We're convinced that there are three primary ways to make our patients smile. First, we make sure we provide thorough, comprehensive dental care including a full array of preventive and restorative services. Second, we make sure we provide adequate instruction to help our patients care for their teeth properly at home, and make wise dental decisions as needed. And third, we make available a variety of cosmetic services so that our patients can make any desired enhancements to their appearance, giving new life to their smiles. Below is a list of our services:
Preventive and Periodontal Care Good preventive care can save you from many oral health problems now and in the future. We will give you a thorough examination (including oral cancer screening) at each checkup, and work with you to make sure that you understand the best way to take care of your teeth and gums.
Our hygienists are highly skilled and trained at gathering important information to help Dr. Nguyen in diagnosing periodontal disease. We offer non-surgical periodontal treatment to patients with moderate periodontal disease. We believe that prevention of disease is by far superior to the elimination of disease.
Our hygienists also provide conventional hygiene, dental sealants, patient education, fluoride treatments, counseling in preventive techniques and many other services.
Periodontal or gum disease has been linked to a variety of health problems, including heart disease and stroke. We provide every patient with a periodontal screening at each visit.
Restorative and Cosmetic Services Restorative treatments should leave your teeth looking natural and feeling good. When you have a problem such as a cavity, we will restore your teeth leaving as much of your original tooth as possible.
Implants An implant is a special surgical grade titanium post, manufactured to highly precise specifications, under strict sterile conditions, that is inserted surgically into the jawbone below the gum surface. With proper use of the newest anesthetics and medications you need not be concerned about pain. As the bone bonds to the post, it forms a secure foundation onto which your new teeth are then attached and shaped to match your mouth. The number of teeth being replaced will determine the best kind of restoration for you. Implants can help replace a single tooth or a full set of teeth. If you have been suffering with partial or full dentures or are missing teeth or feel you need teeth extracted, do not hesitate to call to be evaluated for implants.
Crown and Bridges If you're self-conscious about your smile due to cracked, broken, decayed or worn teeth, we can bring back your healthy, natural looking smile with crowns. A filling can restore a small defect in a tooth, but a crown is the most durable way to restore a tooth with extensive damage for the long term. With all the materials and techniques modern dentistry has to offer, crowns can be totally natural looking.
Additional benefits of crowns include correcting bite problems, closing spaces between teeth, changing the angulations of teeth, and they can be used to replace missing teeth permanently, as part of a bridge, or over an implant.
A bridge, also known as a pontic, is fused between two porcelain crowns to fill the gaps left by the original missing tooth. The new tooth is then anchored to the two porcelain crowns, renewing your once damaged smile.
Cosmetic Services Cosmetic dentistry can change your life by giving you a wonderful new smile. What works for one person, however, may not be appropriate for another. Dr. Nguyen will give you customized suggestions for enhancement, based on what you have told us you want, and upon what looks best for the shape of your face and mouth. Because we listen to you carefully, you achieve the look that you truly want. We offer the following:
Tooth Colored Composite Filings
