Preventative Services
Coming to the dentist for regular preventative care is the best thing you can do to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Having cavity detection films
can help Dr. Cole spot a problem while it is small and take care of it at that time, which will help prevent additional loss of tooth structure, possibility of pain or the need for root canal therapy.
Periodontal Services
Also known as root planing and scaling this treatment is to remove a build up of plaque and calculus that has grown down the root of the tooth which leads to bad breath and other health conditions. Studies have shown that patients who take care of their mouths tend to have better overall health!
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy becomes necessary when decay or bacteria has invaded the nerve of the tooth. This procedure removes the actual nerve of the tooth which will provide relief for someone who has been experiencing pain that wakes them at night. It will help the patient to keep the tooth longer which will continue to help process foods for easier digestion. With the advances in dentistry that have been made, this procedure has become almost as easy for the patient as a filling appointment.
Crowns and Dentures
Placing a crown on a tooth helps to protect a tooth that has been cracked or filled so many times that it can no longer hold a filling in the tooth so we protect it from the outside. The crown provides strength and longevity that may not otherwise exist if the tooth were not protected.
Dentures help to replace teeth that have been missing to help patients
process their food for their best health and also to help patients look better. Everyone loves a beautiful smile!
