- Dental ExaminationRoutine dental exams can help Drs. Garpetti and Hyder catch early cases of tooth decay. When tooth decay is left untreated, it can cause severe damage to the teeth and gums. Tooth decay may eventually lead to tooth loss, gum disease, or infection. The goal is to prevent tooth decay or to treat it before it progresses into a more complex dental concern.
- Teeth CleaningGum disease may be preventable with improved oral hygiene and routine visits to the dentist. Brushing and flossing thoroughly twice removes food debris, prevents plaque and tartar build-up and helps to manage oral bacteria. Six-month dental checkups and biannual professional teeth cleanings allow for a deeper clean and the ability to catch warning signs of gum disease early.

- DenturesA prosthetic device that you place in your mouth to replace teeth and blend in with your gum tissue is called a denture. This set of false teeth has been used for many years to replace missing teeth. The fake teeth, typically made of resin or porcelain, are fused to an acrylic base that mimics the color of gum tissue. Your dentist will take measurements of your mouth to create them so they will look natural when you wear them. To stay in place, they will rest on the gums or suction to the gums. Sometimes, you may need to use adhesive for extra support.
- OverdenturesWith an overdenture, you will need to remove it to clean it typically at night time. However, you simply snap it out to care for it. This also makes it very easy to clean your gums.
