That’s why we offer several preventative treatments so you can maintain a beautiful, healthy smile!
Dental Cleanings and Checkups
During a comprehensive oral exam, your dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. Detecting signs of oral issues early on can help effectively resolve the issue and prevent the problem from worsening.
Dental Hygiene
You must receive professional teeth cleaning to achieve optimum oral health. The only way to remove plaque and tartar is by receiving teeth cleaning from a dental professional. At Crescent Oak Dental, our dental hygienists will use tools to thoroughly clean, floss, and polish your teeth, as well as apply a fluoride treatment.
Gum Grafting
Gum recession not only affects the appearance of your smile; however, it can also have an impact on your oral health. When your gums begin to recede, your body loses its defence against bacteria. Gum reconstruction may be necessary to prevent a bacterial infection or other oral health issues.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is used to remove the infected pulp inside the root canal system. The main goal of root canal therapy is to save the affected tooth from being extracted. Once the pulp has been removed, your dentist will clean and disinfect the area. A restoration may be necessary to give the tooth strength and protection.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a great way to protect your teeth from tooth decay. The grooves and fissures on the molars tend to be hard to clean and trap bacteria. Dental sealants are applied to create a smooth surface to help reduce cavities.
Tooth Extractions
Even though we try our best to save as many teeth as possible, tooth extraction is sometimes the best course of action. Your dentist may suggest receiving a tooth extraction if you have extensive decay, impacted wisdom teeth, or require more room for orthodontic treatments.
Teeth Whitening
With professional teeth whitening, you can achieve a smile that is eight shades lighter in a single whitening session! This treatment is a great way to enhance your smile safely and effectively. Although professional teeth whitening is a standard treatment, it does not mean it is for everyone. Contact our dental clinic today to request a consultation!
Digital X-rays
Digital X-rays are used to examine your teeth, gums, and jaw. With the advancement of technology, your dentist can now quickly and effectively detect cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Digital X-rays are used during comprehensive oral exams and other dental treatments.
