High-definition X-rays taken inside the mouth (like bitewings and periapicals) used to detect decay between teeth, assess bone levels, and check the health of tooth roots and surrounding bone structures, identifying issues that aren't visible to the naked eye.

X-rays taken outside the mouth (such as panoramic or cephalometric films) that provide a broad view of the entire jaw, skull, and surrounding structures. Essential for planning complex procedures, orthodontics, and detecting impacted teeth or tumors.

A professional "deep clean" to remove hardened plaque (tartar) and surface stains from the teeth, followed by a thorough polish. This is paired with personalized instruction on proper brushing and flossing techniques to maintain long-term gum health.

A specialized deep-cleaning procedure, often called a "deep scale," that involves smoothing the root surfaces of the teeth below the gum line. This removes calculus and bacterial toxins, helping gum tissue reattach to the tooth root and treating early-stage gum disease.

Custom-fitted, removable dental appliances used to protect teeth from damage caused by involuntary clenching or grinding (bruxism), often worn at night. They can also alleviate associated symptoms like jaw pain and headaches.

A restorative treatment used to repair a tooth damaged by decay (a cavity). The decayed material is removed, and the area is filled with a durable material (like composite resin or amalgam) to restore the tooth's function and prevent further damage.

A procedure to remove infected or damaged nerve and pulp from the inside of a tooth. The interior is cleaned, disinfected, and then filled and sealed, saving the natural tooth from extraction. It often requires a crown for protection afterward.

Indirect restorations (meaning they are custom-made in a lab, then bonded to the tooth) used when a tooth has too much damage for a simple filling but not enough damage to require a full crown. Inlays fit inside the cusps, while onlays cover one or more cusps.

A tooth-shaped "cap" placed over a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They are often used to cover a tooth after a root canal or a large filling.

A fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of an artificial tooth (pontic) anchored to two crowns placed on the natural teeth or implants (abutments) on either side of the gap.

A surgical component (a metal post, typically titanium) that is surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line to act as a replacement for the tooth root. A dental crown is then placed on top of the implant to function as the new tooth.

Custom-made, thin shells of tooth-colored material (often porcelain or composite resin) bonded to the front surface of teeth. They are primarily used for cosmetic purposes to improve the appearance of stained, chipped, or misaligned teeth.

Prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and surrounding gum tissue. They are held in place by friction and can be taken out of the mouth for cleaning. They can be full (replacing all teeth in a jaw) or partial (replacing a few teeth).

The removal of a tooth from its socket in the jaw bone. This is performed when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, infected, or is causing crowding.

The removal of third molars (wisdom teeth) through a surgical procedure, often required when the teeth are impacted (trapped beneath the gum or bone) or are causing pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth.

A minor surgical procedure, typically for orthodontic purposes, to uncover a tooth (like a canine) that is stuck beneath the gum tissue and bone, allowing an orthodontist to guide it into its correct position in the mouth.

A common, minor surgical procedure to remove or modify a frenum—a small band of tissue connecting the lip, cheek, or tongue to the gum tissue. This is done to address "tongue-tie" (lingual frenectomy) or "lip-tie" (labial frenectomy) that may interfere with speech or cause gum recession.

The surgical removal of abnormal growths or inflamed tissue (lesions) in the mouth, such as fibromas or hypertrophied gum tissue. The tissue is typically sent for biopsy to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.

The use of stitches (sutures) to close incisions after surgical procedures, such as extractions or lesion excisions. This promotes precise healing, controls bleeding, and protects the surgical site from infection.

A procedure to realign fractured segments of the jawbone (mandible) without making an incision to directly see the fracture site. The bone is manipulated back into place, often followed by wiring the upper and lower teeth together (maxillomandibular fixation) to stabilize the fracture.

The diagnosis and treatment of misaligned teeth and jaws. Fixed appliances (like traditional braces with brackets and wires) are permanently attached, while removable appliances (like clear aligners or retainers) can be taken out by the patient.

A popular cosmetic dental treatment to lighten the color of teeth and remove stains. This is done using a peroxide-based bleaching agent, which can be applied either in the clinic or via a dentist-supervised home kit.

A thorough review of your entire oral health, including teeth, gums, and soft tissues. This often involves an oral cancer screening, bite evaluation, and detailed charting to establish a baseline for your dental health.
