From tooth extraction to oral cancer screening, our comprehensive range of services includes additional services that prioritize your oral health and comfort. We employ advanced techniques like digital scanning and CT scans for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. Additionally, oral sedation is available to ensure a relaxed and anxiety-free experience during procedures.
During a tooth extraction, we begin by numbing the area with local anesthesia to ensure the patient’s comfort throughout the procedure. Using specialized instruments, we gently loosen the tooth from its socket and carefully remove it. In some cases, a surgical extraction may be required for impacted teeth or teeth with complex root structures.
After the tooth extraction, we may place a gauze pad over the extraction site to control bleeding and promote clot formation. Patients are provided with post-operative instructions for proper care and management of the extraction site to ensure optimal healing. Tooth extraction can alleviate pain and discomfort associated with problematic teeth and pave the way for restorative treatments to maintain oral health and function.
Before a tooth extraction, we assess the patient’s oral health and medical history to determine the best approach. Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring a comfortable experience for the patient during the procedure. Once numb, we use specialized instruments to gently loosen the tooth from its socket.
During the tooth extraction procedure, we carefully remove the tooth from its socket using forceps. In some cases, a surgical extraction may be necessary for impacted teeth or those with complex root structures. After the extraction, we may place a gauze pad over the extraction site to control bleeding and promote clot formation. Patients receive post-operative instructions for proper care and management of the extraction site to ensure optimal healing.
After tooth extraction, the bone surrounding the empty socket can begin to deteriorate over time, leading to loss of bone volume and density. Site preservation helps to counteract this process by providing support and stimulation for new bone growth. By preserving the bone at the extraction site, site preservation enhances the success and longevity of subsequent dental treatments.
Site preservation is typically performed immediately following tooth extraction to maximize its effectiveness. The bone graft material used in site preservation may be sourced from the patient’s own bone, a donor, or synthetic materials. Over time, the bone graft material integrates with the surrounding bone, promoting healing and regeneration of the jawbone. Patients interested in preserving their bone structure after tooth extraction should consult with their dentist to determine if site preservation is appropriate for their individual needs.
Before site preservation, we assess the extraction site and may take X-rays to evaluate bone density. Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area for the procedure. Once numb, we carefully remove the tooth and thoroughly clean the socket to prepare it for the bone graft material.
Site preservation begins with the removal of the damaged tooth and thorough cleaning of the extraction site. We then fill the socket with bone graft material, which may be sourced from the patient’s bone, a donor, or synthetic materials. This promotes healing and stimulates new bone growth to preserve the jawbone’s integrity.
Biopsy/oral cancer screening is a vital aspect of preventive dental care aimed at detecting signs of oral cancer early. During this procedure, we thoroughly examines the mouth, including the lips, gums, tongue, and throat, for any suspicious lesions, sores, or discolorations. Early detection of oral cancer increases the chances of successful treatment and improves patient outcomes. Additionally, our clinic offers a range of additional services to ensure comprehensive dental health, including regular check-ups, cleanings, and personalized treatment plans.
If any abnormalities are found during the oral cancer screening, a biopsy may be recommended. A biopsy involves removing a small sample of tissue from the suspicious area for further analysis. This sample is then sent to a laboratory for examination under a microscope to determine if cancerous cells are present. Biopsy/oral cancer screening is a painless and non-invasive procedure that plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health and overall well-being.
Regular oral cancer screenings are recommended, especially for individuals at higher risk, such as tobacco users, heavy drinkers, and those with a family history of oral cancer. By staying proactive with preventive dental care, including biopsy/oral cancer screening, patients can protect themselves against the devastating effects of oral cancer and ensure early detection and treatment if needed.
Digital scanning provides highly accurate and precise impressions, allowing dentists to create custom restorations with exceptional fit and aesthetics. The digital images captured during the scanning process can be instantly transmitted to a computer, where they can be manipulated and analyzed to design crowns, bridges, and other dental prosthetics with precision.
With digital scanning, patients can enjoy faster turnaround times for their dental restorations, as digital impressions can be sent directly to the dental laboratory for fabrication. Additionally, digital scanning enables dentists to track changes in the patient’s oral health over time by comparing digital scans taken during different appointments. Overall, digital scanning enhances the quality of periodontal care and improves the patient experience by providing accurate, efficient, and comfortable impressions.
During a CT dental scan, the patient sits or lies still while a cone-shaped X-ray beam rotates around the head, capturing multiple images from different angles. These images are then reconstructed into a 3D model of the patient’s mouth, providing detailed information about the anatomy and condition of the teeth, roots, bone, nerves, and sinuses.
CT dental scans are invaluable tools in various dental procedures, including dental implant placement, orthodontic treatment planning, TMJ evaluation, and diagnosing oral pathologies. With CT dental scans, we can visualize anatomical structures in three dimensions, allowing for more precise treatment and improved patient outcomes.
During oral sedation, patients remain conscious and able to respond to verbal commands, but they feel deeply relaxed and may experience drowsiness. The medication helps alleviate fear and discomfort, allowing patients to undergo dental treatment more comfortably. Oral sedation is administered under the guidance of a qualified dental professional who monitors the patient’s vital signs throughout the procedure.
Oral sedation is an excellent option for patients who experience dental anxiety or fear, as it provides a calming effect without the need for intravenous injections or general anesthesia. This method offers a convenient and non-invasive way to manage anxiety and promote a positive dental experience. Patients interested in oral sedation should consult with their dentist to determine if this option is suitable for their individual needs and medical history.
Are you hesitant to visit us due to anxiety or fear? Oral sedation could be the solution you’ve been searching for. This safe and effective technique involves taking medication in pill or liquid form to induce a state of relaxation during dental procedures. Whether you experience mild nerves or severe anxiety, oral sedation can help alleviate your fears and allow you to receive the periodontal care you need comfortably.
Oral sedation is particularly beneficial for individuals with dental phobia or those undergoing lengthy or complex treatments. By helping you feel deeply relaxed while remaining conscious and able to respond to verbal cues, oral sedation makes periodontal visits more manageable and less stressful. If you’re unsure whether oral sedation is right for you, consult with us to discuss your concerns and explore your options for anxiety-free dental care.
