- Dental ExaminationThe first step in a smile makeover is a consultation with Dr. Striebel. During this appointment, he will ask you to identify the areas of your smile that you would like to improve. Next, he will perform a comprehensive oral exam to assess the state of your smile. Based on the information gathered during your consultation, Dr. Striebel can recommend the right combination of treatments to give you the smile you envision. Dr. Striebel strives to give his patients excellent results using the most conservative approach possible.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer Screening
- Teeth CleaningDr. Striebel’s first goal is to prevent the development of gum disease. For this reason, among others, he encourages patients to schedule cleanings and exams at least twice a year. That way, your hygienist can remove harmful bacteria before it affects your gums. Dr. Striebel can also look for the symptoms of gum disease, and he can treat the condition in its early stages.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeDental bonding can benefit patients who are looking to conceal cosmetic flaws in their teeth. Bonding is accomplished by applying a small amount of composite resin to the teeth, and can improve the appearance of chips, cracks, and discoloration. Dr. Striebel will color-match the composite bonding solution to your natural teeth for a seamless integration into your smile.
- VeneersYou’d be surprised to learn how many people you know have porcelain veneers. It’s one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures, because such amazing results can be achieved in a short timeframe. Porcelain veneers cover stains, chips, gaps, and create an overall more uniform appearance in just two or three visits. Dr. Striebel offers state-of-the-art treatments with porcelain veneers, including traditional veneers, minimal-prep veneers, and Lumineers.
- CrownsIf you have a damaged or aesthetically compromised tooth, a dental crown may be a great solution. Dr. John R. Striebel will attach a custom-designed crown directly on top of the tooth. The restoration can strengthen your tooth and improve the appearance of your smile. Dr. Striebel is committed to using the latest technology to improve your dental care. With the advent of CEREC® technology, he can place beautifully crafted dental crowns in one visit at our Miamisburg, OH, dental practice. He can also position them above the gum line, which will protect your periodontal health. Contact us today to learn more about our advanced tools and lifelike dental restorations.
- BridgesDr. Striebel places dental bridges made from porcelain or zirconia. Both types of bridges are fabricated to match the surrounding teeth. While both can look very realistic, zirconia is more durable, but generally costs more than porcelain. During your consultation, Dr. Striebel will help you decide which material is best for you.
- Dental BondingMinor cosmetic flaws such as small chips or cracks can be easily concealed with dental bonding performed by Dr. John R. Striebel in Miamisburg, OH. By artfully applying resin selected to match the shade of your teeth, Dr. Striebel can give your smile a beautiful appearance of health and symmetry in just one office visit.
- Restorative DentistryFull mouth reconstruction performed at our Miamisburg, OH, practice combines several restorative dentistry procedures to completely repair smiles in any state of compromise. Dr. John Striebel understands that suffering from a multitude of oral health issues can be very difficult and discouraging. You can depend on Dr. Striebel to help you regain the confidence, comfort, and excellent oral health you deserve.
- Root Canal TreatmentA root canal is a treatment that removes the infection from within a tooth, alleviates pain, and saves the tooth from extraction. Many people mistakenly associate the root canal with their discomfort, when in fact, the discomfort stems from the inflammation within the tooth. Drawing on years of experience, Dr. Striebel performs comfortable root canal therapy, often in a single visit.
- Deep CleaningFortunately, even if you do develop gum disease, our treatment can help to eradicate bacteria and reduce your risk for dental damage. Most often, Dr. Striebel will recommend scaling and root planing. During this process, your hygienist will remove the pockets of bacteria from around your dental roots. Topical antibiotics can help to eliminate microbes further. Your practitioner will also smooth your dental roots using gentle techniques. Rough patches can trap bacteria, leading to reinfection. During your deep cleaning, your gums will be numb, so you should feel little to nothing. Plus, your hygienist will use incredibly precise techniques to reduce the impact to your gums and to ensure a speedy recovery.
- DenturesAfter you start to lose your teeth, you can have problems. Your teeth and bones will start to shift, causing you to have trouble eating. This may also alter the look of your face. Because of this, dentures can be very helpful.
- Dental ImplantsDental implants are backed by over 30 years of research, and they have maintained a 98 percent success rate. However, dental implants are not right for every situation. Dr. Striebel will carefully examine your medical history and your oral health to determine your candidacy.
- Oral Surgery
- Tooth Extractions
- Bone GraftingA patient who has multiple oral health issues can generally be considered a good candidate for full mouth reconstruction. However, some conditions may preclude patients from certain procedures. For example, if you have been missing teeth for many years, you may have experienced some bone atrophy that may affect your candidacy for dental implants. In this case, a bone grafting procedure may be required first. Dr. Striebel will carefully evaluate the state of your smile using x-rays and other technology to determine the best approach to your full mouth reconstruction.
- OrthodonticsConvenience: The trays can be removed during brushing and eating, and for special occasions. Since the trays are removable, you can enjoy all of the foods that would typically be off-limits when undergoing treatment with traditional orthodontics.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsMisaligned teeth can greatly impact your appearance, oral health, and self-confidence. If you are interested in achieving a straighter, more attractive smile, without undergoing traditional metal orthodontic treatment, Dr. John Striebel can provide you with an effective alternative. Invisalign® is a clear, comfortable solution offered at our Miamisburg, OH, dental practice. To learn more about how this treatment can gently realign your teeth, schedule your appointment today.
- BracesThese will allow us to create 3D images of your teeth, and fabricate the customized aligner trays. This series of trays will be used throughout the course of your treatment. When worn, the aligners will gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. While the timeframe for each treatment varies, we have found that adults typically require about one year to achieve their desired results. Treatment time for teens is usually similar to that of traditional braces.
- Teeth WhiteningWe often associate a bright, white smile with health and vitality, even though natural tooth shades vary from person to person. Many people are born with yellow- tinged teeth, and others accumulate staining deposits as they age. With professional teeth whitening, Dr. Striebel can lighten the color of your teeth up to eight shades, so you can enjoy a sparkling, white smile that reflects your exuberant personality.
- Cosmetic DentistryIf you feel self-conscious about minor imperfections in your smile, but do not feel ready to commit to porcelain veneers, Dr. Striebel may recommend dental bonding. In general, virtually any patient with healthy teeth and gums can be a candidate for bonding. Any cavities or gum disease must be addressed before moving ahead with bonding or any other cosmetic dentistry procedure.
- General DentistryYes, of course. Dr. Striebel has over 20 years of experience treating patients of all ages. Our general dentistry services encompass treatments suitable for our youngest patients and our restorative dental solutions often benefit our senior patients. We understand that every individual has different needs and goals, and we will cater the treatment and the experience to best accommodate our patient – no matter his or her age.
