Dental cleanings begin with a quick exam. Our Dentist visually looks at your gums and teeth, checking for any apparent abnormalities. X-rays may be considered if you're due for them. The actual dental cleaning process begins after your X-rays. The Dentist and Lucia Monsaive RDH, our hygienist, uses a small metal tool with pointed ends to remove harmful plaque and tartar from your teeth.

Once the plaque and tartar buildup has been scraped off, the hygienist brushes and polishes your teeth using a high-powered brush and special toothpaste. The brushing is followed by a professional flossing.

A crown is a piece of metal, plastic, ceramic, or porcelain that covers a damaged tooth. It's designed in the shape of the original tooth and can strengthen the tooth and restore its appearance.

Many adults think dental implants are the next best thing to having natural teeth, and they might be right. When you lose your teeth due to tooth decay, a disease, or a traumatic injury, your self-esteem and smile can take a hit. Dental implants are strong, stable teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. A dental implant is a metal post or frame that a dentist surgically attaches to your jawbone, beneath your gums. The metal post becomes a permanent base for a replacement tooth. This screw-like post is like the root of your new tooth. Once the post is in place and your mouth fully heals, a process that typically takes a few weeks, the doctor mounts the new replacement tooth (crown) on the post permanently. The implants fuse to your jawbone, so they are strong, stable, and don’t shift in your mouth. These metal posts also work to help dentures, crowns, and bridges stay solidly attached to your jaw. https://www.charlottedentalesthetics.com/services/emergency-dentist monthly 0.5 2022-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0df09bce82f22117b71418/1594834887436-02XMKMT63FQGP8NO4VRI/dental-procedure.jpg Services - Emergency Dentist - What is an emergency dentist?

Your teeth can turn yellow for a variety of reasons. The foods you eat and drink, certain medications, and age might all be contributing factors. The enamel on your teeth can get surface stains from drinks like red wine, tea, and coffee, and this can make your teeth appear yellow. Big contributors include tobacco and smoking, too. Eventually, these surface stains can become even harder to remove because they go beneath the enamel to the dentin of your tooth. https://www.charlottedentalesthetics.com/services/tooth-fillings monthly 0.5 2023-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0df09bce82f22117b71418/1594905043005-EEZVNWHJFRABNGEV1MTU/x-ray-dental-filling.jpg Services - Tooth Fillings - What are tooth fillings? Tooth fillings are materials that dentists use to fill cavities caused by tooth decay, or to repair teeth with minor chipping or fracturing. Their job is to restore your tooth to its original structure and function. They also protect teeth from outside damage, prevent further tooth decay, and stop any pain associated with cavities. To prepare the tooth, The Doctor first removes any existing tooth decay or damage and then cleans the affected area. Once your tooth is free of the offending material, he fills it with the filling material. Finally, he shapes the filling so that it looks natural, and hardens it so that it lasts longer. https://www.charlottedentalesthetics.com/services/veneers monthly 0.5 2023-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0df09bce82f22117b71418/1594903192300-O364VUH9DI4XZY5QLTBH/smiling-woman.jpg Services - Veneers - What are dental veneers? Veneers help re-create the appearance of your natural teeth with a thin layer of porcelain. Each veneer is custom-made to fit your individual teeth to ensure flawless results. Then, our dentist bonds the veneers to your current teeth. Veneers cover blemishes like gaps, stains, cracks, or misshapen teeth. In addition, they help reinforce weak teeth.
