Preventive dentistry at Wakim Cosmetic and Family Dental Group uses preventive measures to reduce your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. The dental professionals offer:
If your dentist detects an oral health problem requiring additional treatment, they might suggest a crown, bridge, root canal, extraction, dental implants, or dentures to restore teeth or prevent complications.
When you arrive at Wakim Cosmetic and Family Dental Group for a preventive dentistry appointment, your dental hygienist thoroughly cleans and flosses your teeth. They take dental X-rays, too. Your dentist offers fluoride treatment and sealants to prevent tooth decay and examines your teeth and gums to let you know if additional treatments are needed.
Based on the results of your dental exam, your dentist might recommend:
Fillings, often made of tooth-colored materials, are effective treatments for small to medium-sized cavities. Your dentist first removes tooth decay prior to filling placement.
A crown is a dental cap your dentist permanently bonds to a tooth after removing decay. Crowns strengthen your teeth and protect them from future problems.
Dental bridges often contain two crowns attached to an artificial tooth in-between. They eliminate gaps left by missing permanent teeth.
Root canals are procedures in which your dentist removes decayed or infected portions of the inside of your tooth, cleans it, and fills it with dental materials to restore and strengthen it. They may seal the tooth with a filling or affix a crown to protect it.
If you require tooth extraction due to severe tooth decay, or you already have missing permanent teeth, Wakim Cosmetic and Family Dental Group offers dentures and dental implants to give you the full set of teeth you desire.
If you have gum disease, your dentist might complete scaling and root planing, crown lengthening, soft tissue grafts, pocket reduction procedures, or regenerative gum disease treatments to restore soft tissue and reduce gum recession and bone loss.
Preventive dentistry doesn’t stop at your dental office, as proper at-home oral hygiene is the key to maintaining optimal oral health. Examples include:
