Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry is an important part of overall health and wellness. We provide services that help individuals avoid costly and painful dental procedures, as well as improving their overall health. Regular visits to our office for checkups and cleanings can significantly reduce the risk of developing expensive and costly dental problems.

Dental Emergency

If you experience a dental emergency, be sure to call our practice as soon as possible. If you need immediate attention after hours, call our emergency phone number, and our on-call staff member will help you. In an extreme emergency, please go to a hospital emergency room.

Crowns

Our dental crowns provide strength and durability to protect vulnerable teeth from further deterioration. With the perfect combination of beauty & strength, our crowns can help keep your smile healthy for years to come.

Bridges

Among the most versatile of dental treatments, dental crowns restore both the aesthetics and the functionality of teeth that have been weakened, cracked, or otherwise damaged.

Fillings

Tooth fillings are quickly becoming the standard procedure to treat cavities. When compared to traditional metal (amalgam) fillings, tooth-colored fillings offer more natural-looking results.

Root Canals

A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. Root canal procedures are performed when the nerve of the tooth becomes infected or the pulp becomes damaged.

Dentures

Dentures are used to replace missing teeth and can be taken out and put back into your mouth. There are generally two types of dentures available: complete dentures and partial dentures. The type that is needed can be determined by your dentist.

Professional Cleaning & Exam

A professional cleaning and exam is a routine dental appointment that is essential for maintaining optimal oral health. It is a preventative measure that helps to identify any potential dental issues early on, before they become more serious problems that can lead to pain, discomfort, and expensive treatments.

Scaling & Root Planing

Dental scaling and root planning (SRP) is a non-surgical procedure used to treat gum disease or periodontitis, a common dental problem that occurs when bacteria build up on the teeth and gums. This can cause inflammation, swelling, and bleeding, and eventually, lead to tooth loss. Scaling and root planing is a common treatment for early-stage gum disease.

Treatment for Clenching & Grinding

Clenching and grinding of teeth, also known as bruxism, can be a common dental problem that affects many people. This condition can lead to significant tooth damage, jaw pain, headaches, and other related problems if left untreated.

BOOST® Teeth Whitening

Having a bright and sparkling smile can make a huge difference in your confidence and the way you present yourself. Teeth whitening is an effective and affordable way to improve the appearance of your teeth. Whether you’re looking for a quick fix or a longer-term solution, there are plenty of ways to get the perfect smile.

Appliances for Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a condition in which your breathing stops periodically during sleep, as often as 20 or 30 times an hour. Each time you stop breathing in your sleep, the resulting lack of oxygen alerts your brain, which temporarily wakes you up to restart proper breathing.

Dental Implants & Denture Stabilization

Denture stabilization involves the use of dental implants to secure the dentures in place. Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically inserted into the jawbone, where they fuse with the bone tissue to provide a stable and durable foundation for replacement teeth.

Sedation Dentistry

For our patients at West Harbor Dental who experience anxiety about visiting the dentist, sedation dentistry provides a way to reduce or eliminate that fear. When anxiety about visiting the dentist reaches a level that impacts your need to seek out treatment – even when you are experiencing pain – you are more likely to develop severe problems.

Cancer Screening

As part of your routine dental exam, the dentist will conduct an oral cancer screening. When examining your mouth, your dentist will look for any sores or discolored tissue, as well as check for any signs or symptoms.

Wisdom tooth extraction

If you are experiencing extreme sensitivity or are suffering from advanced periodontal disease, you may be required to have a tooth extracted. With a simple extraction, the dentist can safely remove the affected tooth without the need for major surgery.

Invisalign Clear Braces

Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing. So you can smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign is made with 3D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective.
