Dental Solutions (cont.)
Bonding
So you want to enhance your smile, but you have concerns about procedures and cost. Cosmetic bonding is the perfect solution! Affordable and conservative, bonding can be used for a variety of enhancements, including whitening stain-resistant teeth (including tetracycline stains), repairing chips and closing gaps between teeth. The procedure is simple: a composite material is placed on the tooth, then shaped to the desired result. Finally, the material is hardened and polished, creating a natural appearance.
Teeth Whitening
If you are unhappy with the dull, yellowish shade of your teeth, consider teeth whitening as the perfect solution! Teeth whitening is safe, effective, and an efficient way to dramatically improve your overall appearance. The doctors at Lorton Dental can help you choose the most effective and convenient method of whitening for you. We offer in-office whitening as well as take-home kits. These processes can actually make your natural tooth color between seven and twelve shades brighter than it is right now! You too can have the bright, white Hollywood smile that you've always dreamed about!
Hygiene
Preventive care is an integral part of our practice. Our Dental Hygienists are highly educated, experienced and trained in the latest methods of preventive hygiene. Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the most important things you can do for your teeth and gums. Promoting health through preventive dentistry and educating our patients on good oral hygiene is the heart of our practice. Thorough examinations and professional cleanings allow us to identify problem areas and stop periodontal disease.
Periodontics
Periodontal treatment starts with prevention: regular cleanings and good hygiene habits are excellent precautions to avoid gum disease. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss and has been linked to heart disease, stroke and premature and low birth weight babies. The main cause of periodontal disease is bacteria in the form of a sticky, colorless plaque that constantly forms on your teeth; however, other factors can cause the disease or influence its progression. Scaling, root planing and local delivery of antimicrobials can treat and prevent the progression of the disease. In some cases, surgical therapy or cosmetic solutions may be necessary to correct the damage from gum disease physically and cosmetically. We can evaluate your situation and present the best treatment options for you.
Dentures
Suffering the loss of all of your natural teeth can be difficult. If you have lost all of your natural teeth, dentures can replace your missing teeth and smile. Tooth loss can come from periodontal disease, tooth decay, or injury, but with dentures, you can benefit your appearance and health, and can continue to function as a healthy, active adult. Dr. Reeves can help you make an informed decision about whether dentures are ideal for you.
Endodontics
With today's modern dental techniques, having root canals done by a dentist is no longer a scary experience. Extensive decay, an accident, tooth fracture, or gum disease can kill teeth and cause a root canal symptom such as root canal pain or a dental abscess. However, regardless of the root canal cause, your teeth can be saved using modern therapy to do root canal treatment.
Full Mouth Rehabilitations
You deserve to look and feel your best. Dr. Reeves can help restore your oral health through full mouth rehabilitation, and in doing so, can take years off your appearance with a dazzling, fresh smile.
