Dental Cleaning
Having a professional dental cleaning once every six months can improve your appearance, your breath – even your overall health. Recent studies seem to suggest a link between poor oral hygiene and an increased risk of heart attack and strokes. By removing plaque before it hardens into tartar and irritates and infects your gum tissue, we can help keep you and your teeth healthy. Once we thoroughly clean and floss your teeth, we’ll polish them to restore their natural luster.

Dental Exams
By examining your teeth once every three to six months as per the American Dental Association’s® recommendation, we can identify and treat potential trouble spots before they become serious problems. We perform a thorough examination, evaluating the health of your teeth and gums. Following this, an oral cancer screening is performed to check for any abnormalities in the oral cavity. We then review any findings with you and the options needed to return you to excellent oral health.

Root Canals
In the most severe cases, the plaque that causes tooth decay eats its way through the enamel that forms the outer layer of your tooth and attacks the soft core of tissue inside known as the pulp. If that happens, you may need a root canal to save the tooth. After the infected pulp is removed, the pulp chamber and root canals are cleaned, shaped and sealed using the latest system called EndoVac. EndoVac creates a powerful current force to pump disinfecting irrigants throughout the entire root canal system, so pain-inducing bacteria are destroyed more quickly and effectively. It is the only system of its kind in the world and is clinically proven to remove more bacteria than traditional methods alone. This ensures a longer-lasting treatment for the tooth and lowers the incidence of recurrent infections. Following the root canal procedure, a crown will need to be placed to keep the tooth from fracturing with time. With regular checkups and proper care, your restored tooth should last for the rest of your life.
