Preventive Care

Dental Exams & Cleanings

Regular cleanings remove the plaque and hardened tartar that brushing and flossing at home can’t reach. Each visit pairs a professional cleaning with a dental exam, so problems like cavities and early gum disease are found while they’re still small and easier to treat.

When gum disease has already started, a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) cleans below the gumline to help the gums heal and reattach to the teeth.

What’s included
  • Professional cleaning and polishing
  • Dental exam and digital X-rays
  • Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) when needed
  • Gum disease screening and treatment

Tooth Replacement

Dental Implants

A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone that acts as a new tooth root. Once it bonds with the bone, it supports a natural-looking crown, bridge or denture. Implants are fixed in place, so they don’t slip, and they help preserve the jawbone where a tooth is missing.

Options range from replacing a single tooth to All-on-4, which secures a full arch of teeth on four implants.

Implant options
  • Single-tooth implants
  • Implant-supported bridges
  • Snap-on (implant-retained) dentures
  • All-on-4 full-arch implants

Save Your Tooth

Root Canal Treatment

When decay or a crack reaches the soft pulp inside a tooth, the pulp can become inflamed or infected. Root canal treatment removes the damaged pulp, cleans and seals the inside of the tooth, and lets you keep your natural tooth instead of having it pulled.

Most treated teeth are then protected with a crown to restore their strength.

Signs you may need a root canal
  • Persistent toothache
  • Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Darkening of a tooth
  • Swelling or tenderness in nearby gums

Restorative Care

Tooth-Colored Fillings

A filling repairs a tooth damaged by a cavity or a small chip. We remove the decayed part of the tooth and rebuild it with tooth-colored composite resin that’s shaded to blend in with the rest of your smile.

Treating a cavity early with a filling helps keep it from growing into a larger problem that needs a crown or root canal.

What’s included
  • Tooth-colored composite fillings
  • Repair of small chips and worn edges
  • Replacement of old silver (amalgam) fillings

You may need a filling if you notice

  • Sensitivity to sweets, hot or cold
  • A visible hole or dark spot on a tooth
  • Food getting stuck in the same place
  • A rough or chipped edge on a tooth
Restorative Care

Crowns & Bridges

A crown is a custom-made cap that covers a tooth that’s cracked, badly worn, heavily filled or treated with a root canal, restoring its shape and strength.

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring replacement teeth to crowns on the neighboring teeth or on dental implants.

What’s included
  • Crowns for cracked, broken or weak teeth
  • Crowns after root canal treatment
  • Bridges to replace one or more missing teeth
  • Crowns and bridges supported by implants
Learn more:

A crown or bridge may help if you have

  • A cracked or broken tooth
  • A large old filling that’s breaking down
  • A tooth treated with a root canal
  • A gap from one or more missing teeth
Tooth Replacement

Dentures

Dentures are removable replacement teeth for patients missing several or all of their teeth. Partial dentures fill the gaps between your remaining natural teeth, while full dentures replace an entire arch.

For more stability, snap-on (implant-retained) dentures clip onto dental implants so they stay secure while you eat and speak.

Denture options
  • Partial dentures
  • Full dentures
  • Snap-on (implant-retained) dentures
  • All-on-4 as a fixed, non-removable alternative
Learn more:

Dentures may be right for you if

  • You’re missing several or all teeth in an arch
  • Your current denture feels loose or uncomfortable
  • You want to compare removable and fixed options
Protective Care

Oral Appliances & Night Guards

Oral appliances are custom-fitted devices worn over the teeth. The most common is a night guard, which cushions the teeth against grinding and clenching during sleep, helping protect them — along with any crowns or veneers — from wear and cracks.

Because each appliance is made from impressions of your own teeth, it fits more securely than a store-bought guard.

What’s included
  • Custom night guards for grinding and clenching
  • Sports mouthguards for contact sports
  • Protection for crowns, veneers and implants
Learn more:

An oral appliance may help if you notice

  • A sore jaw when you wake up
  • Worn, flattened or chipped teeth
  • Someone hears you grinding at night
  • Increased tooth sensitivity
