Smile Maintenance: The Importance of Routine Dentistry

Many patients wonder why they should visit with us twice a year. Even if you have good oral health and a comfortable smile, visiting the dentist is important for your health. It is likely that your routine visits to the dentist are the reason you have a healthy smile. Our team provides the following general dental services that keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Dental Exams and Professional Teeth Cleanings

A thorough exam and cleaning will spot any signs of a dental problem and remove plaque from all surfaces in the mouth. We screen for tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other oral health concerns. When they are found early, we can easily treat them using preventative dentistry. To learn more about preventive and general dental care, visit General dentistry.

Periodontal therapy

We help patients that have signs and symptoms of gum disease get the treatment that they need. We also provide custom care for patients that are at greater risk of gum disease but do not have any clear signs and symptoms. Periodontal therapy is the use of dental procedures (such as scaling and root planing) to maintain healthy teeth and gums. To learn more about treatments for periodontal disease, visit Periodontal therapy.

Root canals

Dr. Dechter and Dr. Moy provide convenient and quick care for root canal treatments. We use root canal treatments to save a damaged tooth from extraction. It involves removing the infected or decayed material from the inside of the tooth and replacing it. This procedure can repair severely damaged teeth that are still salvageable.

The goal of root canal treatment is to restore the function and look of the affected tooth, while also preventing further damage or infection. Dr. Dechter will perform an emergency root canal for new patients if necessary. To learn more about this endodontics treatment, visit Root canals.

Enhancing Smiles using Cosmetic Dentistry

If you are not happy with the look of your smile, we offer treatments to fix it. Cosmetic dentistry can enhance your smile offering subtle or dramatic results.

  • Teeth whitening: A quick and painless smile makeover can often be achieved through professional teeth whitening.
  • Tooth bonding: A conservative solution for minor concerns, tooth bonding will improve the health and appearance of your smile in one visit.
  • Porcelain veneers: For a more dramatic smile makeover or to address more complex concerns. Custom porcelain veneers will provide beautiful, lasting results.
  • Invisible braces: We offer the option of straightening teeth with invisible braces and clear aligners.

Dr. Dechter and Dr. Moy work one on one with patients seeking to make over their smiles. Your end result also supports your long term oral health.
