Preventative

Exam

It is very important part of your visit. During exam doctor can detect decay, cysts, tumors and bone loss. The new technology allows us to take low-radiation x-rays which help determine your tooth, root and bone positions.

Oral Cancer Screening

This procedure looks for any signs of oral cancer or conditions which may lead to oral cancer. This is a thorough exam of the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums.

Dental cleaning

The most important step to a beautiful smile is good oral hygiene. This is why doctors strongly recommend routine dental cleanings and checkups, usually every six months. This can prevent common dental problems like decay or root canal therapy.

Sealants

Resin composite material are used to protect the chewing surface of back teeth from cavities.

Fluoride

Fluoride can be either a foam or varnish applied on patients teeth after a dental cleaning. Fluoride makes teeth less susceptible to acid erosion, as well as strengthens and reduces sensitivity.

Preventative Resin Restoration

This procedure is to prevent progression of decay, without drilling. Great for kids and patients who are afraid of shots and drilling. For more info please visit ICON DRILLING NO THANKS! web site.

Restorative

Fillings

Bonding

Crowns

Inlays and onlays

Restorations-porcelain or composite used to repair teeth that have moderate amount of decay. They can also be used to restore cracked teeth, if the damage is not severe enough to require a dental crown.

Bridges

Dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth, mostly made of porcelain. Usually, consists of two or more crowns with a false tooth “bridged” between. The dentist places the crowns on the teeth adjacent to the gap for strength and stability. Other options for replacing missing teeth are partial dentures and dental implants.
