GENERAL DENTISTRY TREATMENTS

WHAT IS GENERAL DENTISTRY?

General dentistry focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral health issues. It is an important part of overall health and well-being for both adults and children, as oral health is often indicative of your overall health. At Woodbourne Dental, patients have access to a range of dental treatments and preventive care.

WHAT ARE DENTAL CHECK-UPS AND DENTAL CLEANINGS?

During a routine dental exam, your dentist will check for signs of decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. If any issues are found, your dentist will recommend a course of treatment, which may include fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, and extractions. Depending on the patient's needs, treatments can include periodic dental exams and cleanings, x-rays, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. These treatments are important to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. It is important to visit your dentist regularly. Regular dental cleanings and exams can help maintain your oral health, prevent cavities and gum disease, and detect any issues early. If any issues are found, your dentist can recommend a course of treatment to help restore your oral health and prevent further issues.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY

BRIDGES

Used to replace missing teeth, a dental bridge is a permanent fixture that is fixed to existing teeth to 'bridge the gap' created by a missing tooth.

DENTAL IMPLANTS

A dental implant is a small screw that is fixed to your jawbone to serve as the artificial root for crowns, bridges, or dentures.

EXTRACTION

Dental extraction is the complete removal of a tooth that is severely damaged or decayed. Typically only used when the tooth cannot be repaired.

NERVOUS PATIENTS

While dental treatments are typically pain-free, many people experience anxiety over dental visits. Our dentists will do their best to put you at ease.

CROWNS

A crown is a 'cover' made of metal or porcelain, placed over a damaged or weak tooth for protection and to enhance the appearance of the damaged tooth.

DENTAL HYGIENIST

A visit to a dental hygienist involves a teeth cleaning and mouth examination to prevent and treat oral diseases and tooth decay.

MISSING TEETH

Missing teeth are often replaced with dentures, bridges, or implants, to improve appearance and prevent further teeth movement.

ROOT CANAL

Abscessed teeth require endodontic treatment, which removes the inside of the tooth, threats the infected area, and seals the tooth to prevent future infection.

DENTAL CHECK-UP

Regular dental check-ups ensure a healthy mouth and prevent large issues form occurring. Your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth.

DENTURES

As an alternative to bridges and implants, missing teeth can be replaced with removable or permanent dentures. Partial and full dentures are available.

MOUTH GUARDS

Mouth guards are worn to protect teeth from wear due to teeth grinding and injury during sports. Mouth guards are tailored and fitted to ensure comfort.

TOOTH FILLINGS

Fillings are a very common procedure that repairs tooth decay and cracks with tooth colored composite that prevents further damage and decay.
