Initial Oral Examination
Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination,
charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment
recommendations. We will also take x-rays, which includes the
panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and
posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for
proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.
Implants
Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of
the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored
to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a
foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some
cases, implants can be used to attach dentures. Read

Crowns
and Bridges
Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like
porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth. Crowns are typically

restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a

must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth. Read

Toothaches
Simple toothaches can often be relieved by rinsing the mouth to
clear it of debris and other matter. Sometimes, a toothache can
be caused or aggravated by a piece of debris lodged between the
tooth and another tooth. Avoid placing an aspirin between your
tooth and gum to relieve pain, because the dissolving aspirin
can actually harm your gum tissue. Read
