A family dentist is like a one-stop-shop for all of your family's dental needs. These professionals can handle every family member's needs, making it easier to keep up with all of their appointments. A family dentist provides a wide range of services, from preventative to restorative treatments.
Here are some of the popular treatments our family dentist performs:
These treatments are used to whiten teeth. The process involves using bleaching agents to lift stains off the outer and inner layers of teeth. Whitening treatments performed by dentists are significantly more effective than other options like over-the-counter whitening products. A whitening session performed in-office improves the whiteness of a person's teeth by over eight shades.
Root canal treatments are performed when damage to a tooth leaves its pulp chamber exposed or when a tooth is infected. The pulp chamber is the sealed-off inner layer of a tooth that contains its nerve and blood vessels. During a root canal, these soft tissues are removed and the area is sealed. Teeth that have been treated with root canals are often covered with crowns.
This is a type of preventive treatment that dentists recommend getting at least twice a year. During teeth cleaning, the dentist uses a scaler to remove tartar from teeth surfaces. Tartar houses bacteria that create acids that damage teeth. It can get below the gum line, leading to gum disease. Teeth cleaning helps to protect teeth against tooth decay and gum disease. It also improves their appearance since tartar gives teeth a yellow color.
These restorations are used to seal holes created by tooth decay, called cavities. Fillings have a putty-like constituency when applied, but they harden when exposed to air or saliva. Composite resin fillings need to be hardened with a curing light and they provide the best aesthetics.
These are an economical way to replace missing teeth, particularly when you have lost most of your real teeth. These restorations are held in place on the gums via suction and they come with artificial teeth that replace the missing ones. There are partial denture sets for those who have only lost a few teeth and full denture sets for those who have lost most of their teeth.
These are one of the most used restorations in dentistry. They cover the visible part of a tooth and they protect it against a variety of things like bite forces and acids. Crowns can be used to fix a range of oral issues like advanced tooth decay and broken teeth. Getting a crown often requires two dental appointments.
Family dentists can fit patients with orthodontic devices that improve the alignment of their teeth. Appliances like traditional metal braces and clear aligners have been proven to be effective ways to straighten teeth.
