Routine Cleanings
To prevent or delay the progression of periodontal diseases, most people should get a teeth cleaning every six months courtesy of your favorite Raleigh dentist.
Cosmetic Teeth Whitening
As your preferred cosmetic dentist in Raleigh, we offer both traditional “bleaching tray” teeth whitening and ZOOM chairside whitening.
Prevention/Treatment of Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease is an infection in the gums caused by bacteria in the mouth. If left untreated it could lead to gum damage, bone loss, and tooth loss. Periodontal disease also may affect your overall health and has been linked to diabetes and heart disease.
Digital Radiographs
Digital Radiographs provide images of your teeth and oral cavity with a 90% reduced rate of exposure compared to traditional X-rays. Digital Radiographs also provide an instant image to allow the doctor and patient to see cavities and bone loss.
Intraoral Photos
Intraoral Photos allow us to show you your their teeth on a computer monitor. These pictures are a way for doctor and patient to better talk about dental desires and needs, as well as the condition of fillings, and fractures in the tooth that may be causing discomfort.
Oral Cancer Screening
As part of our comprehensive treatment, we always perform an oral cancer screening on the head and neck. In addition, we also offer the Vizilite screening as an aid in detecting any oral abnormalities you may have as early as possible.
DIAGNodent
A safe and comfortable laser that scans your teeth and identifies cavities and potential cavities. This tool is far more effective than the old-fashion hand instrument.
Sealants
A preventive, safe procedure that forms a hard protective shield over your tooth and keeps food and bacteria from getting in the tiny grooves of the teeth and causing decay.
Tooth Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings are made from durable plastics called composite resins. Similar in color and texture to natural teeth, the fillings are less noticeable and much more attractive than other types of fillings.
Treating TMJ
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is the severe inflammation of the joint that connects your lower jaw to your skull. Symptoms can range from head and neck aches to popping and/or clicking when you open your mouth. A Night Guard, Occlusal Guard, or muscle relaxer may be necessary to treat TMJ.
Oral Surgery
Simple extractions.
Root Canals
Removing infected nerve tissue and cleaning canals in the root of a tooth and replacing with filling material to seal canal. Often following a root canal, a tooth will require a crown to prevent breakage of the tooth.
Crowns, Implant Crowns & Bridges
- Dental Crowns - Crowns are coverings or caps that help restore a broken down tooth to its original shape and function, a crown is also used for fractured teeth in order to prevent further fracture that may lead to a loss of the tooth or root canal therapy. We offer all porcelain, conventional porcelain fused to metal and gold crowns.
- Implant Crowns - Dental implants take the place of the missing root of a missing tooth, and a prosthetic crown replaces the natural crown.
- Bridges - These are used to replace one or more missing teeth, it involves two or more crowns that are fused together in order to fill the missing space.
- Porcelain Veneers - Veneers are custom-designed shells of ceramic material that cover a tooth surface. Veneers can provide a nicer-looking smile by correcting uneven tooth alignment, closing spaces between teeth, and removing chips, cracks, or stains on teeth.
