Common Dental Treatments

Dr. Kantwill offers a variety of treatments, both for emergency care and general upkeep. These services include:

• Exams and cleanings. To keep your dental health up to date, regular examinations and cleanings are important. This is a common and fairly straightforward process, can be taken care of quickly, and is non-invasive.
• Teeth whitening. It may become necessary over time to have your teeth whitened. Years of tea and coffee drinking, certain fruits and vegetables, and tobacco use can cause dramatic staining, and many people choose to have their teeth whitened.
• Inlays and onlays. Dental inlays and onlays are typically used to repair the biting surface of a tooth or teeth. This is different from fillings and crowns.
• Tooth extractions. Whether from trauma or decay, having a tooth extracted is a common procedure. At some point, it may be necessary to have a tooth removed.
• Fillings. Fillings are used to prevent further damage from cavities. This is a very common procedure, and people of all ages may need a filling.
• Tooth bonding. In the event of damage, dental bonding fills in the gaps where you may be missing full teeth. This is a cosmetic treatment to restore the beauty of your smile.
• Dentures and partials. As we age, the health of our teeth may begin to fail, and dentures or partials may become necessary. Dentures are a set of synthetic teeth created specifically for the shape of your mouth. Partials are just as they sound — a partial, removable fill-in for multiple missing teeth in a row.
• Gum disease. Screening for gum disease is important because it not only impacts your dental health but can also potentially severely damage the jawbone. While there are several stages to gum disease, catching the issue early makes it treatable.
• Porcelain veneers. Veneers are a very thin coating that is applied to the teeth for cosmetic purposes. They are meant to restore the evenness of your smile and give you more confidence in your day-to-day life.
• Laser dentistry. Meant for surgical purposes, laser dentistry can be used to treat a number of issues and is an innovative technology for a number of dental concerns.
• Oral cancer screening. Oral cancer screening is an important step towards diagnosing what can become a devastating disease. Having regular oral cancer screening is the best preventative measure available.

• Severe dental pain. If you’re experiencing severe pain in your mouth, consider emergency dental care instead of taking a couple of painkillers and assuming it will go away.
