Cleanings and Check Up’s
Dental cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, is a preventive oral health procedure aimed at removing plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. During a dental cleaning, we use specialized tools to meticulously clean your teeth and gums. This process helps to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. It is recommended to have a dental cleaning at least twice a year, as it not only maintains your oral hygiene but also allows your dentist to detect any potential problems early on. Regular dental cleanings contribute to overall health and wellbeing.
Dental Fillings
A dental filling is a common procedure used to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay, cracks, or wear. The process begins with the dentist removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth. After cleaning the area, the dentist fills the cavity with a material such as composite resin or porcelain, depending on the specific needs of the case and the location of the tooth. The procedure is typically quick and completed in a single visit. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor the integrity of fillings and overall dental health.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often used for a variety of reasons, including protecting a weak tooth from further damage, holding together parts of a cracked tooth, or covering a dental implant. They can be made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these, depending on the specific needs and aesthetic preferences of the patient. The procedure typically involves reshaping the existing tooth, taking impressions, and placing a temporary crown until the permanent one is ready.
Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to treat infection or damage within the pulp of a tooth. During the process, the dentist removes the infected or inflamed pulp, cleans the interior of the tooth, and then fills and seals it to prevent further infection. This treatment alleviates pain, saves the natural tooth, and restores its function, allowing for normal biting and chewing. Post-treatment care is essential to ensure healing and maintain oral health.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, usually made of titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth or bridges. They provide a durable and stable foundation for artificial teeth, enhancing both function and aesthetics. The implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, ensuring long-lasting results. Ideal candidates for dental implants include individuals with missing teeth and healthy gums, who are able to undergo oral surgery. Implants can improve chewing ability, speech, and overall dental health, making them a popular solution in modern dentistry. This process takes between 3-4 months to complete from start to finish. Dr. Gold is an expert in the field and has placed well over 20,000 implants. He is a certified Dental Implantologist.
Wisdom Tooth Extractions
Wisdom tooth extraction is a dental procedure aimed at removing one or more of the third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth. These teeth typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood and can cause various dental issues if they become impacted, misaligned, or result in overcrowding. The extraction procedure usually involves local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, ensuring the patient is comfortable throughout the process. Proper aftercare is essential for healing and to prevent complications such as infection. Having done thousands of extractions, Dr. Gold is an expert in wisdom extractions, and has even removed all 4 teeth on patients in less than 10 minutes.
Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment involves the use of various dental appliances to correct misaligned teeth and jaws, improving both function and aesthetics. Common methods include braces, aligners, and retainers, which gradually shift teeth into their proper positions. Treatment can address issues such as overcrowding, gaps, and bite misalignments, ultimately enhancing oral health and confidence in one's smile. Duration of treatment varies based on individual needs, typically ranging from several months to a few years. Regular follow-ups with an orthodontist are essential to monitor progress and ensure optimal results.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that utilizes a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. These aligners are designed to be virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, making them a convenient option compared to traditional metal braces. Treatment typically involves a series of aligners that are changed every one to two weeks, each designed to apply specific pressure to the teeth. Invisalign is effective for various orthodontic issues, including crowding, gaps, and bite problems, providing a discreet solution for achieving a straighter smile. Regular check-ins with a dental professional are necessary to monitor progress and make any adjustments needed throughout the treatment. Average cases are between 3-6 months.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at improving the appearance of discolored or stained teeth. Various methods are available, including in-office treatments and at-home kits. In-office whitening typically uses a high-concentration bleaching agent applied by a dental professional, often enhanced by a special light. At our practice we use the Zoom 2 Whitening Light and Gels. At-home kits may contain lower concentrations of the same agents, allowing for gradual whitening over time. The process can effectively lighten tooth shade by 2-3 shades per session. Each session takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Cat Scan and Panoramic Images
A Head CT Scan (Computed Tomography) is a specialized imaging technique that utilizes X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the head, including the brain, skull, and facial structures. It is often used to diagnose conditions such as tumors, decays, fractures, or other abnormalities.
A Panoramic X-ray, also known as a panoramic radiograph, provides a broad view of the jaws, teeth, and surrounding structures in a single image. Both imaging techniques are crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in dental and medical care. We utilize the world renown I-Cat imaging machine for wisdom extractions, orthodontic and implant planning.
Partials and Dentures
Partial dentures and full dentures are prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth.
They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, which can be removable or fixed. This option helps restore functionality for chewing and improves aesthetics.
Full Dentures are used when all teeth are missing in an arch. They sit directly on the gums and are customized to match the patient’s natural tooth appearance. Full dentures enable patients to regain the ability to eat and speak comfortably while enhancing their smile.
Both options are important solutions for individuals dealing with tooth loss, providing improved oral health and quality of life.
All on 4 Fixed Dentures
All-on-4 dentures are a dental implant technique designed to support a full arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. This innovative solution provides stability and functionality while minimizing the need for extensive bone grafting. The implants are inserted into the jawbone at specific angles, allowing for optimal load distribution and maximizing the use of the available bone. Following the procedure, a temporary set of dentures can often be placed on the same day, providing immediate results and restoring a natural-looking smile efficiently. All-on-4 is a popular choice for patients seeking a durable and long-lasting solution for tooth loss. Dr. Gold is an expert in this field and a official TeethXpress provider, having completed many cases.
