Preventive Care Preventive Care means finding ways to avoid the need for active dental therapy. We practice preventive dentistry by applying sealants to grooved or pitted surfaces. We use ADA tested and approved materials. We also prevent problems by educating our patients in proper home care techniques. Fluoride treaments are preventive.
Orthodontists straighten teeth.
Proper alignment, elimination of crowding and optimum jaw or bite relationships are very, very important both to help maintain our healthy teeth for life, as well as to put our best smile forward. I am experienced in both the simple and the surgical extraction of single and multi-rooted teeth and will perform extractions in my office. The oral surgeon is the specialist to whom I will refer my patient for extractions if the patient will require unconscious sedation or general anesthesia. The oral surgeon is also the specialist that we will have place implants for single tooth replacements, when indicated. Implants may also be an excellent option to help replace multiple missing teeth.
