CLEANINGS
A cleaning appointment may begin with x-rays, so that the dentist can get a full picture of your oral health. To clean the teeth, your hygienist will use advanced technology to remove hardened deposits and stains that regular brushing cannot. A thorough examination by the dentist will follow the cleaning to ensure we keep you on the right path to a healthy smile. Our patients are important to us at North Main Dental, so your comfort level is our utmost priority.
FILLINGS
When a cavity is present, the integrity and life of the tooth is in danger as it is being dissolved by bacteria from the inside out. To heal the tooth, the decay is cleaned out and filled with a composite resin material that hardens into the same color as your original tooth. These “tooth-colored” fillings are long lasting and can be done for cosmetic reasons as well.
IMPLANT PLACEMENT
Dental implants are the closest replacement you can get to a healthy, natural tooth. Described as an artificial tooth root, implants are the leading solution to replace a single missing tooth or even multiple teeth. Once placed, implants will heal within your natural bone providing a foundation for your new tooth or teeth. Implants can also attach to your denture to increase stability if you have ever had trouble with it slipping or shifting in your mouth. From placement to restoration, look no further than North Main Dental for your implant needs.
DENTAL IMPLANT RESTORATIONS
Once healed following implant placement, crowns are made at our office using same-day dental technology or by a lab technician. Similar to crowning a tooth, implant crowns are made from porcelain and closely resemble your natural teeth. They are either cemented or screwed into the existing implant. We customize the crown to fit your specific implant allowing for a strong, beautiful, and natural result.
PORCELAIN DENTAL VENEERS
A porcelain veneer is an ultra-thin shell made of ceramic porcelain that can cover the front of your natural teeth hiding all the imperfections you worry about. They are beautifully crafted by our technicians or a skilled dental lab and then artistically placed by our dentists. Porcelain veneers are an excellent option to hide tooth discoloration caused by staining and/or decay. They can also be used to hide chipped, cracked, or crooked teeth. With our “same day” Cerec technology, sometimes veneers can be made without altering your existing tooth. North Main Dental can help you transform your smile using porcelain veneers.
CEREC SAME-DAY CROWNS
CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. Basically, this means that North Main Dental can provide you with a beautiful permanent crown in just one single visit to our office! With our computer aided technology, we are able to help you avoid wearing a temporary crown for weeks before the permanent is seated onto the tooth. We also can avoid taking impressions because the design process involves a special camera that takes 3D images of your teeth. CEREC crowns have been well researched and perfected over the last three decades. Our dentists are able to design porcelain crowns that match the exact size, shape, and form of our patient’s natural teeth. This allows us to customize our crowns to each individual increasing your ability to clean around the tooth, and also maximize esthetics. You are able to leave our office in one single visit knowing the crown is permanently in place and is made exactly for you.
CBCT (3D) IMAGING
This type of dental x-ray imaging is used in addition to routine dental x-rays to produce three-dimensional images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerves, and bone. CBCT imaging has lower radiation exposure than medical CT imaging and is approximately the same as one full mouth series of dental radiographs. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) allows the dentist to visualize important aspects of your anatomy that regular imaging does not. It increases our dentist’s ability to diagnose pathological conditions even before seen on regular x-rays. It is commonly used in root canal therapy, orthodontics, TMJ, to aid in implant placement, and in the overall treatment planning process.
DIGITAL X-RAYS
Digital x-rays utilize an electronic sensor instead of traditional X-ray film to capture x-ray images. It reduces patient radiation exposure by 90 percent compared to the already low exposure of traditional dental x-rays. Consider a full mouth digital radiographic series of images is less exposure than one average day of sunlight exposure! These images are very important for the dentist to be able to diagnose and treat decay, bone infections, gum disease, abscesses or cysts, and numerous other pathological conditions that cannot be detected by visual exam alone. North Main Dental will only utilize such x-rays when absolutely necessary and follows the guidelines set forth by the American Dental Association.
