Our Services

Dental Cleanings

Routine cleanings are essential for maintaining oral health by removing plaque and tartar buildup.

Dental Examinations

Regular exams allow dentists to assess oral health, detect any issues early, and create treatment plans as needed.

Fillings

Treatment for cavities involves removing decayed tooth material and filling the cavity with a suitable material such as amalgam, composite resin, or porcelain.

Root Canal Therapy

When a tooth is cracked or has a deep cavity, bacteria can enter the pulp tissue and germs can cause an infection inside the tooth. If left untreated, an abscess may form. If the infected tissue is not removed, pain and swelling can result. This can not only injure your jawbones, but it is also detrimental to your overall health. Root canal treatment involves one to three visits.

Extractions

Dentists may perform extractions to remove severely decayed, damaged, or impacted teeth that cannot be saved through other treatments.

Dental Crowns and Bridges

Crowns are used to restore the shape, size, and strength of damaged teeth, while bridges are used to replace missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth.

Dentures

Dentures are natural-looking replacement teeth that are removable. There are two types of dentures: full and partial. Full dentures are given to patients when all of the natural teeth have been removed. Partial dentures are attached to a metal or plastic frame that is connected to your natural teeth and are used to fill in where permanent teeth have been removed.

Dental Implants

Implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically implanted into the jawbone to support dental prosthetics such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Orthodontic Treatment

This includes braces, aligners (such as Invisalign), and other appliances used to straighten teeth and correct bite issues.

Nightguards

Also known as an occlusal guard, occlusal splint, or nocturnal bite plate, is a dental device typically made of plastic that is worn over the teeth during sleep. Its primary purpose is to protect the teeth and jaws from the effects of bruxism, which is the habit of grinding or clenching the teeth during sleep.

Mouthguards

Help protect your teeth and gums from injury. If you participate in any kind of full-contact sport, the American Dental Association recommends that you wear a mouthguard. Choosing the right mouthguard is essential.

Periodontal (Gum) Treatment

Periodontal services address gum disease and may include deep cleanings (scaling and root planing), periodontal surgery, and maintenance therapy.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Services like teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and contouring are offered to enhance the appearance of teeth and smiles.

Dental Sealants

A preventive measure to protect teeth from decay, especially in children, by sealing the grooves and crevices of the teeth.

Dental X-Rays

X-rays are used to diagnose dental problems such as cavities, infections, and impacted teeth that are not visible during a visual examination.

Oral Cancer Screening

Regular screenings are conducted to detect signs of oral cancer early for better treatment outcomes.

Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies can occur suddenly and often require prompt attention to alleviate pain, prevent further damage, and preserve oral health.
In any dental emergency, it’s essential to contact a dentist as soon as possible for guidance and treatment.
