- Deep CleaningOnce diagnosed that you have periodontal disease, it is recommended to start treatment with “Scaling and Root Planning”, or also know as a deep cleaning. The hygienist will numb the area so that a thorough cleaning can be preformed by removing the tartar and bacterial buildup underneath the gums. After the deep cleaning, it is recommended to come back every 3 months for a periodontal maintenance cleaning. This type of cleaning is preformed to control the periodontal condition, by maintaining and stopping its progression.
- DenturesIf you prefer to not have dental implants or bridges to replace missing teeth, dentures are another option to consider. Dentures are removable and may take time to get accustom to because they never feel the same as natural teeth.
- Dental ImplantsFor those who grind their teeth, have implant restorations, have teeth with indentations at the gum line and are diagnosed with periodontal disease, a night guard should be worn as a preventive measure. Not only can this save your natural teeth from wear and fracture, but it will also protect restorations already in your mouth.
