- X-rays
- Teeth CleaningAre you in need of a routine teeth cleaning or single filling? On the other hand, maybe you seek a complete smile makeover. No matter what your dental needs are, Metropolitan Dental Care in Denver, CO, offer the dental services you need.
- Fluoride Treatment
- FillingsTraditionally, dentists used silver amalgam fillings, also known as metal fillings, for cavity restoration. However, at Metropolitan Dental Care, we believe that composite, tooth-colored resin is the healthiest most esthetic material, so we do not use amalgam.
- Resin CompositeIf you need a filling, one of our dentists will remove the decayed tissue, sanitize the cavity, and fill it with composite resin. This will restore health and comfortable function to your tooth.
- VeneersIf you have one problem tooth or many, veneers provide a dramatic smile transformation. At Metropolitan Dental in Denver, CO, we utilize a dental lab known for high quality veneers. Their customization process produces natural-looking yet stunning results.
- CrownsFormerly called caps, dental crowns reinforce all sides of a tooth and cover the biting surface. Crowns are necessary when...
- BridgesFor patients with tooth loss isolated to one section of the mouth, our Denver dentists at Metropolitan Dental Care provide dental bridges. These custom-made restorative devices are designed to close the gap caused by the loss of one to three adjacent teeth.
- Dental BondingCosmetic Bonding: If you have mild to moderate issues with a tooth or teeth, bonding may be your solution. Utilizing the same material as composite fillings, bonding can fix several issues. Some examples include filling in a chipped tooth, changing the shape of a tooth, or filling in a gap between teeth.
- Restorative DentistryFortunately, we also have dentists who specialize in restorative dentistry. Therefore, we can take care of all your needs in one location.
- Root Canal TreatmentFor instance, if your dentist finds dental decay, a filling may be needed. If the decay is severe, root canal therapy might be in order.
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesIf you wear a retainer, dentures, bridge, mouthguard, or other dental appliance you need to ensure it is kept clean on a regular basis. Proper cleaning helps remove any bacteria and also prolongs the life of the dental appliance.
- Dental ImplantsThis option requires the placement of at least two dental implants. While this produces a much stronger and more reliable result, it does require surgery and enough bone tissue to support the implants. If the patient does not have sufficient jawbone, bone graft surgery may be needed.
- Oral Surgery
- Flap SurgeryCandidates for gum surgery include patients who have had unsuccessful results with traditional periodontal disease treatments. Although gum surgery can include several different techniques, the most commonly performed for advanced periodontal disease includes gum flap surgery. Before surgery begins, the doctor will adequately clean your teeth and numb your gums with a local anesthetic. This creates a sterilized environment and optimal comfort.
- Gum SurgeryWhile nonsurgical techniques, such as scaling and root planing, are effective for treating the early stages of periodontal disease, your Denver dentist may recommend gum surgery for advanced cases. Gum surgery is designed to prevent the infected tissue from spreading and causing further damage.
- Tooth ExtractionsWhen a tooth is severely damaged and unable to be repaired with conservative treatments, your Denver dentist may recommend a tooth extraction. Undergoing a tooth extraction in a timely manner is important to protect your oral health. When decay is left unaddressed, it can spread to surrounding teeth and gums and increase your risk for gum disease and other health issues.
- Bone Grafting
- OrthodonticsIf a bite disorder is the cause of your bruxism, the dentist may first recommend orthodontics to straighten your jaw. Depending on your circumstances, this could include Invisalign® or traditional braces.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsInvisalign®: This treatment provides patients a discreet and effective orthodontic solution. Invisalign® aligner trays are virtually invisible and can address mild to moderate dental misalignment. This includes correction of crooked and misaligned teeth. Aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day. They should only be removed for eating and drinking anything other than water. Treatment is ideal for adult patients desiring a straighter smile.
- Braces
- Teeth WhiteningTeeth Whitening: This treatment option is best for mild to moderate staining on the surface of the teeth. Bleaching agents and special lights or lasers are used to brighten the appearance of teeth. Professional, in-office treatments offer many advantages over what you can buy at a store. After treatment, your teeth will instantly look healthier and more attractive.
- Cosmetic DentistryCosmetic dentistry provides patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their smile the opportunity to dramatically transform it. This, in turn, boosts self-confidence.
