Our Dental Services
We want to be your one-stop shop for dental services. This means we offer various general, cosmetic, and restorative dental treatments.
General Dentistry
Maintaining healthy teeth and gums is crucial for your overall health. Our general dentistry services cover various essential treatments designed to keep your mouth in optimal condition. Regular check-ups and preventative care are significant in maintaining a healthy smile and preventing future dental issues.
- Dental Cleanings and Exams: Regular check-ups help prevent cavities and gum disease. Our thorough cleanings remove plaque and tartar to keep your teeth healthy. Our skilled hygienists will also provide personalized advice on maintaining oral health at home during these visits.
- Fillings and Sealants: We use high-quality materials to fill cavities and protect teeth from further decay. Sealants are another preventive measure we offer, particularly for children, to provide an extra layer of protection against cavities in hard-to-reach areas.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services are designed to enhance the appearance of your smile. Whether you want to brighten your teeth or correct minor imperfections, we offer personalized solutions to meet your aesthetic needs. A beautiful smile can boost your confidence and improve your quality of life.
- Teeth Whitening: Brighten your smile with our safe and effective whitening treatments. We offer both in-office and take-home options to suit your lifestyle. Our professional-grade whitening systems can significantly lighten the shade of your teeth, giving you a more radiant smile.
- Veneers and Bonding: Improve the shape and color of your teeth. Veneers can cover imperfections such as stains, chips, or gaps, while bonding uses a tooth-colored resin for repairs. These treatments can provide dramatic results and are customized to match your natural teeth.
Restorative Dentistry
If you have damaged or missing teeth, our restorative services can help. We use advanced techniques and materials to restore your smile and improve oral function. Our goal is to provide long-lasting solutions that look and feel natural.
- Crowns and Bridges: Crowns cover damaged or weakened teeth, providing strength and protection. Bridges replace missing teeth with a natural-looking alternative anchored to adjacent teeth. Both options restore the appearance and functionality of your smile.
- Implants and Dentures: Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that integrates with your jawbone and a crown that mimics the appearance of a natural tooth. We also offer partial and full dentures, custom-made to fit comfortably and restore your ability to chew and speak properly.
All-On-Four
All-on-four is a popular implant procedure that replaces an entire arch of teeth with as few as four dental implants. This allows patients to get all of the benefits of implants without the high cost of replacing every single tooth with an individual implant. Traditional dentures are removable and utilize suction and adhesive to stay in your mouth. All-on-four dentures lock in and stay in your mouth. You don’t have to remove them overnight.
Dental implants are a permanent solution that stays in your mouth. They have an incredibly low failure rate, and most patients keep them for their lifetime with no issues. The actual denture restoration may need to be replaced in around 10-15 years to ensure that it has the same quality and functionality. This easy process involves creating a new denture and switching it out with your old one.
Implants are the best solution for replacing missing teeth. The implant posts in your jaw prevent bone deterioration and can help spur bone regeneration. This gives them unmatched stability and allows patients to eat foods without dietary restrictions. They also eliminate the sagging look that happens when you’re missing teeth. The facial muscles don’t have any support, so your skin starts to sag, aging your appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have answers to some of the most commonly asked questions patients have about our dental services.
How do I know if I’m a good candidate for the All-on-Four procedure?
You may be a good candidate if you’ve lost most or all of your teeth in one arch and have enough bone to support four strategically placed implants. It’s also ideal if you want a fixed, non-removable solution that looks and functions like natural teeth. A detailed exam with X-rays or a 3D scan is needed to confirm your bone quality and oral health. Dr. Robin Chanen will also review your overall health to ensure you’re a safe candidate for surgery.
When is a dental bridge a better option than a dental implant?
A bridge may be better if you’re missing one or two adjacent teeth and the surrounding teeth are healthy enough to support crowns. It’s also faster and less invasive than an implant, making it ideal if you can’t undergo surgery or don’t have enough bone. In some cases, a bridge is chosen due to cost or health limitations. Dr. Chanen will help you weigh the pros and cons based on your situation.
What types of dental sealants do you offer for children or adults?
Most offices offer clear or white resin-based sealants, which are applied to the grooves of molars to block out bacteria and food. For children, these are often placed as soon as permanent molars erupt. Some practices also offer sealants for adults with a higher risk of decay or deep grooves in their teeth. The application is quick, painless, and typically lasts several years with proper care.
Are your teeth whitening treatments safe for patients with sensitive teeth?
Yes, professional whitening can be safely customized for patients with sensitive teeth. We may use a lower-concentration gel or apply desensitizing agents before and after treatment. Take-home kits from the office can also offer more gradual results with less sensitivity. It’s best to discuss your specific concerns with our office before starting treatment.
Can veneers be used to fix small gaps between front teeth?
Yes, porcelain veneers are an excellent option for closing small gaps between front teeth. They’re bonded to the surface of your teeth and can be shaped to create a natural, even look. Veneers provide both cosmetic improvements and added durability. We will check your bite and spacing to ensure veneers are the right solution.
How long does dental bonding last, and is it stain-resistant?
Dental bonding usually lasts 3 to 7 years, depending on your oral habits and the repair size. While durable, it’s more prone to staining than porcelain veneers or crowns. Avoiding coffee, tea, and smoking can help keep bonded areas looking their best. Dr. Chanen can polish or touch up the bonding if discoloration develops.
Will I need a bone graft before getting dental implants?
You might need a bone graft if your jawbone has thinned or shrunk in the area where the implant will go. This is common if the tooth has been missing for a long time or after certain types of trauma or disease. A 3D scan or X-ray will show if you have enough bone to support an implant. We will discuss options like grafting if additional support is needed.
