- Dental ExaminationHands down, it’s always better to prevent a problem from happening than it is to restore your oral health after a flare-up. Thankfully, you don’t have to wait on a challenge to arise before you take action. One of your means of protection is to visit us at Dental Dynamics on a regular basis to receive cleanings and examinations. Contact us today to schedule your first appointment with Dr. Davidson so you can experience excellent oral health for years to come!
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningDid you know that a whopping 25% of oral cancer cases actually occur in patients who don’t smoke, chew tobacco, or participate in any other known risk factors? This is why early intervention is so important, and a trusted general dentist like Dr. Davidson can actually be your first line of defense. He incorporates oral cancer screenings into every regular checkup, assessing the oral tissue carefully for strange lumps, sores, or other abnormalities that may indicate cancerous cells. If needed, a biopsy can be arranged to test suspicious areas more concretely.
- Teeth CleaningDr. Davidson strongly recommends that patients of all ages visit the dentist’s office at least twice each calendar year for ongoing preventive care. During these visits, our team will take the time to better understand your unique smile, comprehensively evaluating teeth, gum tissue, existing restorations like fillings, and much more so that any problems are caught right away. Additionally, a professional cleaning will get rid of plaque and tartar buildup, which reduces the risks of developing cavities and gum disease over time.
- Fluoride TreatmentFar too many cases of lifelong dental fear in patients start with negative experiences at a young age – that’s why the Dental Dynamics team works so hard to create a safe and inviting environment for your son or daughter! We’ll match our care approach to their current age and level of emotional maturity, taking extra time to be gentle and patient as needed. We can provide checkups, fun tips on brushing and flossing at home, refreshing fluoride treatment, and many other kid-friendly services.
- Dental SealantsDental sealants are typically recommended for younger patients who are still learning the ropes of good oral hygiene at home, although adults can benefit too in certain situations. The application process is very simple – we’ll paint a tough, plastic-based substance along the chewing surfaces of back teeth and harden it in place, effectively creating a barrier that helps prevent stray food debris from sticking. Our goal is to reduce each patient’s overall risk of cavities and keep their smile safer!
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeDo you have a small chip in your tooth enamel? Is there a thin gap between two teeth that catches your attention every time you look in the mirror? Even these relatively tiny imperfections can weigh on a person’s mind over time. Thankfully, there’s a quick and easy way to correct them with direct bonding. One of our dentists will apply tooth-colored composite resin to the area in question and sculpt it into place with an artistic flair, aiming to create a very subtle and attractive addition. In most cases, this procedure will only require one appointment of your time, which is ideal for busy patients.
- VeneersAre you among the two-thirds of adults who do not like how their teeth look? Whether genetics, poor oral hygiene, or trauma have left you with a less than perfect smile, you do not need to hide behind your flaws. Instead, your cosmetic dentist at Dental Dynamics can drastically transform your teeth using a minimally invasive solution. Porcelain veneers offer natural-looking results to achieve the smile of your dreams.
- CrownsEvery part of the natural tooth, not just the visible, white crown. Better yet, our proven team of experts can personally handle the entire treatment process right here in-office – no tedious referrals to separate specialty offices required. Contact us today to schedule your FREE consultation and start exploring ways to replace missing teeth that you definitely won’t regret!
- BridgesIf a patient has lost one or more teeth that used to appear next to each other, a custom-made dental bridge is a viable option. This style of restoration literally “bridges” the gap in question, relying on the support of two adjacent natural teeth as “anchors” that will keep the lifelike prosthetic securely in place. As a result, the patient is able to enjoy renewed biting strength and prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of place, which is a common concern following tooth loss.
