Our General Dentistry Services
General dentistry includes both preventative and restorative procedures intended to avoid tooth decay, improve bite functionality, and enhance overall oral health.This field of dentistry makes use of many different procedures and pieces of equipment for the purposes of restoring the strength and appearance of the teeth as closely as possible.
Composite/White Fillings
Used to repair teeth that have had decay removed.
One of the most common dental procedures is the standard filling. When a tooth begins to decay, a cavity forms. Our dentists will remove the damaged part of the tooth, cleaning and filling the resulting hole with composite (plastic) resin. You may also choose a porcelain or gold inlay. The exact material used varies based on the size of the filling, your budget and other factors such as allergies. For more information, visit our dental fillings and routine check-ups page.
Getting your teeth cleaned at least every 6 months, brushing and flossing regularly and avoiding too much sugar will help keep your smile cavity-free. But also remember that over time, your fillings might wear down and need to be replaced.
Preventative Dentistry
Our highly skilled dental hygienists have many years of experience in dentistry. Our hygienists will do an in-depth assessment of your gums and surrounding tissue to determine your individual risk of developing periodontal/gum disease.
Certain tools they use will help guide your treatment to help ensure that you keep your teeth for your lifetime. There are many ways to care for your gums. Come and visit them at your Ironwood dental clinic for your individualized dental hygiene program and let’s keep your gums around your teeth in tip-top shape!
Dental Crowns
A cosmetic process that covers a severely damaged tooth with a synthetic cap (crown) to protect it and restore functionality to the tooth
Crowns are typically used by our dentist to cap or cover a damaged tooth, or to repair and protect an existing tooth.
Dental Bridges
The use of a fake tooth attached by two crowns on adjacent teeth to replace a missing tooth.
Bridges are commonly used to fill a large gap or a space between teeth. A bridge is often an alternative to a dental implant or orthodontic work, for which many insurance plans will offer partial coverage.
