Cosmetic Dentistry
Are you unhappy with your smile? If you are in good oral health but want to change the way your teeth and gums look, call our office. Our dentists help patients improve their smiles with cosmetic dentistry treatments:
- Botox and Dermal Fillers: Dr. Duling offers Botox, dermal fillers, and PRF facials to smooth out the appearance of the skin. Botox can also treat painful symptoms of TMD, like headaches and facial pain. These injections reduce facial tension.
- Clear Braces: Six Month Smiles, Invisalign, and ClearCorrect offer a more modern and conservative way to straighten crooked and misaligned teeth. All three treatments are designed to be more comfortable and less noticeable than traditional braces. They also reduce the need for frequent adjustments and help maintain good oral hygiene during treatment.
- Porcelain Veneers: Tooth veneers are thin shells of porcelain ceramic bonded to the front of teeth. They address damaged and stained teeth. Because we color-match these veneers to natural teeth, they blend in with your natural smile.
- Dental Bonding: A more cost-effective alternative to veneers, tooth bonding uses resin bonded to the tooth enamel. Dental bonding can treat tooth chips, cracks, fractures, and staining. This cosmetic treatment offers quick, effective care.
General Dentistry
Whether you’ve experienced dental trauma, struggle with dental anxiety, or need routine care for your family, we can help. General dentistry solutions keep your teeth and gums healthy. These preventive services include:
- Custom Mouthguard: Compared to store-bought mouthguards, our professional mouthguards fit precisely. Sports mouthguards protect teeth from injury and restorations from damage. We provide mouthguards for children and adults.
- Emergency Dentistry: If you have dental trauma or a broken restoration, we can schedule an emergency appointment soon. We also treat toothaches, knocked-out teeth, and bleeding gums. Same-day dental care can help prevent further problems.
- Family Dentistry: Dr. Duling and her team help educate parents about how to care for their children’s teeth. We also provide age-appropriate dental care for patients of all ages.
- Sedation Dentistry: We provide sedation for complex dental treatments. It also benefits patients with dental fear or anxiety. Under sedation, you feel relaxed and comfortable.
- Tooth Extraction: If you have an impacted wisdom tooth, infected teeth, or broken teeth, they may require extraction. Our office provides comfortable tooth removal. We can help patients with sturdy dental implants if they need a restoration.
Restorative Dentistry
Dental restorations and restorative care help remove infections, replace missing teeth, and treat jaw and bite problems. If you have dental problems that make it hard to eat, speak, or even sleep, we’re here to help. Learn more about our restorative services:
- Dental Bridge: Patients with multiple missing teeth benefit from dental bridges, which are removable or fixed prosthetics. Traditional bridges use natural teeth for support. However, we can secure bridges with dental implants for a more stable restoration.
- Dental Crowns: Dental crowns fully cover damaged or weakened teeth. They can also cap off dental implants. Dr. Duling can provide same-day dental crowns for patients with CEREC.
- Dental Implants: Dental implants consist of a titanium post, abutment, and crown. They can replace a single missing tooth or multiple teeth. In addition, they can secure dentures or dental bridges.
- Dentures and Partials: Do you have full arches of missing teeth? Dentures are the right restoration for you. Full or partial dentures replace consecutive missing teeth or full arches. Like dental bridges, dentures may be supported by dental implants.
- Gum Disease Treatment: Gum disease is a bacterial infection that inflames the gums. Early gum treatments include routine professional cleanings. Scaling and root planing can clean around and beneath the gums to combat symptoms of gum disease.
- Sleep Apnea: Do you snore or wake up during the night? You may have sleep apnea. It blocks the airway and is especially dangerous for patients with heart problems. Dr. Duling can treat mild sleep apnea with oral appliances.
- TMJ Treatment: Damage to the TMJ often leads to jaw and facial pain. We’re here to help. Custom oral appliances and even Botox in our office can prevent tooth wear and TMD pain.
