General Dentistry At Prosthodontics & Implant Therapy, we pride ourselves on treating every member of the family. Family dentistry is focused on preventing potential complications, rather than treating them. If you and your family are in need of professional dental services, we can help!Cleanings, Exams, and Oral Cancer ScreeningsThe American Dental Association (ADA) recommends a routine check-up up roughly twice a year. A routine appointment with your dentist at Prosthodontics & Implant Therapy will typically include a professional cleaning and a detailed examination of your teeth, gums, and other oral tissues. We may also recommend an oral cancer screening for our older patients. Learn more about routine check-ups. Periodontal CareYour periodontal (gum) tissues are just as important as your teeth. Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in the United States. Periodontal disease is the result of an infection in the gum tissues, connective ligaments, and eventually the alveolar bone. The disease is characterized by gums that are swollen, red, and tend to bleed during brushing and flossing. Luckily, periodontal disease is easy to prevent and treat if it is caught early enough. If we notice signs of advanced periodontal disease, we may recommend a scaling and root planing procedure. The goal is to return your gums to a pink, healthy state. Learn more about caring for your gums. Invisalign® Clear AlignersWe offer Invisalign® clear aligners as a discrete alternative to traditional orthodontic treatments, such as braces. Aligner treatment involves a series of trays that gradually move your teeth to a more proper position. We often recommend clear aligners for adult patients who do not want their treatment to get in the way of their personal or professional life. Discover how Invisalign® clear aligners can discretely move your teeth. Sleep Apnea/Oral AppliancesIf you have obstructive sleep apnea, you may benefit from an oral appliance. An oral appliance will keep your jaw in the proper position during sleep. This opens your airway and improves your breathing during sleep. With an oral appliance, you may find yourself feeling more well-rested, alert and happy, thanks to a full night's sleep. Learn more about how an oral appliance could improve your sleep. Dental FillingsWe always try to treat a cavity before it progresses into a more serious complication using fillings. Fillings can also be used to repair cracked, broken, or worn down teeth, specifically with the use of composite resin. Learn more about Dental Fillings.
