Comprehensive Exam and Teeth Cleanings
also called prophylaxis or "prophy"
Many conditions can be detected at an early stage during your regular checkup and cleaning visits. Early detection and treatment will help you avoid potentially serious, painful, and costly dental problems in the future. Keeping your teeth and gums clean is important, not just for oral hygiene but also for your overall health. Having a professional dental cleaning every six months is one of the best ways to prevent serious dental problems.
Periodontal Care
Did you know that roughly half of American adults have periodontal disease? Periodontal disease is a common, yet entirely preventable, health issue. When a simple cleaning is not sufficient to solve your gum problem (also known as periodontitis), you will need a deep cleaning (also known as scaling and root planning). During the treatment, the dentist will clean underneath your gums and remove any tartar or calculus. Combining with localized applied antibiotic-Arrestin and regular Perio Maintenance, we want to make sure your smile isn’t one that’s affected by periodontal disease.
Fluoride Treatments
Bacteria, sugars, and acid that linger in your mouth can harm tooth enamel and damage teeth. Topical fluoride treatments help protect your teeth from these harmful substances and can even reverse early signs of decay. Studies show that fluoride is an important mineral for all age, especially children.
Dental Sealants
This simple, painless treatment only takes a few minutes. But it could protect your teeth for years by keeping plaque and decay away. A thin, plastic coating will be applied to your teeth at deep grooves or pits, which are the most susceptible area to cavities. It is proven to be one of the most efficient methods to protect your child’s teeth. This treatment also help you maintain a beautiful, healthy smile.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screenings can help detect the early stages of oral cancer. Do not ignore suspicious lumps or ulcers; any alteration of the appearance inside your mouth could be a warning sign. This is another reason to see a dentist regularly and have your mouth checked—-your regular dental visit may actually save your life.
Mouth Guards and Night Guards
It is not just a piece of plastic to prevent grinding. A well fit night guard can prevent migraine pain and tension-type headache pain. By positioning your jaw slightly forward, it also can help sleep apnea.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Veneers
If you have concerns are chipped, discolored, uneven, or misaligned teeth, Veneers can cover up almost any cosmetic flaw and ensure that you have a bright, white, and beautiful smile. In order to fit veneers seamlessly and look natural, a very thin layer of enamel will be removed from any teeth that will be receiving veneers. Then, your dentist will take multiple impressions and pictures to design a perfect smile for you. During the wait time, you will wear a set of temporary veneers until the final veneers arrive. To keep your beautifully restored smile forever, we highly recommend you wear your night guard to protect your investment.
Invisalign
If you look for a comfortable solution to align teeth that are crooked, overlapping, or have gaps between them, Invisalign can straighten teeth without braces. Your Invisalign treatment consists of a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that you change every week for the next set of aligners. Each aligner is custom designed just for your teeth. As you replace each aligner, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position prescribed by your dentist.
Teeth Whitening
We offer wide variety of Teeth Whitening options for restoring your smile and your self-confidence. This treatment reverses tooth stains caused by the natural aging process, drinking dark beverages like coffee and tea, and improper oral hygiene habits. The complete procedure takes less than an hour, but a regular teeth cleaning is recommended prior to the actual teeth whitening session. For the popular Zoom in-office whitening, the procedure begins with a short preparation to cover the lips and gums, leaving the teeth exposed. Our dentist then applies the Zoom hydrogen peroxide whitening gel, which works together with the Zoom light to penetrate the teeth and break up the stains and discoloration. Afterwards, we do recommend you maintain an appropriate oral hygiene regimen to prevent stains from reforming, and see our dentist regularly for scheduled teeth cleanings.
Restorative Dentistry
If a damaged tooth is keeping you down, we can help with natural-looking, undetectable restorative options. We listen to your needs to determine the best treatment for your smile and your budget. Depending on the broken teeth condition, the treatment options may vary from filling, crown, bridge, denture to implants. We want to restore your smile like no damage happened to them before.
Dental Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns are “caps” that cover the entire surface of the tooth above the gum line, restoring and protecting damaged teeth. Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by capping two adjacent “abutment teeth” and connect them together. Super floss or water floss will be needed to clean under the bridge.
Removable Partial Dentures and Complete Dentures
Missing teeth can negatively affect your oral health and confidence, interfering with your daily life. Dentures are typically more affordable than other replacement options, so if you are missing your teeth and you’re on a budget, dentures may be the best choice for you. Besides restoring your smile and your bite, allowing you to eat, speak and smile normally once again. Partial dentures help prevent some of the complications associated with tooth loss, such as teeth shifting toward the empty socket where your missing tooth used to be. The limitation of denture is you do need to take off your denture before sleep and wash them well. Since they are mostly held into your mouth using friction, you cannot expect them function as natural teeth. For long term teeth replacement, implants and implant-supported dentures are advised.
Implants
We know that missing teeth can cause emotional stress and lead to more dental health issues, and we’re here to help you navigate the process of choosing a replacement option. create a permanent, natural-looking prosthetic tooth that blends in with the rest of your smile.
The process starts with a consultation at Best Smile 4 U. After our dentists examine your gums and jawbone to make sure you’re a good candidate for implants, we’ll connect you with a specialist who will surgically place a small titanium post into your gum line. Once this heals, our doctors will attach it to a custom restoration that is built to blend in with the rest of your teeth and look completely natural. You’ll leave our office with a brand new smile.
One of the best things about dental implants is that they can last a lifetime with proper oral care. The durability of dental implants is a major advantage, and this means that you won’t need to make multiple costly visits to get them replaced. Since they are surgically inserted into your jawbone and they are made to mimic a tooth root, they look and feel completely natural.
