General Dentistry
No matter your age, maintaining healthy teeth and gums is absolutely crucial. Strong, securely rooted teeth can be your best friend. Keeping your teeth in that healthy state requires frequent visits to our experienced dentist. Additionally, general dentistry includes the care and treatment of your mouth’s overall hygiene. This means that our general dentistry appointments will include a thorough evaluation of your teeth including digital X-rays, an evaluation of your gums and other dental tissues, an oral cancer screening, and a check for gingivitis.
General dentistry is the practice of keeping your teeth and mouth healthy and clean or restoring it to its original healthy and cleanliness if minor changes needs to occur. In order to achieve these minor changes, we may perform any of the following:
- Gum disease treatment– we will check your gums for signs of gingivitis or periodontitis and will evaluate how to treat this problem through rinses, oral care, or laser treatments
- Dental anxiety – if you have dental anxiety, we offer dental sedation options so you can have your treatments and care done without feeling any stress. In fact, you will feel as though you’re sleeping through your procedures.
Our commitment is to provide you with the outstanding dental work you need, all in a pleasant, comfortable environment.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Of course, your teeth aren’t just functional parts of your body – they serve a significant cosmetic purpose as well. Bright, natural looking teeth draw attention, and boost self-esteem and confidence, while damaged or unattractive teeth can cause embarrassment and make smiling or laughing uncomfortable.With cosmetic dentistry treatments, we can address teeth that don’t look the way they should or that are affecting your smile in a negative manner. This might include crooked teeth, stained teeth, missing teeth, or scenarios where your tooth-to-gum ratio isn’t correct. Dr. Phelps is a skilled prosthodontist and experienced cosmetic dentist. He offers a range of cosmetic procedures including:
- Dental Bridges- used to replace one or more missing teeth. They can be stand-alone or placed upon dental implants that make your dental bridge a permanent structure.
- Dental Crowns- digitally color-matched to the rest of your teeth so they blend in seamlessly with your smile. Dental crowns are used to cap existing teeth and keep them healthy so they don’t have to be removed.
- Dental Implants- a permanent solution to missing teeth, dental implants are placed within your jaw bone so you never have to worry about losing jaw bone structure. Then, after they’ve fused with your bone, a dental crown is placed atop the implant so it looks and functions like the rest of your real teeth.
- Gummy Smile Treatment- when your gums seem to take over your teeth, you may not like showing off your smile. With our laser gummy smile treatments, we can easily correct this ratio.Teeth Whitening- a solution for anyone looking for a whiter, brighter smile.
- Porcelain Veneers- a thin sheet of porcelain that is placed over chipped, cracked, misshapen, or stained teeth so they look just like the rest of the teeth in your smile.
