Our General Dentistry Services
Air Abrasion Dentistry: For patients who dread the drill, our air abrasion technology offers a quieter, minimally invasive alternative for removing tooth decay. This innovative technique uses a stream of particles to gently etch away decay, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
- Bridges: Missing teeth can affect your smile, speech, and diet. We provide dental bridges as a durable solution to replace missing teeth, restore your smile’s functionality, and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
- Dental Cleanings: Regular dental cleanings are fundamental to maintaining oral health. Our gentle and thorough cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing at home can’t manage. These sessions also provide an opportunity for Dr. DSouza to monitor your oral health and catch potential issues early, helping you maintain a healthy smile year-round.
- Crowns and Cerec Same-Day Crowns: Damaged or severely decayed teeth may need crowns to restore their strength and appearance. Our office is equipped with CEREC technology, allowing us to create and place custom-designed crowns in just one visit, eliminating the need for multiple appointments.
- Emergency Dentistry & After Hours Dentistry: Dental emergencies can happen at any time. We offer emergency and after-hours dentistry services to address urgent dental issues such as severe pain, broken teeth, or accidents that require immediate attention.
- Fluoride Treatments: To help protect teeth against decay, especially for our younger patients, we offer fluoride treatments. These treatments strengthen the enamel and can significantly reduce the risk of cavities.
- Mercury-Safe and Mercury-Free Fillings: Your health is our priority, which is why our practice uses only mercury-free fillings. We also adhere to strict mercury-safe protocols when removing old amalgam fillings, ensuring the safety and well-being of our patients and staff.
- Neuromuscular Dentistry for TMD Relief: If you suffer from temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), our neuromuscular dentistry services can help relieve your symptoms. We use state-of-the-art techniques to correct jaw alignment and alleviate associated pain such as headaches, jaw soreness, and more.
- Occlusal Disease Treatment: Occlusal disease can cause worn, broken, or loose teeth due to misalignment of the chewing surfaces. We offer comprehensive treatment options to correct this and help preserve your natural teeth.
- Occlusal Night Guards: Protect your teeth from the effects of grinding and clenching with custom-made occlusal night guards. These devices are designed to minimize stress on your teeth during sleep and prevent further dental damage.
- Oral Cancer Screenings: Early detection is vital in the fight against oral cancer. We conduct thorough oral cancer screenings as part of our routine dental exams, using advanced diagnostic tools to detect signs that might be missed by the naked eye.
- Sedation Dentistry: Dental anxiety should never prevent you from receiving the care you need. Our sedation dentistry options can help make your dental visits more comfortable and relaxed, whether you’re undergoing a simple procedure or more complex treatments.
- Sleep Apnea Treatments: Sleep apnea can significantly impact your health and quality of life. We offer effective treatments for sleep apnea, including custom-fitted oral appliances that help keep your airways open while you sleep.
- Waterlase Laser Dentistry and Laser Dentistry: Utilizing the latest in laser dentistry, including Waterlase, we provide pain-free and precise treatments with minimal recovery time. Laser dentistry is ideal for a variety of procedures, from cavity preparation and gum reshaping to bacterial reduction during root canal treatments.
