Dental Cleaning and Exam
Even with the best brushing habits, you can still benefit from a professional cleaning. Exams are just as necessary, since they can alert us of minor problems before they become severe so that treatment is both easier and more effective. Cleanings help to prevent gum disease and tooth decay when done regularly. It's never too late to start taking better care of your smile with routine preventative treatment.
Dental Fillings
A dental filling is a restoration that is specifically used to fill in an area of one or more teeth that have become decayed. Dental decay, known as a cavity, can infiltrate a tooth and cause it to become weak.
Emergency Dentist
Unless you’re in great pain, a loose bridge is generally not considered an emergency situation. But you should make a dental appointment with Dr. Chen as soon as possible because the situation will only get worse.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is designed to protect and strengthen a person's teeth, making them less prone to developing cavities. It is most commonly found in dental products, like toothpastes and mouthwashes.
Mouth Guards
Mouth guards help to protect your teeth while you're playing close contact sports or clenching during stress. They can be made for children as well as adults. The purpose of these guards is to prevent your teeth from being severely damaged if you get hit in the face or mouth by another player or to prevent wear and tear on teeth due to grinding.
Oral Cancer Screen
Oral cancer can affect adults of any and all ages. Some patients are more at risk of developing oral cancer, like those who chew tobacco or wear ill-fitting oral appliances like old dentures.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation can be taken before a procedure to help you stay relaxed and calm. This method of sedation allows patients to get through complicated or long dental procedures, and can benefit patients that may have anxiety or fear when visiting the dentist.
Root Canal Treatment
When tooth pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or injury, a root canal may be necessary to save the tooth.
Sealants
Sealants are thin, clear protective coverings that can be applied to the back teeth. They are meant to prevent cavities and deepstaining that would otherwise occur if they weren't in place.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Dentists play an important role in diagnosing and managing sleep apnea, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs when the airway becomes blocked during sleep, causing pauses in breathing. Treatment options including Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT); Mandibular advancement devices (MADs); Nightlase® treatment.
TMJ Treatment
The TMJ (temporomandibular joint) is the joint that connects your lower jaw to your skull. As with many other joints on the body, the TMJ can experience pain, discomfort, swelling and a limited range of movement that gets in the way of your quality of life.
Tooth Extraction
Extractions are done as a way to preserve your overall oral health. In most cases, extraction is considered a last resort when other treatment options are not viable or effective.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a type of restoration that is designed to fit over a damaged or compromised tooth. If a tooth has fractured, broken or has recently been treated with a root canal, we may recommend that it be crowned. Crowns both protect the tooth from further damage as well as improve its size and shape. You can expect the restoration to last for many years before it'll need to be replaced.
Dental Inlays and Onlays
Both an inlay and onlay are restorations that can help to improve the look and feel of an otherwise damaged or compromised tooth.
