The foundation of your dental health starts with regular cleanings and examinations. During this appointment, our hygienist will remove any plaque and tartar buildup to help prevent cavities and gum disease. Not only are these regular checkups essential to protect your smile and reduce the risk of more invasive treatments in the future, but they are also important to help you maintain the best oral health possible. Our family-friendly services ensure that you and your loved ones have healthy smiles to last a lifetime.

During the checkup, our dental team performs a thorough examination of your mouth. We look for any signs of disease that might be affecting your teeth, gums, and surrounding tissue. The earlier we catch dental issues, the faster we can implement preventive and corrective treatments to minimize complications. Regular dental visits are the most effective solution to catch problems in the earliest stages so they can be treated more easily.

When tooth decay occurs, these cavities can cause permanent damage to the structure of your teeth. It’s critical that you seek dental treatment as soon as possible because if cavities are left unchecked, then they can lead to more serious problems in the future. A dental filling is a simple and effective way to get rid of the decayed areas of the tooth and restore the overall structure and function. We offer tooth-colored fillings for patients of all ages, with family-friendly services for both kids and adults.

Rest assured knowing that our modern dental technology ensures a fast and comfortable experience when you are in the dental chair. If you have a toothache caused by a cavity and need an immediate treatment, then we can often accommodate walk-in appointments. We’ll carefully remove the decayed portion of your tooth, then use a strong filling that keeps the remaining structure of the tooth healthy and protected. Our fillings are made with the best materials in the industry and are designed to last for many years.

If there is an infection deep within your tooth, then it might be necessary to perform a root canal to remove the infected pulp. The good news is that modern dentistry makes root canals as simple as a filling, and this treatment can save your tooth from extraction. During the treatment, we remove the infected tissue inside the tooth, clean it thoroughly, and seal the tooth. Not only will a root canal relieve your pain, but it will also allow you to maintain your natural tooth structure.

Often, a crown is recommended after a root canal to ensure the tooth is strong and durable after the treatment. This combination of treatments is an effective solution to preserve your natural smile and you will be able to enjoy your normal activities right away.

While our goal is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible, there are times when it is necessary to remove a tooth if it is severely damaged or decayed. This extraction is sometimes required to protect the health of your mouth, helping to prevent infection or decay from spreading to other teeth. Our team provides the best care possible to ensure that your extraction is a comfortable experience. We use gentle techniques and detailed aftercare suggestions to help you have a smooth recovery.

Tooth extractions can sometimes be needed for both adults and kids. For example, adults might require extraction because of decay or damage. The most common reason kids need extraction is because of overcrowding or to prepare for upcoming orthodontic treatments. We offer personalized recommendations for each patient, helping you maintain the healthiest smile possible.

When a tooth is damaged or weakened, then a dental crown can be a great solution to protect and restore the remaining structure so that you can preserve the tooth for as long as possible. Each crown is custom-designed to create a natural appearance that blends in with the rest of your smile. We use modern technology to design the ideal fit for your mouth, including the shape, color, and strength that you need. Each crown will seamlessly fit in your mouth and it feels natural and normal, mimicking the original function and appearance of your natural tooth.

There are many reasons why crowns might be recommended for dental restorations. If you have a large filling or root canal, then a crown can be a way to provide the additional support that is needed. Crowns are also beneficial if a tooth is cracked or broken. Not only does a dental crown improve the appearance of the tooth, but this restoration also helps to strengthen the tooth and so that you have normal function while eating and talking.

When you are missing one or more teeth, then a dental bridge can be an effective way to fill in the gaps and help you enjoy a happy, confident smile. Bridges are designed to hold one or more artificial teeth in place where the natural teeth were previously extracted. Anchors are needed to secure the bridge, either using a crown that attaches to a neighboring tooth and/or dental implants.

Each dental bridge is custom-designed to ensure the ideal fit, a comfortable alignment in your bite, and a natural appearance. We design your dental bridge to blend with the rest of your teeth. You will be able to eat, talk, and smile with confidence after this restoration is complete. In addition to filling in the gap where you are missing teeth, a dental bridge can also be effective for holding the surrounding teeth in place to ensure proper alignment.

If you have lost many of your teeth, then dentures are an effective option to restore your smile. Our team at Willow Bend Dental Care offers full and partial dentures, depending on your personalized needs. Full dentures are available to replace all of the teeth in your mouth. Or, partial dentures can be a great option if you still have healthy teeth remaining. Our customized approach ensures that you have a comfortable fit and you can eat, speak, and smile normally.

We work closely with each patient to ensure that you receive the best possible design and appearance with your new dentures. If you are considering your options for dental restorations, then we invite you to schedule a consultation to discuss your needs and learn more about available treatment options.

Dental implants offer a great solution to replace missing teeth. This treatment is designed to be a long-lasting restoration and can last a lifetime with proper care. Each implant is designed to mimic the natural tooth with a titanium post placed in the jawbone acting as the “root,” and a restoration on top: usually a crown, bridge, or implant-supported dentures. Securing an implant post in the jawbone not only restores the appearance of your smile, but it is also helpful to support oral health by preserving the bone structure.

Each implant is carefully placed to restore your function and aesthetics. Once the implant and restoration are in place, you will be able to speak, eat, and smile like normal. These implants blend in with your natural teeth, helping to restore your confidence. Implants are a great investment because you can achieve long-lasting results with this treatment.

Modern dentistry makes it possible to straighten your teeth without the discomfort of wearing traditional wire braces with brackets. Invisalign uses custom-designed trays made with clear plastic that fit over your teeth. Over time, the aligners gently move your teeth into the ideal alignment. You must follow the specific instructions and switch out the aligners every few weeks to follow the progression of your treatment.

Not only are Invisalign aligners discreet, but they can be removed as needed so you can eat and clean your teeth normally. Invisalign is a great option for every family to consider with treatment options for both teens and adults. This treatment offers flexibility and comfort, with reliable results without the discomfort of metal braces.

If you want a fast and effective smile makeover, then consider an investment in dental veneers. This treatment uses ultra-thin shells that are custom-fit to cover the visible surfaces of your teeth. They are bonded in place and cover up minor imperfections, such as stains, chips, or gaps. Veneers are typically made with high-quality porcelain, offering long-term durability and a natural appearance.

It’s easy to see why veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment. They can drastically enhance your smile and only require a few appointments to complete the treatment. Our dental team works with each patient to custom-design the veneers. You can choose the shape, color, and size to create the smile you’ve always wanted. This long-lasting solution is a great option if you are looking for a way to improve the appearance of your smile and protect your teeth from wear and tear at the same time.
