We are concerned about your dental care as well as your safety during your sedation experience. We offer all levels of sedation and do so with the same standard of safety and technology as our medical colleagues. For our patients with anxiety, fear, or those who simply do not want to remember their dental visit, sedation dentistry is the answer.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that we surgically embedded into the jawbone. The implant serves as the root component of a prosthetic tooth. Once the implant is in place, it will fuse to the bone during the process of osseointegration. Osseointegration allows the implant to support a restoration against the strongest forces of your bite. For this reason, dental implants are widely considered to be the next best thing to your natural teeth.
Losing teeth can affect our dental health and affect our great smile, especially when there are many. Thankfully, we can take advantage of dental prosthetics to replace our missing teeth and restore our oral functions. With implant supported dentures, we are combining the benefits of two different teeth replacement options for much more advantages
Tooth loss can happen for many reasons. You may lose teeth as a result of gum disease, or you may lose teeth because of a traumatic facial injury. No matter what causes your tooth loss, or how many teeth you lose, your whole life is affected. Dental implants are a popular treatment used to replace missing teeth. Typically, however, you wear temporary restorations until you heal, after which you receive your final dental restorations. At Dynamic Dental Care, we can eliminate the need for temporary teeth, providing you with your final restorations right after implant placement, with Teeth in an Day.
If you have obstructive sleep apnea, you may benefit from an oral appliance. An oral appliance will keep your jaw in the proper position during sleep. This opens your airway and improves your breathing during sleep. With an oral appliance, you may find yourself feeling more well-rested, alert and happy, thanks to a full night's sleep.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), allows us to move our joint forwards, backward, and side-to-side. Any problems that prevent us from using this joint properly are known as TMD or temporomandibular joint disorders. We provide some treatments designed to alleviate any pain or discomfort associated with the TMJ.
Dental implants have revolutionized tooth replacements, with one caveat: they require a significant amount of healthy bone. As periodontists, we here at Dynamic Dental Care specialize in implant treatment and other preliminary procedures. One such procedure, bone grafting, is often a necessary part of the journey towards a healthier smile.
Most of our mouths are imperfect in one way or another. In some cases, people are born with minor issues such as crooked teeth or a misaligned bite. In others, the problem can be caused by soft tissues like the frenum. At Dynamic Dental Care, we specialize in surgical and non-surgical procedures designed to improve your periodontal health. If you have impaired oral functions due to problems with your frenum, you may need a frenectomy.
A root canal is a last-ditch effort to save a tooth from extraction. We may recommend a root canal if an infection has spread to the "pulpy" center of the tooth that contains nerve endings and other connective tissues. Once the infection has been removed, we fill the canals with a rubber-like material known as gutta-percha. A tooth that has received root canal treatment typically needs to be capped with a crown.
Wisdom teeth typically erupt much later than other permanent teeth, which can cause problems for your oral health. At Dynamic Dental Care, we provide wisdom teeth extractions to prevent or alleviate these potential problems. The extraction of impacted wisdom teeth typically takes place during a single appointment.
Much like a bone graft, a gum graft can help regenerate crucial tissues. We may recommend a gum graft to address severe instances of gum recession. The type of gum graft you receive depends on the severity and location of the recession.
A smile makeover, as the name suggests, is the process of completely revamping the appearance of your smile. The types of procedures you receive depend on your situation.
A porcelain veneer is a razor-thin shell that is bonded to the front surface of a tooth. Like our dental crowns, our veneers are typically made from porcelain. Veneers can be used to fix teeth that are severely discolored, worn down, chipped or broken, misaligned, uneven, irregularly shaped, or even gapped. During the procedure, we have to remove a small amount of enamel to accommodate the thickness of the veneer. For this reason, the veneer procedure is considered irreversible.
Crooked teeth not only affect the aesthetics of your smile, but they can also be detrimental to your oral health. For instance, crowded teeth can be much more difficult to properly clean, leaving you at a greater risk for developing tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease. Luckily, people in need of orthodontic care have more options than ever before. We specialize in Invisalign® clear aligner treatment. Invisalign is designed for patients who want a discrete and effective alternative to traditional metal braces.
