Comprehensive Exams & Cleanings

At your appointment, the dental team will examine your entire mouth to look for any signs of disease, or decay, and to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy. This includes a professional cleaning, which removes plaque and tartar buildup.
Digital X-Rays

Your dentist will take a quick and painless x-ray to make sure your teeth, roots, and jaw bones are healthy. Digital X-rays are safe, and radiation-free and provide detailed images that can help the team understand any issues and the best course of treatment.
Composite Fillings

If there is a cavity or other damage to your tooth, the dentist may recommend a composite filling to fill the space. These are made from a plastic/glass mix and provide a strong, but natural-looking filling.
Custom Mouthguards

If you play contact or aggressive sports, or grind your teeth, your dentist will recommend a custom-fitted mouthguard. These are designed to fit your mouth and protect your teeth from any damage.
Tooth extractions

When a tooth is damaged beyond repair or threatening the health of your mouth, the dentist may recommend having it extracted. The procedure is quick and painless, and the dentist can discuss any options for replacing the tooth after extraction.
Root Canals

If the nerve of a tooth becomes infected, the dentist may recommend a root canal. In this procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed, the area is cleaned, and then filled with a medicated material.
Crowns & Bridges

Damaged or decayed teeth may need to be restored with a crown or bridge to prevent further decay. Crowns fit over the existing tooth, while bridges replace teeth that have already been extracted.
Sealants & Fluoride Treatments

The dental team can apply sealants to your teeth to protect the enamel from wear and tear. They may also recommend fluoride treatments to help prevent cavities and maintain healthy gums.

When should children begin visiting the dentist?

Pediatric dentistry is best performed when your child is between the age of 2 and 3. At this age, your little one is old enough to brush and floss correctly with minimal instruction and is old enough to participate in a regular dental visit with minimal anxiety.

At Dr. Nancy Smith’s family dental practice, we understand the importance of providing age-appropriate pediatric dental care to keep your family’s smiles healthy and beautiful. From regular preventive care, like cleanings and check-ups to more advanced treatments, we provide comprehensive solutions to meet the dental needs of each individual in your family.
