General Dentistry

1. Dental cleaning is a vital part of your general dental care. Our dentist and hygienist perform a comprehensive examination to catch early stages of oral health issues, preventing them from escalating into more serious conditions like gum disease or tooth loss.
2. The examination starts with a review of your medical history, including information about past dental treatments, allergies, and current medications. To detect decay or other hidden problems, we may take full-mouth, panoramic X-rays and an Itero scan for a 3D view of your teeth.
3. An oral cancer screening is included in our dental exam, during which our dentist examines the mouth and neck for any unusual lumps or bumps. We then carefully check the gums using a probe to measure the spaces between the teeth and gums, looking for any indications of gum disease. Finally, we visually inspect the teeth to detect any signs of decay, damage, or other issues.
4. By strongly emphasizing the preventive nature of dental exams and encouraging our patients to stay vigilant about their oral health, we empower them to avoid complex dental problems. This approach ensures they can maintain healthy, beautiful smiles for years to come, taking control of their oral health journey.

Root Canal Therapy at The Dentist: Relieving Pain and Saving Your Tooth

When the pulp of a tooth is infected from severe decay or injury, a root canal procedure may be necessary. While many associate root canals with discomfort, they are often the best alternative to tooth extraction and can effectively relieve pain.

Our Gentle Approach to Root Canal Procedures

At The Dentist, we emphasize gentle dentistry to ensure every visit is as comfortable as possible. Our skilled dentists will thoroughly assess the tooth to determine the cause of the issue, which might stem from cavities, a cracked tooth, or root damage affecting the nerve. If the nerve is compromised, a root canal may be required.

Steps in the Root Canal Process

The effectiveness and extent of a root canal depend on the severity of the tooth’s damage. During the procedure:

1. Examination: The affected area is carefully assessed.
2. Removal: Damaged or dead pulp is removed.
3. Sealing: The cleaned area is sealed to prevent further problems.

After completing the root canal treatment, a crown is often recommended to protect the tooth from future breakage or damage.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride treatments are designed to enhance tooth strength and protection. This process involves applying fluoride, a mineral naturally found in the environment, directly onto the teeth. The benefits of fluoride treatments include preventing tooth decay, addressing early signs of decay, protecting teeth during orthodontic procedures, and reducing tooth sensitivity.

Dental Night guards
Dental night guards are custom-made mouth guards worn while sleeping which protects the teeth and jaw when grinding or clenching. Made from durable plastic materials, these nightguards are tailored to fit each patient’s unique dental structure. By using a nightguard, you can shield your teeth from damage and alleviate discomfort related to jaw-joint issues and headaches caused by bruxism.
