- Dental ExaminationWe know most kids hate going to the dentist. At Smiles @ Southcenter, we only hire dental technicians who have had special training working with kids. Your child will be amazed by how fun and easy a dental exam can be! Many of our patients have been coming to our practice for years because we keep everyone in the family’s teeth healthy and strong. We provide a selection of toys and prizes at the end of every child’s appointment as a way of saying “Thanks for coming in!” Walk-ins are always welcome, so stop by our office today.
- X-raysBefore your cleaning is complete, one of our dentists will carefully examine your teeth and gums to make sure that they are healthy. We will also check for any signs of periodontal disease, oral cancer, and tooth misalignment issues. If you haven’t had dental X-rays taken in a while, we may recommend that you have them done.
- Teeth CleaningMost dental insurances will cover up to 2 annual teeth cleanings per year. For patients without dental insurance, we offer convenient and affordable dental membership plans.
- Fluoride Treatment
- Space MaintainersIf a baby tooth is lost prematurely, a space maintainer is used to keep the space open until the permanent tooth erupts. A band is attached to the tooth next to the empty space, and a wire is extended to the tooth on the other side of the space.
- FillingsToday, bonding also is used as a cosmetic and biocompatible alternative to amalgam fillings, or to protect a portion of the tooth’s root that has been exposed when gums recede
- Resin CompositeDental research has resulted in the development of tooth-colored filling materials that are not only durable and long-lasting, but attractive as well. Composite resins provide an attractive, natural look while at the same time restoring strength and durability to your tooth.
- VeneersDental veneers are a fantastic option if you want to easily whiten your smile, fix minor cosmetic problems, or replace damaged enamel.
- CrownsWhile modern dentistry has a lot to offer to improve a person’s smile, a lot of times restorative treatments like dental crowns can look like obvious dentistry.
- BridgesWhen a single tooth is missing, a bridge can be a good alternate choice for replacing it. In a bridge, crowns are placed on each tooth on either side of the space. An artificial tooth is connected to the crowns to replace the missing tooth. Dental bridges are a functional, attractive solution for missing teeth. They can be made from gold, porcelain, or porcelain fused to metal.
- Dental BondingAt Smiles at Southcenter, we offer a state-of-the-art facility combined with a knowledgeable and caring dental team experienced in dental bonding. With convenient hours, including Saturdays, we make sure you can schedule an appointment when it’s convenient for you.
- Root Canal TreatmentRoot canal treatment sounds like an intimidating procedure, but the process is straightforward and the consequences of avoiding the proper treatment are likely to cause far more pain and damage to your oral health.
- Periodontal SurgeryIn addition to providing general, preventive, and cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Miller is IV sedation certified and brings added services to our practice including wisdom teeth removal, implant placement, periodontal surgery and sedation dentistry.
- Deep CleaningThe treatment involves a combination of scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), new homecare techniques, and frequent dental cleanings and recare appointments. In more severe cases, treatment could also include medication or surgery.
- DenturesThere comes a time in many people’s lives when dentures become the preferred option for restoring their smile. Dentures can give you a new sense of self-confidence, and bring major improvements to your health, both mentally and physically. You deserve the best out of life. Why wait another day to smile with confidence?
- OverdenturesFrom the outside an overdenture looks just like a regular denture. However, with an overdenture, anchors (either natural teeth retained under the denture, or implants) provide support to hold the denture in place.
- Dental ImplantsWhen you lose teeth it not only changes the way you look but it can keep you from eating your favorite foods and smiling with confidence. Many people are turning to a more stable, natural-looking way to replace missing teeth with dental implants.
- Oral SurgeryIV sedation is available for virtually any procedure you might need to undergo at your dentist’s office, from oral surgery to routine examinations and cleanings. Sedation is safe for most patients, but your dentist will check your medical history and any medications you’re currently taking to make sure that it’s the right choice for you.
- Tooth ExtractionsThe team at Smiles @ Southcenter has handled thousands of wisdom teeth extractions and general tooth extractions. We have the right equipment, anesthesia, and experience to make the process painless and keep your mouth healthy and you comfortable. Please contact our office to schedule an exam and X-rays, which our dentists will use to determine if the wisdom teeth are growing in properly through your gums or need to be extracted. We can also assess if a permanent tooth needs extracted due to decay, infection or mouth crowding.
- Bone GraftingOther times, surgical procedures, such as root amputation can be a viable option for removing an infected or damaged tooth root. In some cases of severe periodontal disease, bone grafting, along with other treatments, may save a tooth that is infected and loose.
- OrthodonticsMost people aren’t born with straight teeth, but thanks to orthodontics anyone can have straight teeth. Crooked, overlapping teeth, and poorly positioned bites open the door to a future of dental problems. Straight teeth not only look better, they function better, last longer, and can reduce the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsWe are pleased to offer the Invisalign system for straightening your smile. This system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth. The aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without anyone knowing, and since they are removable you can eat and drink what you like during treatment; you can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene.
- BracesIt’s time to show off your smile. Get a beautiful straight smile invisibly without metal braces. With ClearCorrect you can straighten your teeth without people even noticing. Plus, since the aligners are easy to remove there are no wires to trap food or get in the way when you floss.
- Teeth WhiteningFew things make a better first impression or instill more self-confidence than a bright, white smile. Smiles@Southcenter offers two forms of teeth whitening: Zoom2! and Opalescence Tre’s White Supreme. In either case, the results are a brighter, whiter smile that is easy to maintain with a little care.
- Cosmetic DentistryLoving your smile means feeling more confident throughout your everyday life. Cosmetic dentistry can help you transform your smile into one you’ll love to share with the world.
