Routine Dental Check Ups

Regular dental check-ups are crucial for preserving the well-being and functionality of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. These routine appointments involve screening for common dental issues such as cavities and gum disease, evaluating the necessity for filling repairs or replacements, and addressing various dental concerns. Moreover, dental professionals can assess habits like teeth grinding that may affect your oral health.

By scheduling regular dental appointments every six months, practitioners can detect and address any dental issues early, preventing them from becoming painful, difficult, and expensive to treat in the future.

Digital X rays

Dentists utilize X-rays to gain insight beneath the surface of teeth and gums, enabling them to identify dental conditions that might escape detection through visual examination alone. This imaging technique is crucial for uncovering dental diseases that may not be apparent to the naked eye during a standard visual inspection.

Digital radiography represents a significant breakthrough in dentistry, offering substantial advancements. These systems diminish patient radiation exposure by nearly 80% when contrasted with traditional film-based counterparts. Unlike film, digital x-ray images can be optimized to aid in achieving precise diagnostic results.

  • Scale and Clean

    A professional dental cleaning, commonly referred to as a scale and clean, aims to eliminate plaque and tartar that cannot be effectively removed through regular daily brushing. This procedure is essential for preventing tooth decay and gum disease.

  • Restorations

    Dental restorations, or tooth fillings, are employed to restore the integrity of natural tooth structure that has been fractured, broken, or affected by tooth decay. These fillings serve to repair the tooth, restoring its appearance and functionality to an optimal state.

  • Fissure Sealants

    A fissure sealant is a thin layer of dental filling material that is placed over the grooves of the teeth. It is applied to prevent food and bacteria from sticking in the grooves, thus decreasing the risk of tooth decay.

Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Wisdom teeth, also referred to as third molars, are the final set of permanent teeth that emerge in the mouth. Typically appearing between the ages of 17 and 25, not everyone develops wisdom teeth. While some individuals experience the normal eruption of wisdom teeth without issues, others may have impacted wisdom teeth —teeth that lack adequate space to emerge properly. Impacted wisdom teeth can partially erupt or remain entirely submerged.

If impacted wisdom teeth lead to complications such as pain, trapping of food and debris, infection, gum disease, tooth decay in a partially emerged state, damage to nearby teeth or bone, the formation of a cyst around the wisdom tooth, or issues with orthodontic treatments aimed at aligning other teeth, it is likely necessary to extract the impacted wisdom tooth.
