Preventative Dentistry

Preventative dentistry means to take care of all the routine cleaning and tooth maintenance, before cavities and tooth decay ever have a chance to form. With proper dental care and direction, we can reach this goal with all our patients.

• Prevent tooth problems with regular exams & cleanings.
• Detect cancer in its early and most treatable stages with oral cancer screenings.
• Avoid costly childhood cavities by protecting teeth with dental sealants.
• Learn how to properly brush your teeth by reading our brushing tips.
• Learn how to properly floss your teeth by reading our flossing tips.

Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry is all about bringing mouths back into use. When you have one or more missing or damaged teeth, you may experience difficulty eating, chewing, or even speaking properly. And (if you’re missing one of the front teeth), it can detract from your appearance as well, affecting your confidence and self-esteem!

• Permanently replace one or more missing teeth with dental implants.
• Securely hold replacement teeth in position with implant dentures.
• Replace your missing teeth with a dental prosthetic like dentures.
• Repair teeth and stop further decay with cavity fillings.
• Repair damaged or decayed teeth with inlays and onlays.
• Restore broken or cracked teeth with dental crowns.
• Replace a missing tooth with a dental bridge.
• Teeth damaged beyond repair can be removed by extractions.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Sometimes, a thorough tooth cleaning and improved at-home care are all that’s needed to enhance your smile. On the other hand, sometimes you need a little extra help! If you’re feeling a bit self-conscious about your teeth, or perhaps want to look you best for an important event, consider a cosmetic dentistry consultation.

• Repair stains, cracks/chips, and imperfections with porcelain veneers.
• Increase confidence and restore your smile with teeth whitening.
• Replace amalgam fillings or fill minor cavities with tooth-colored fillings.
• Close gaps or repair chips and cracks in your teeth with dental bonding.
• Reshape and sculpt the gum line using gum lifts.

Periodontics

Periodontal (gum) disease is an infection of the gums and/or surrounding soft tissue, caused by a buildup of bacteria. The best way to prevent such infections is to practice good brushing, flossing, and nutrition every day. However, once infection does occur, we have several effective ways to treat the condition. These fall into the treatment category we call periodontics.

• Treat gum disease on an ongoing basis with periodontal maintenance.
• Remove tough buildup from your teeth with ultrasonic cleaning.
• Remove plaque, calcification, and buildup with scaling and root planing.
• Treat and prevent gum disease with pocket reduction surgery.
• Reshape/remove excessive gum tissue with crown lengthening.
• Treat gum recession that’s led to resorption with guided bone regeneration

Endodontics

The portion of teeth we can see is really just the “tip of the iceberg.” Within your mouth, bone and gum tissue surround and supports each tooth, and approximately two-thirds (the root portion) is in the jaw bone. Furthermore, inside every tooth is a canal or series of canals (depending on the number of roots and variety of teeth). Each canal has a vein, artery, and nerve inside. Collectively, we refer to this portion as the pulp. Sometimes this pulp becomes irritated or infected, usually due to trauma or advanced tooth decay. In these cases, a root canal (a.k.a. endodontic treatment/endodontics) may be necessary in order to save the tooth.

• Relieve a painful or infected tooth with root canal treatment.
• Treat infections of the teeth and gums with an abscess removal.
• Lighten stains located within the tooth with internal bleaching.

We know getting orthodontic treatment is a big decision. And it’s important to have a dentist who’s opinion and knowledge you can trust.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth can emerge anytime in the late teenage years, 20’s or even in a person’s early 30’s. Dentists often recommend to remove wisdom teeth (extraction) before they begin to emerge, because their positioning can cause disruption or damage to surrounding teeth.

Even when wisdom teeth do emerge correctly, they experience higher rates of cavities and tooth decay because they are so hard to reach when brushing and flossing. If you’ve heard that you or your teen needs thier wisdom teeth removed, don’t wait until it causes pain or other problems.

Technologies

When it comes to technologies in dentistry, Antelope Dental Associates is always happy to make the investment on behalf of our patients. The field of dentistry is ever-changing, and we have developed an effective strategy of incorporating new advancements in technology while also maintaining traditional and proven methods.

• Less pollution and radiation thanks to our digital X-rays.
• Highest quality imaging and precise treatment planning with 3D X-rays.
• For ultimate precision, many of our procedures are aided by intraoral cameras.
