- Dental ExaminationYour Invisalign® journey begins with a comprehensive dental examination. We will take note of your orthodontic concerns and determine if the Invisalign® technique is best for you. We’ll need to make impressions (molds) of your teeth, from which the experts at the Invisalign® headquarters will design and create a unique series of transparent plastic aligners just for your teeth.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningA dental exam with one of our Augusta dentists includes a complete set of digital X-rays and an oral cancer screening. Our dentists also check for proper jaw position, and examine your soft and hard tissue for signs of disease or decay.
- Teeth CleaningRoutine dental cleanings at least twice a year with your dental hygienist go a long way toward keeping your teeth and gums healthy.
- Fluoride TreatmentPatients of every age can benefit from fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral found in water and in many foods. Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay by making your teeth better able to fight decay-causing acids in foods and beverages. Professional fluoride applications are more concentrated than the fluoride levels in your toothpaste and mouth rinse. They can be applied as a gel, foam or varnish.
- Dental SealantsDental sealants are a plastic material that we apply to the chewing surfaces of your child’s molars to create a protective barrier against tooth decay. The molars are filled with deep grooves that can capture food. Sealants prevent this from happening by providing years of protection. However, they wear down over time, so it’s important to maintain routine professional checkups so the sealants can be checked and reapplied if necessary.
- Fillings
- VeneersPorcelain veneers are one method of correcting a variety of tooth imperfections, including chipped, cracked, discolored, uneven and misaligned teeth. These thin sheets of porcelain are bonded to the fronts of your teeth to cover imperfections and create a dazzling smile. Some veneers require a slight reduction of your tooth structure to make room for the veneer without adding additional bulk to your teeth. Other types of veneers we offer require minimal to no preparation of the existing tooth surface. Our dentists will perform an evaluation and recommend a treatment approach that best addresses your unique needs.
- CrownsTeeth that have more extensive imperfections can be improved with porcelain crowns. Crowns are an ideal solution to significantly chipped, cracked and decayed teeth. We will closely match the porcelain to the shade of your existing teeth to create a restoration that looks natural.
- Bridges
- Dental BondingAlso known as cosmetic bonding, this is a tooth-colored filling material used to create composite veneers. The difference between direct bonding and porcelain veneers is that this is a procedure where the veneer is created by the dentist chairside. Composite bonding is more of an interim or cost-saving solution.
- Restorative DentistryYour teeth are meant to serve a greater purpose than just looking good when you smile. They need to function properly, too. Restorative dental treatments restore function and aesthetics while also managing any oral health problems that caused you to need restorative dentistry in the first place.
- Root Canal TreatmentRoot canal therapy is used to restore a tooth root when its inner nerve is infected. We begin by removing the infected pulp and nerve tissue, as well as any bacteria and tooth decay that is present. Then the tooth is restored with a crown to restore full functionality.
- DenturesDentures are removable appliances that are a solution for patients who are missing many or all of their teeth. We fit patients for full and partial dentures in our office. As their names suggest, full dentures replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures are a solution for a few missing teeth. Removable partial dentures are laboratory-created replacement teeth that are secured to a gum-colored plastic base, which sometimes is connected by a metal framework that secures the denture into its proper position in your mouth.
- Dental ImplantsCrowns made from porcelain can be placed over a tooth that has been damaged due to decay or trauma. This is a good restoration option for severely decayed teeth, as well as chipped, cracked or broken teeth. Crowns also can be placed on dental implants to replace a missing tooth.
