Going to the dentist is something that not many people look forward to. However, for oral health and possibly for your appearance, it is something that you should do regularly. 

In the United States, about 65% of adults go to the dentist in a calendar year.

What can our dental group do for you? This is a list of dental services offered by us. 

List of Dental Services Offered

Adults go to the dentist for a variety of reasons. Some may just need a cleaning, while others may need a serious procedure done. Below, we are going to talk about some of the most common services that people receive from our dentists. 

General Dentistry 

Arguably the easiest thing to receive from our dental group is general dentistry needs. These are typically just routine cleanings and a check-up from the dentist. 

It is recommended that you go to the dentist once or twice per year for a routine appointment. 

What do you get out of this? You can get a deep cleaning for your teeth compared to your ordinary cleaning habits. This is possible because we have experts who know exactly what we need and have more resources available for this than you would at home. 

On top of this, you are also likely to get a check-up from the dentist. The purpose of this is just to check and make sure that you do not have any lingering problems going on with your teeth. 

A dentist could check your gums, check if there is any plaque, check for cavities, and check to see if there are any cracked teeth. Getting a routine check-up can help you stay on top of these problems and catch these problems sooner rather than later. 

For other problems, such as an overbite or grinding your teeth, your dentist may provide you with a nightguard after going through a routine check-up. 

Cosmetic Dentistry 

Another service that people tend to use from our dentists is cosmetic dentistry. This type of dental work revolves around someone's appearance. This could be used to improve someone's smile or improve how certain teeth look. 

One of the most common options that people choose here is veneers. The reason for this is that it can help people cover up minor cosmetic flaws. It works to protect damaged surfaces that come from things such as a crack. 

If you want a cheaper alternative to veneers, you do have the option to go with bonding. 

Then, you have the option to get a step ahead of potential tooth decay by getting sealants. What this does is it helps protect your teeth from potential cavities. It also protects your teeth from the permanent damage that might come from tooth decay. 

The best part about this is how long it lasts. If done right, a sealant can last for up to a decade. 

For a more simple procedure, some people may elect to do teeth whitening. This is simple because the whole point of it is to make your teeth look better. 

Some people may be insecure about their smile or do not like the current color of their teeth. Whitening your teeth can make them look new and make you feel like a movie star. 

Restorative Dentistry 

If you have more serious tooth damage, you are likely going to need restorative dentistry. What this does is help fix damage you already have with your teeth and it can help prevent further damage to that part of your mouth. 

The first option you have for this is getting a bridge. What this will do is help connect your replacement teeth with the existing teeth that you already have.

This can get a bit complicated because there is a temporary bridge and a permanent bridge. You would wear the temporary bridge for two weeks and then receive the permanent bridge after that. 

You can also go the full mile and get yourself a pair of dentures. For those who have a lot of missing teeth or a lot of damaged teeth, this could be the best option for keeping some stability in your mouth. 

If you have a cracked tooth, one of the best options to fix this problem is to get yourself a crown. What this does is protect your damaged tooth from getting damaged even further. 

Think of this like having a shield from the outside world over your tooth. This procedure allows you to have this crown placed on top of your damaged tooth. 

Finally, you have root canals. This is arguably the most serious procedure of the bunch. It may take several days to recover from this but it is worthwhile to get this procedure sooner rather than later. 

A root canal procedure is necessary when a tooth is so heavily damaged that it even impacts the root. Getting this procedure can help prevent neighboring teeth from suffering that kind of damage. 

Emergency Services

Finally, our dental group offers our patients emergency services. This may come up if you need an immediate procedure that could potentially save your oral health. 

Let's say that you take a very bad fall that damages your entire jawline. You have a lot of teeth that you risk losing in this situation, along with a severe amount of pain. 

In this situation, you are going to want to see a dentist as soon as possible. Luckily, the emergency dental care that we offer makes this possible.
