Sedation Dentistry

Nitrous Oxide Sedation Makes Treatment Easy

Laughing gas, as nitrous oxide is commonly called, is a type of sedation absorbed into the body by inhaling the medication through a mask. It allows for complete relaxation during treatment. A local anesthetic is also applied to the area of treatment to eliminate pain in most cases.

Dental Treatments using Local Anesthesia

Comfortable Local Anesthesia

Although many patients don't fear dental treatment, no one is crazy about having an injection. We are very pleased to bring you the latest development in anesthetic technology with the Midwest Comfort Control™ Syringe (CCS). This slowly administers the anesthesia into the designated area. What does that mean for you? Eliminated sensitivity and discomfort! The injection will be completed without you feeling a thing. Patients often comment how relaxed and comfortable they feel with this improvement in injection technology.

Dental Crowns

Restoring a Tooth with a Crown

A tooth may be broken or worn down to the extent that it can no longer be restored with a regular filling. The tooth is then restructured by placing a crown over it. We use only the best quality materials that are durable and look natural. You will not be able to tell the crown is not your actual tooth.

Treating Dental Gum Disease

Alternative Approaches to Treating Gum Disease

Don't wait to come into our office for treatment of gum infection. Surgery may be the only option once the disease has reached a severe stage. In milder cases, nonsurgical means can be used to remedy the problem successfully. Most insurance coverage provides for either option. But the best treatment is prevention, so we encourage good daily dental care and regular hygiene visits to our office.

Help Preserve Strong, Supporting Bones with Dental Bone Grafts

Maintaining Sufficient Bone Density

There may be reason to extract a tooth due to severe root problems or decay. Once a tooth is extracted, bone density starts to diminish almost immediately. It is important to preserve bone mass in the jaw for any future needs of a dental implant.

We use a technique that fills the site of the removed tooth. A bone graft greatly aids in preserving strong, supporting bone. Even if you choose not to have an implant, it is important to maintain strong bone structure in your jawline.

Dental Root Canals

Saving Teeth with Root Problems

Teeth that have infected or badly damaged roots are not always destined for extraction anymore. Root canals are more advanced and manageable for patients than ever! Our doctors are very experienced in all the latest procedures to successfully keep a problem tooth intact. 

During the procedure, the interior pulp chamber of the tooth is removed and replaced with a special filling material suitable for this condition. This is necessary when decay and infection have reached the nerve of the tooth. A regular type of filling will not be sufficient. 

In the past, root canals were a dreaded treatment. But patients no longer have this outlook, as we use the most advanced techniques and anesthetics that make it easy.

White Dental Fillings

No Metal in Our Fillings

Many patients are familiar with amalgam fillings, comprised mainly of silver-mercury metals. This has been the common filling material used by dentists for decades. As metal does not bond tightly to tooth structure, they don't last as needed. Eventually, they can loosen and allow decay to set in. Patients also don't like how noticeable they are, and how they detract from an attractive smile. 

We use only modern, composite resin fillings. They bond very tightly to tooth structure, greatly reducing the occurrence of decay setting in. They are made to match the shade of a tooth and go unnoticed. This makes for an aesthetically pleasing enhancement of your smile.
