- Dental ExaminationAt your routine dental exam, Dr. Clarke and our compassionate dental team can provide recommendations for improving your oral health. We’d be more than happy to help you improve your brushing technique or suggest an anti-bacterial mouth rinse to achieve the cleanest mouth possible.
- X-rays
- Teeth CleaningAim to brush twice a day and floss at least once a day to remove any food that may be trapped in between teeth. Professional dental cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup, which can create a bacterial breeding ground for gum disease to occur. We recommend at least two dental visits a year so Dr. Clarke can look out for any early signs of gum disease and provide prompt treatment.
- Fluoride Treatment
- Dental Sealants
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeIn all those scenarios (and many, many more), our team at Laser Dentistry in Bradenton, Florida, might recommend composite resin bonding restorations.
- VeneersPorcelain veneers: Dental veneers are thin, porcelain shells bonded to the front teeth to conceal imperfections such as cracks, chips, or crooked teeth.
- CrownsDr. Kelly Clarke has the experience and credentials you should look for when considering a dentist for crowns.
- BridgesDental Bridge – A dental bridge is an excellent option for patients needing to replace a single missing tooth or several consecutive missing teeth. The dental bridge is custom-made and color-matched to blend in with your natural teeth. The dental bridge is attached to two adjacent teeth to keep it in place and fill the gaps in your smile.
- Dental BondingWe advise those patients getting tooth bonding to avoid certain foods and beverages (like tea or coffee) that can heavily stain the restoration. They don’t need to take further steps to care for these restorations besides brushing, flossing, and routine visits to Laser Dentistry to ensure oral health. If the composite bonding gets stained or just needs a little enhancement, our team can replace the restoration to keep the smile shining!
- Restorative DentistryDr. Clarke offers a range of treatment options for missing teeth. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or a full arch, we can help you rebuild a beautiful smile with restorative dentistry.
- Root Canal TreatmentDr. Kelly Clarke has the experience and credentials you should look for when considering a new dentist for your root canal treatment.
- Periodontal SurgeryWe define Laser dentistry as the field of dentistry that uses laser tools to treat dental conditions. These conditions can also be treated with more conventional instruments, like drills or scalpels. But the great advantage of laser technology is that it offers less traumatic dental experiences. By using laser tools, the dentist eliminates the dreaded noise and vibration of drills and the use of more invasive treatments like periodontal surgery or SRP.
- Deep CleaningGingivitis therapy is basically a deep cleaning at the early stages of the infection. Sometimes it includes antibiotics applied straight onto the soft tissues or taken orally, addressing the disease from the inside out. Gingivitis therapy at Laser Dentistry is cheaper and less invasive than other therapies performed when the condition advances. We actively encourage patients to always take a more proactive approach to face this condition.
- DenturesMost Americans start worrying when they first see signs of ageing. As soon as they see the fine lines and wrinkles on their face, they immediately start thinking about plastic surgery. However, many people don’t know that the changes in their facial appearance can also be a consequence of tooth loss and the use of complete dentures. Ageing signs are not only about skin laxity.
- Dental ImplantsDr. Kelly Clarke has the experience and credentials you should look for when considering a Dental Implant Dentist.
- Oral SurgeryDr. Clarke screens for gum disease during routine dental visits as part of our comprehensive oral health care treatment. This allows us to catch any signs of gum disease early on and perform conservative treatment options such as a deep cleaning procedure known as scaling and root planing. Gum disease that has already progressed may require more extensive treatment such as laser therapy or oral surgery.
- Gum SurgeryDr. Clarke is also trained in laser therapy, a state-of-the-art technology that can in many cases eliminate the need for gum surgery in later stages of gum disease. Laser therapy is minimally invasive and eliminates pockets of bacteria without requiring a scalpel, sutures, or long downtime.
- Tooth Extractions
- Bone GraftingBut this doesn’t mean that patients with insufficient bone will never get an implant. In some cases, the patient might just need bone grafting. With this technique, the dentist builds up the bone required to hold the implant in place. After a few weeks, the new bone tissue will be ready, and the dentist will perform the surgery.
- OrthodonticsDr. Clarke may recommend correcting bite misalignment using orthodontics, restorative dentistry, or using an oral sleep appliance while sleeping. Treatment will be tailored to your specific needs and can require a combination of restorative and oral sleep appliance therapy for best results.
