bridges
bridge the gap between your teeth
Dental bridges are restorative dental devices used to replace missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth anchored in place by dental crowns on adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants. Bridges help restore the appearance, function, and alignment of the smile, allowing individuals to speak and chew properly while maintaining the shape of their face.
cleanings
keep your teeth clean and healthy
Dental cleanings, also known as prophylaxis, are essential preventive procedures performed by dental hygienists or dentists. During a cleaning, plaque and tartar buildup is carefully removed from the teeth, particularly in hard-to-reach areas. This process helps prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath, while also providing an opportunity for the oral health professional to assess the overall condition of the mouth and provide personalized oral hygiene instructions.
dental fillings
restore the health of your smile
Dental fillings are common restorative treatments used to repair teeth damaged by decay or trauma. After removing the decayed or affected portion of the tooth, the dentist fills the cavity with a suitable material such as composite resin, amalgam, or porcelain. Fillings restore the tooth's strength, functionality, and appearance, preventing further decay and preserving the natural tooth structure.
exams and x-rays
protect and restore your dental health
Dental exams and X-rays are crucial diagnostic tools used by dentists to evaluate oral health comprehensively. During a dental exam, the dentist checks for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental issues. X-rays provide valuable insights by revealing conditions that may not be visible during a clinical examination, such as hidden decay, impacted teeth, or bone loss. Regular exams and X-rays enable early detection and timely treatment of dental problems.
oral cancer screening
quick and painless cancer screenings
Oral cancer screening is a vital part of dental check-ups and involves the examination of the oral tissues for any signs of abnormality or cancerous growth. Dentists look for symptoms like sores, red or white patches, lumps, or changes in the texture of the oral tissues. Early detection of oral cancer increases the chances of successful treatment and improves the prognosis. Regular screenings are crucial, especially for individuals at higher risk, such as tobacco users and those with a family history of oral cancer.
