[efaccordion id=”01″] [efitems title=”Sedation dentistry” text=”Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s sometimes referred to as sleep dentistry, although that’s not entirely accurate. Patients are usually awake with the exception of those who are under general anesthesia.”] [efitems title=”Oral surgery” text=”Oral surgeries are common and can be performed right in the dentist office. You might need oral surgery for something as common as dental implants, or a number of conditions such as tooth extractions, gum grafts, jaw surgery, TMJ surgery, reconstructive surgery following an injury, cleft lip and palate surgery, cancer in the face, jaw, or neck area, obstructive sleep apnea, and more. Oral surgery can solve cosmetic or reconstructive needs.”][efitems title=”Root canals” text=”Root canals are common procedures and can help save your tooth from extraction. It’s necessary to have root canal (endodontic )treatment when the inside of your tooth (the pulp) becomes inflamed or infected as a result of deep decay, repeated dental procedures, faulty crowns or a crack or chip in the tooth. Trauma to your tooth may also cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible chips or cracks. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to an abscess. When you undergo a root canal or other endodontic treatment, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. Afterwards, the tooth is restored with a crown or filling for protection and will continue to function like any other tooth.
Endodontic treatment helps you maintain your natural smile, continue eating the foods you love and limits the need for ongoing dental work. With proper care, most teeth that have had root canal treatment can last a lifetime.”][efitems title=”Pinhole technique (Gum rejuvenation)” text=”The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™ ) is a minimally invasive treatment option to reverse gingival recession without grafting or sutures. Specialized instruments are used to make a small hole in your gum and add collagen material which stabilizes the area of gum recession. Unlike traditional gum grafting for receding gums, this new method is simple, suture-free and minimally invasive. PST™ was developed and patented by John Chao, D.D.S.”] [efitems title=”Lanap Laser Periodontal Therapy” text=”The LANAP protocol, a laser periodontitis treatment, is a minimally invasive gum disease treatment that can often reverse gum disease. A tiny laser fiber (about the thickness of three human hairs) is inserted between the tooth and the gum, and the infection and disease are cleared away without cutting the gums. The tooth roots are then thoroughly cleaned of tartar and plaque, and the laser is used again with a different setting to create a stable, firm fibrin blood clot to seal the pocket. The LANAP protocol helps avoid cutting and stitching of the gums. As a result, patients usually have minimal post-operative discomfort.”][efitems title=”Implants” text=”A dental implant is a titanium screw (like a tooth root) that is surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line. The process of fusing an implant with bone, called osseointegration, involves connecting the implant with a component called an abutment that supports the crown.
An implant allows your dentist to mount replacement teeth or a bridge into that area. An implant doesn’t come loose like a denture can. The implant provides stability to the jawbone without damaging teeth.
