Cleaning and Exams
It is crucial to get your teeth cleaned at least twice a year to identify any dental issues, ensure that plaque and tartar are not allowed to build up, and lessen your risk of cavities. The first time you come in, we will take x-rays of your mouth and perform basic cleaning. The dentist will then examine your mouth for any other factors that might be impacting your oral health. From there, we will craft an individualized plan to keep your smile looking its absolute best! From there on, every time you come in, we will build upon this plan. We will also screen you for oral cancer and periodontal disease and closely examine your teeth and gums to ensure no abnormalities. Contact us today to get your teeth looking their absolute best.
Fillings
Fillings are used to restore and strengthen teeth that require unique solutions. Whether your teeth are worn or chipped to teeth that are decaying or dead, fillings are the answer. They can change the size, color, and shape of your teeth, as well as protect them from further damage. They are commonly used to fill in cavities, but they have many advantages beyond that application. Fillings can do a tremendous amount of overall good to the look and health of your smile. Our fillings are not only tooth-colored but are customized for your specific teeth. Let us help you restore your confidence and improve your smile today with tooth-colored fillings from Elrod & Dunham Dentistry.
Tooth Extractions
Here at Elrod & Dunham Dentistry, we have several resources for restoring and strengthening teeth. However, sometimes a tooth will have to come out. Perhaps it is too far gone in terms of decay, or one of your wisdom teeth has become impacted or is growing crooked. We will never remove a tooth if there are other viable or less invasive options available. However, should you require tooth removal, we will perform your procedure gently, with the utmost care. Getting a tooth extracted can be a stressful process, and we will do everything we can to minimize your anxiety and help you through the process. Contact us today to learn more about our tooth extraction procedures.
Root Canal
If one of your teeth becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, that can have a dramatic impact on your life. It can lead to a great deal of pain, especially while eating. Fortunately, root canal treatment may be an excellent option. It becomes necessary when tooth damage or decay reaches the interior of your tooth, where the nerves, tissue, and pulp reside. At this stage, it is important to contact our office immediately to schedule an appointment. Our dental team will remove the infection from the inside of your tooth, clean it and seal. If you’re living with pain, don’t delay a moment longer, call us now!
