Examination
The examination is a complete visual inspection of the oral cavity along with
any necessary x-rays. Screening for oral cancer and periodontal disease is part
of the exam.
Cleaning (oral prophylaxis)
Cleaning is a preventative procedure that is important to have done at least
every 6 months, more often for certain individuals.
Sealants
A sealant is a plastic resin material that is applied to the chewing surfaces
of back teeth. This preventative measure allows the dentist to seal out plaque
and food from the grooves and pits in teeth that are prime targets for decay.
Root Canal Therapy
When the pulp that is inside the tooth becomes infected, it cannot repair
itself. Years ago, extraction was the only option. Today, through endodontics,
or root canal therapy, these teeth can be saved
Invisalign®
The invisible way to straighten
your teeth, without metal braces. Invisalign clear braces can give you the
beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted. It works through senses of
invisible, clear, removable and comfortable aligners that no one can tell
you’re wearing. With these “clear braces,” you can smile more during treatment
as well as after. Dr. Singh is certified to treat with Invisalign. Ask us if
you are a candidate for Invisalign.
Crowns
Crowns
are an excellent dental restoration option for teeth that are decayed, cracked,
or broken to the point where a filling is not enough to hold the tooth together
and prevent further damage. Crowns can also be used to strengthen a weak tooth,
or to enhance a tooth’s appearance. During the procedure, all of the damaged
tooth material is removed, and your custom-made crown is permanently cemented
onto the remaining tooth structure. Crowns seal off the damaged area and
restore normal function to the tooth, so eating and speaking are not affected.
Crowns can be made of metal or tooth-colored material – both types are durable
and comfortable.
Dental Implants
For a permanent, lifelike replacement of a missing tooth, dental implants are the most technologically advanced solution. Dr. Singh has the training to place dental implants and offer this excellent restoration service. First, he will place a metal post into the jawbone beneath the missing tooth. The jawbone eventually fuses together with this post, which serves as a new "root" for your tooth. Then, Dr. Singh will attach a custom-made prosthetic tooth to the new root. Dental implants are strong, natural-looking, and impervious to stains. With normal brushing and flossing, these durable restorations can last a lifetime. They can be used to replace one missing tooth, or even an entire set of teeth. If you are interested in dental implants or any of our other dental restoration options, please contact us today. We're ready to help your smile look great. again. again!
Bridges
If
you have a missing tooth, not only is your appearance affected, your overall
dental health may be at risk. This is because your other teeth tend to drift
toward the space left by the missing tooth, setting off a chain reaction of
alignment, bite, and gapping problems throughout your mouth. One of the best
ways to prevent these problems is to replace the missing tooth with a bridge. A
bridge is a prosthetic, natural-colored tooth that is permanently anchored into
place with crowns that are placed onto the adjoining teeth. Bridges are
particularly effective because they fill the gap left by the missing tooth,
prevent your other teeth from drifting, and maintain the health and beauty of
your smile.
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays
and onlays are a restoration option when something more than a filling, but
less than a full crown, is needed to restore the appearance and function of a
tooth. Typically, inlays and onlays are considered in cases of dental decay, or
when old fillings have weakened or broken and need to be replaced. These
custom-made restorations can be made of metal or tooth-colored material. Inlays
fill the space where the decay or the old filling was, while onlays go on the
exterior surface to build up the tooth to its normal dimensions
Dentures
Over
time, your teeth can wear down, decay, become dull and brittle, and may even
require removal. Besides being unattractive, aging teeth can cause problems
with eating and speaking. If this is the case for you or a loved one, dentures
may be the best solution to restore dental health and satisfaction with your
appearance. Dr. Singh and his team provide advanced denture solutions that
are comfortable, natural-looking, and easy to care for. Whether you require a
full set of dentures, or a partial set to replace only a few teeth, we can help
your smile stay attractive and functional for many years to come.
Other Services:
Extractions
Extractions are performed when teeth cannot be saved or when they need to be
removed for
Periodontal Therapy
The leading cause of tooth loss in adults today is periodontal, or gum, disease.
Early diagnosis and treatment for this condition is critical for maintaining
healthy teeth and gums.
Bleaching
Dentist supervised bleaching is the safest and most effective method to
brighten your smile. Two systems are offered for your convenience: an in-office
procedure and a take-home delivery system.
Enamel Bonding
The appearance of malformed or broken teeth can be amazingly improved by
bonding a veneer of porcelain or composite to their surfaces.
Mouthguards
Mouth injuries resulting in lost teeth, fractured jaws and concussions are
often sports related. Many of these injuries could be prevented by wearing a
mouthguard. A professionally fabricated mouthguard not only protects well, but
allows for easy speech and breathing.
