- Dental ExaminationTo get your child ready for their first appointment, we suggest that parents try to make their twice-daily oral care routines positive and fun. You can take turns “playing dentist” with your child and walk them through what happens during a routine cleaning and exam. Playing with toy dental tools can make them seem less foreign and scary, or using items around the house and pretending they’re dental tools in a safe way can help make dentistry seem more familiar to your child.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningEvery biannual exam includes a visual oral cancer screening process, where your dentist will examine your gums and around the mouth for any visible signs of oral cancer. In addition to this complimentary service, we also offer Velscope oral cancer screening. We recommend this service to everyone, but especially to patients who are at a higher risk of being diagnosed with oral cancer, like people who regularly use tobacco products, alcohol, and are over 45 years old.
- Teeth CleaningIt should be noted that infections and tooth decay do not always have noticeable symptoms. This is why maintaining routine check-ups and dental cleanings is important. X-rays will reveal if an infection is present and the extent of it.
- Fluoride TreatmentOur team loves working with kids and adults alike. One of the best parts about working with children is teaching them that going to the dentist can be fun, which in turn makes them much more likely to continue creating positive dental hygiene habits in the future. We offer a wide range of pediatric dentistry services from routine cleanings and exams to dental sealants and fluoride treatments. Want to stay with your child while they’re being treated? Come on back! We always want children and their parents to feel comfortable and at-ease in our office.

- VeneersFor a total smile makeover, porcelain veneers are your best bet! Veneers can totally alter the appearance of your smile by changing the color, size, and shape of each tooth to hand-craft the smile of your dreams. After going over the treatment plan and showing you digital smile preview images, our team will create a model that looks precisely how you want your new teeth to look. Then we will send the model to a lab where a dental technician will create the veneers out of biocompatible, long-lasting, tooth-colored materials that will look and feel natural in your mouth after a few adjustments. Once placed, veneers are designed to last for many, many years.
- CrownsSometimes a tooth that has been affected by extensive damage needs a crown placed on top of it to restore its strength and natural-looking appearance. In the past, getting a crown used to require multiple trips to the dentist and waiting for an off-site lab to create it. With our CEREC
- BridgesMultiple Tooth Replacements – The implants are placed securely in the jaw, creating a “fixed bridge” that connects to a series of crowns known as a “stable bridge.”
- Dental Bonding
- Restorative DentistryOur restorative treatments use the latest dental technology to restore or replace damaged or missing teeth. While consistent dental care and routine visits are the best way to avoid restorative services, sometimes accidents or dental issues aren’t treated promptly enough and require intervention. Our full range of restorative dentistry services below can help you achieve optimal oral health!
- Root Canal TreatmentIf you have a tooth that’s been feeling an inordinate amount of pain or sensitivity, you may need a root canal treatment. While root canals have a reputation for being very painful, many patients say that the procedure is far less painful and uncomfortable than the infection itself. After removing the infected pulp, your pain will finally be relieved and your tooth should not need to be extracted.
- Deep CleaningMagnification loupes are special magnification glasses that surgeons and other doctors use to magnify small details. Some advanced dental work requires our team to be accurate to a fraction of a millimeter, so having the ability to magnify a patients’ teeth and gums helps us work with incredible precision and accuracy. We can also adjust the degree of magnification depending on the type of procedure, whether it’s a deep cleaning or something even more involved like a root canal.
- DenturesFull Arch Replacements – Often referred to as “full mouth restorations,” a full arch replacement is a stable and functional alternative to removable dentures for patients who are missing several or all of their teeth.
- Dental ImplantsA dental implant is a small titanium post that essentially serves as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth. The biocompatible properties of titanium allow the implant to fuse with the jawbone and become a solid anchor for an artificial tooth. Dental implants work well for replacing one real tooth or several missing teeth.
- Orthodontics
- BracesIf you have been thinking about pursuing orthodontic treatment for yourself or your child, Dental Solutions of Avon offers traditional braces that can quickly and efficiently straighten misaligned teeth. Traditional braces are what most people imagine when they think of braces: metal brackets that are placed on the teeth and connected by a wire. However, the clunky, uncomfortable braces that were used many years ago have been replaced with sleek metal braces that are less noticeable, less painful, and have a shorter average treatment time.
- Teeth WhiteningKöR whitening combines the high-quality results of an in-office treatment with the convenience of at-home maintenance to give you a stunning, bright white smile.
