- Dental ExaminationRegular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays are all part of an effective prevention program. Other great preventive treatments include sealants and fluoride.
- X-raysDental x-rays  work by creating an image of the denser parts of your body, such as teeth and bone, revealing dental problems that may not be apparent to the naked eye. At Dr. Bart Kreiner’s office, we use digital radiography, which greatly reduces the amount of radiation a patient receives, to detect and treat various disorders, such as cavities, infections, misalignment and decay, in their early stages.
- Oral Cancer Screening
- Teeth Cleaning
- Fluoride Treatment
- Dental Sealants Any action taken by the patient, assisted by the dentist, hygienist, and office staff that serves to prevent dental or other diseases (i.e., sealants, cleanings and space maintainers).
- Space Maintainers A dental appliance that fills the space of a lost tooth or teeth and prevents the other teeth from moving into the space. Used especially in orthodontic and pediatric treatment.
- Fillings
- VeneersWe offer a variety of options when it comes to selecting a procedure that’s right for you. Tired of having brownish or yellow teeth? With our enhanced teeth whitening procedure, your teeth will be sure to look their best. Have your teeth been slanted or become crooked? With a set of porcelain veneers, you’ll be able to cover the damage and maintain the illusion of a perfect smile. The possibilities for a perfect smile are endless.
- CrownsIf you’re in need of new dental crowns in Bel Air, MD Dr. Kreiner is available right away. Have you been falling behind when it comes to taking care of your teeth? Without proper care, brushing, and flossing, our teeth can fall into a state of decay. Cavities in the teeth can be damaging if unchecked and left to accumulate. Likewise, teeth can be easily damaged or discolored. If you wish to have your tooth restored to its original size and shape, then dental crowns are the choice for you.
- BridgesLike many cosmetic dental procedures, placing bridges also serves a restorative purpose. A dental bridge will improve your ability to chew and speak as well as your smile. In a recent study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association, dental bridges were shown to dramatically reduce the risk of losing teeth that are adjacent to a missing tooth. In addition, dental bridges can help keep your jaw and face from changing shape, as they tend to do when a person has missing teeth.
- Dental Bonding
- Pulpotomy
- Root Canal TreatmentIn the past, teeth with diseased nerves have been removed from the mouth. However, through a root canal, most of the diseased tooth can be salvaged. In most cases, the root canal procedure is a simple treatment that involves little to no patient discomfort.
- Apicoectomy
- Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
- Periodontal Surgery
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesWhen people come to us for a visit, it’s usually for the traditional services – cleaning, teeth pulling, cavities, dentures, fixing broken teeth. However, there is another field of dentistry that sometimes has little to do with having a better smile – it’s called neuromuscular dentistry. Neuromuscular dentistry focuses on severe jaw misalignment problems and how they affect your teeth, nerves, and muscles. Specifically, these problems stem from TMD – Temporomandibular joint disorder – which also goes by the name TMJ syndrome.
- Dental ImplantsWhen a tooth must be extracted due to trauma, bone loss, or other reasons, implants can be placed into the bone if you are determined to be a good candidate.
- Oral SurgeryOral surgery can help in cases of facial trauma that result from accidents or facial genetic malformation of the jaw and face.
- Maxillofacial SurgeryOral and maxillofacial surgery is a specialty of dentistry concerned with the diagnosis and surgical treatment of congenital or acquired diseases, dysfunction, defects, or injuries of the mouth, jaws, face, neck, and associated regions.
- Osseous Surgery
- Tooth Extractions
- Orthodontics A condition in which the upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth when the jaw is closed. This condition can be corrected with orthodontics.
- Braces A specialized branch of dentistry that corrects malocclusion and restores the teeth to proper alignment and function. Several different types of appliances are used in orthodontics, one of which is commonly referred to as braces.
- Teeth WhiteningSome examples of when we use our laser are to remove small decay, perio procedures and bleaching. With the laser, anesthesia is not typically required and there are no post-op restrictions in most cases. Our patients love our lasers and in most cases, patients report they feel nothing.Â
