- Dental ExaminationBrushing and flossing at home are a great first step toward preventing cavities and gum disease. However, not all bacteria can be removed through at-home care alone. Over time, these bacteria can form sticky and hard-to-remove plaque.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer Screening
- Teeth CleaningPlease alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.) or require medication prior to dental cleanings (i.e. antibiotics, for pre-med.)
- Fluoride TreatmentFluoride is a mineral that is naturally found in some water and many foods. While you receive a certain amount of fluoride from your diet and from using toothpaste with fluoride, we may recommend fluoride treatment to further strengthen your teeth and prevent cavities.
- Dental SealantsDisease care ”. That’s why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary. We also know that routine cleaning, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we’re also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeInlays and onlays are dental restorations that are used to repair damage or decay. If the damage is not extensive enough to warrant the use of a dental crown but is too serious to be repaired with a filling, our experienced dentist may recommend a dental inlay or onlay. Also known as partial crowns, inlays and onlays are custom created from porcelain, composite resin material or gold..
- VeneersDental veneers are very thin shells, typically made of porcelain or resin, that are bonded to the front of your teeth to enhance the beauty of your smile. Our dentist may recommend dental veneers to correct several types of smile imperfections. Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice for enhancing your smile because the color and translucency of porcelain is a great match for the natural appearance of tooth enamel. Porcelain is stain resistant as well, so your smile will stay bright for years to come. Resin veneers can also be matched to your natural tooth color. With dental veneers, you can achieve a beautiful, natural-looking smile that you will love to show off.
- CrownsWith the assistance of advanced technology, Dr. Riter offers same day crown & filling restorations. In the past, the patient would be fit with a temporary crown while a dental laboratory fabricated the final porcelain crown. With the use of Cerec technology we can digitally scan your mouth and make your crown the same day! Best of all, you receive the best quality restoration in a fraction of the time.
- BridgesWe will help you determine whether a custom dental bridge is the right choice for restoring your smile after tooth loss.
- Dental BondingDental bonding is a more affordable cosmetic treatment than porcelain veneers, and the procedure can accomplish many of the same goals. Dr. Riter uses composite resin matched to the shade of your natural teeth to make flaws disappear. This simple technique is an easy way to instantly improve the overall appearance of your smile.
- Root Canal TreatmentRoot canals – A bad toothache might be a sign that bacteria have reached the inner layers of the tooth. Root canals eliminate infection, relieve pain, and still leave much of your natural tooth intact.
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesDentures are removable oral appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth. If you are missing some or all of your teeth, dentures might be just what you need to restore the function, beauty and health of your smile. There are two kinds of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures.
- Dental ImplantsYour implant restoration is custom designed to give you a natural and long-lasting solution for your smile. Each restoration we create is designed to be both aesthetically pleasing and durable so that you can enjoy the results of your treatment for years to come.
- Oral Surgery
- Tooth ExtractionsWith proper at-home care and regular visits to the dentist, it’s very possible to keep all of your natural teeth healthy for a lifetime. But sometimes life has other plans. Serious decay, traumatic injury, or overcrowding may require a tooth extraction.
- Orthodontics
- Invisalign OrthodonticsThe completed scan is available as a 3D model that Dr. Riter can use to begin planning your treatment and to create supplemental orthodontic appliances or Invisalign aligners.
- BracesPeople of all ages are choosing to improve the alignment of their smiles.
