Implants
Today's dental implants are changing the way people live! With implants, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to smile, eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life. Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. A person with implants regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours have been preserved. Implants consist of small titanium posts which are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition to restoring a natural appearance in the mouth, implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration, which typically occurs when teeth are missing.
Endodontics
With today's modern dental techniques, having root canals done by a dentist is no longer a scary experience. Dr. Patel is experienced in performing root canal therapy. Extensive decay, an accident, tooth fracture, or gum disease can kill teeth and cause a root canal symptom such as root canal pain or a dental abscess. However, regardless of the root canal cause, your teeth can be saved using modern therapy to do root canal treatment.
Periodontics - with Laser
Periodontal treatment starts with prevention: regular cleanings and good hygiene habits are excellent precautions to take to avoid gum disease. The main cause of periodontal disease is bacteria in the form of a sticky, colorless plaque that constantly forms on your teeth; however, other factors can cause the disease or influence its progression. Periodontal laser therapy treats the disease more effectively and comfortably than ever, removing scar tissue in periodontal pockets, killing bacteria causing the disease and promoting the reattachment of the gum to tooth. Scaling, root planing and local delivery of antimicrobials can treat and prevent the progression of the disease. In some cases, surgical therapy or cosmetic solutions may be necessary to correct the damage from gum disease physically and cosmetically. Dr. Patel can evaluate your situation and present the best treatment options for you.
Inlays & Onlays
Metal fillings are not the healthiest solution, often expanding and contracting with temperature changes. This can cause cracking or allow bacteria to affect further decay. Onlays and Inlays make it possible to replace unsightly silver fillings with beautiful and healthy tooth-colored restorations. We’ll design them to match your teeth, reviving your natural strength, wear, and function. With new materials such as pure porcelain, it really is finally possible to beautifully repair and restore your smile.
Orthodontics
Orthodontics is the branch of dental care that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities using corrective devices, such as braces. Orthodontic treatment correct the alignment of the teeth, jaws and lips and prevents physical health problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, bone destruction and chewing and digestive difficulties. Orthodontic treatment results in improved self esteem, health benefits, and a gorgeous smile!
