Regular Exams and Cleanings
Even the best daily brushing and flossing won’t get every bit of plaque between teeth and along the gumlines, and that plaque eventually hardens into tartar. Professional cleaning gets rid of all that tartar and keeps your teeth and gums on track to stay healthy.
Bridges
No matter the cause of the tooth loss, it’s important to fill in the gap to restore normal chewing function. One option is a dental bridge. The bridge replaces missing teeth with pontics (fake teeth) and is supported by attaching to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap.
Crowns
Our doctors will place crowns to help out with many different dental health problems. Some of those include:
- To cover a dental implant.
- For a cosmetic modification.
- To protect a broken tooth or one that has been severely worn down.
Fillings
Fillings are a way to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay and bring it back to its normal shape and function. When our doctors gives you a filling, They will first remove all of the decay on the tooth and clean the area, and then fill the cleaned-out cavity with a filling material.
Extractions
A tooth may require extraction for a variety of reasons. If the tooth is impacted in the gumline (particularly common with wisdom teeth), if there are serious crowding issues, or if the tooth is too damaged, rotted, or loose to be saved with root canal treatment, our doctors may determine that extraction is the best option.
Root Canal Therapy
A root canal can restore an infected tooth to its natural function and appearance. Contrary to popular belief, the process is typically no more painful than filling a cavity.
Full and Partial Dentures
Dentures are a great replacement for missing teeth. They can be removed and put back in at any time. At Meridian Dental Care, we offer affordable dentures made with the very best materials on the market.
Implant-Retained Dentures
Unlike traditional dentures, which rely on suction and soft tissue support to stay in place and are removable, implant-retained dentures combine the advantages of dentures with those of dental implants.
