Emergency Dental Care
Emergency dental care refers to urgent treatment for severe dental issues that require immediate attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, or save a tooth. Common dental emergencies include severe toothaches, knocked-out or broken teeth, abscesses, uncontrolled oral bleeding, and infections that could spread. Emergency dental care aims to provide quick relief, prevent further complications, and restore oral health.
Dental Exams
A dental exam is a routine check-up performed by a dentist to assess oral health. It typically includes:
Visual Examination – Checking teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues.
X-Rays – Capturing images to detect hidden problems such as cavities, bone loss, or impacted teeth.
Oral Cancer Screening – Examining the mouth, throat, and soft tissues for any abnormalities.
Bite & Jaw Assessment – Evaluating the alignment of teeth and jaw function.
Discussion & Recommendations – Reviewing findings, discussing oral hygiene habits, and planning necessary treatments.
Dental Cleanings
Dental cleanings are professional teeth cleanings performed by a dental hygienist to remove plaque, tartar, and stains, helping maintain oral health. The process typically includes:
Scaling – Removing plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) from teeth, especially along the gumline.
Polishing – Smoothing the tooth surfaces to remove stains and reduce future plaque buildup.
Flossing – Cleaning between teeth to remove any remaining debris.
Fluoride Treatment (if needed) – Applying fluoride to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities.
Gum Health Check – Assessing the gums for signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease.
Regular dental cleanings (typically every six months) help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

Dental Implants and Full Arch Restorations
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement option consisting of a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. A custom crown is then attached to restore function and appearance. Implants are durable, prevent bone loss, and function like natural teeth.
Full Arch Dental Implants
A full arch dental implant (also known as All-on-4 or All-on-6) replaces an entire row of teeth using multiple implants to support a fixed prosthetic arch. This is an alternative to traditional dentures, offering better stability, improved chewing ability, and a more natural look. It is a long-term solution for patients with significant tooth loss.
