| Prevention |
| Prevention and early detection are the most important
tools you have to avoid costly and sometimes painful dental
treatment. Prevention starts with controing plaque and calculus,
the main cause of gum disease and tooth decay. |
|
Periodontal Disease
|
| Periodontal Desease is the biggest cause
of tooth loss in adults. Early periodontal disease is painless
and shows few symptoms, therefore patients are frequently
unaware of the condition. Regular dental visits are essential
for the early diagnosis and treatment of gum disease. |
| Restore Damaged Teeth |
| Unfortunately, damaged teeth generally will
not heal like most other bodily tissues. Therefore, a damaged
tooth may require an artificial material to replace and
restore its structure. |
| Root Canal Therapy
|
| If a tooth's nerve and/or blood supply (pulp) becomes
infected or inflamed, a root canal is often the only solution
we can use to save the tooth. |
| Dentures |
| Many people believe that once they have dentures,
they no longer need regular dental care. Denture wearers
also require regular dental visits and check ups to ensure
good oral health, denture comfort, and appearance. |
| Implants |
|
Implants provide artificial teeth that look more natural
and feel more secure tha other prosthetics. Implants can
be used to replace a single missing tooth, several teeth.
Implants also are used to support a bridge, full or partial
dentures.
