TEETH CLEENING & EXAMS
Regular dental exams are an important part of preventive health care. During a dental exam, the dentist or hygienist will clean your teeth and check for cavities and gum disease.
DIGITAL X-RAYS
Similar to traditional dental X-rays that use film, your dentist inserts a sensor into your mouth to capture digital radiography images of your teeth. They are available instantly.
FILLINGS, EXTRACTIONS & ROOT CANALS
Root canals and tooth extractions are procedures dentists can use to treat teeth that are damaged or infected in some way.
CROWNS & BRIDGES
Bridges and crowns are fixed prosthetic devices that are cemented onto existing teeth or implants by a dentist. Crowns are used to entirely cover or “cap” a damaged tooth or cover an implant.
TEETH WHITENING
Teeth whitening is not a medical procedure but it can result in whiter teeth and a brighter smile. This in turn can make people feel better about themselves.
Velscope Oral Cancer Screenings
Head and neck cancer, including oral cancer, cancer of the larynx, and cancer of the pharynx, is the sixth most common type of cancer worldwide.
