Gary M Tetrick, DDS

Dental Examination
During the oral exam, the dentist will check the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue.
X-rays
Dental X-rays can be a crucial part of your treatment at our Bellingham dental office. Catching tooth decay at an early stage is the best way to avoid any major damage down the road, and X-rays remain the most reliable way to properly assess any tooth decay you may have.

Fillings
Resin Composite
At Tetrick Family Dentistry, you can benefit from high-quality fillings made from durable materials that will blend seamlessly with your teeth. With our tooth-colored fillings, no one will be able to tell you had dental work done. If your tooth decay has not yet progressed too far, a filling may be right for you. A small cavity can be filled in with either a white composite resin or a silver amalgam material, which serves to protect your healthy tooth structure from further damage.
Crowns
The health of your gums, or your periodontal health, is just as important as the health of your teeth. Your gums are highly fragile tissues, vulnerable to the same acids that cause tooth decay. To make matters worse, while a damaged tooth can be repaired fairly easily with a filling or crown, periodontal tissue is much more difficult to rebuild when it becomes damaged. This is why reliable, quality periodontal care is a crucial part of your routine treatment at Tetrick Family Dental in Bellingham.
Bridges
A dental bridge is similar in many ways to a crown, except that it spans several teeth. Effectively, crowns are placed upon two teeth on either side of a missing tooth, both crowns serving to hold an artificial tooth in place between them.
Restorative Dentistry
Every year, Dr. Tetrick attends courses restorative dentistry to stay current with the newest technology in the field. By using cutting-edge techniques and materials backed by the latest research, she gives her patients the best possible quality of care. Dr. Tetrick is a member of the Washington State Dental Association, Mount Baker District Dental Society, American Dental Association, and the Oral Health Coalition.

Root Canal Treatment
When a cavity is allowed to progress too far, it can penetrate the bony dentin of your tooth and infect the fleshy pulp inside. When this happens, the pulp becomes inflamed and causes severe pain. At this point, it is necessary to perform a root canal in order to save the tooth. This is when your tooth is drilled, the diseased tissue is removed, and a filling is placed to seal up the tooth again.

Deep Cleaning
If you are suffering from gum disease, there are numerous treatment options. Sometimes, treating the cause will be enough to allow the gums to repair themselves. Minor cases can benefit from scaling, root planning, and changes in habits that may include giving up smoking. Surgical options may be necessary for more advanced cases.

Dentures
For patients who are missing multiple teeth, one or more dental implants can be used to hold a set of dentures in place.

Dental Implants
A missing tooth is more than just an unsightly gap in your mouth. It is a concern that has serious and long-term effects on your oral health. This is why quality dental implant restorations are so important.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Tooth Extractions
Your tooth extraction starts with a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth. The dentist will then open up the gums surrounding the problem tooth and separate the tissues that connect it with your jaw. After the extraction, you may be given stitches to facilitate your recovery. You might experience some light bleeding, and will have to avoid activities that aggravate the area for the next few days.

Braces
Broken Braces: Any breakage in your braces threatens to undo all the good that your orthodontic work is doing.

Teeth Whitening
Cosmetic Dentistry
Over the past 41 years, Dr. Tetrick has earned hundreds of hours of continuing education credits in all aspects of general, restorative and cosmetic dentistry. He has taken courses at some of the most prestigious CE institutes in the country, including the Kois Institute, John Kois and Frank Spear Creating Restorative Excellence Study Club. He is a current member of the American Dental Association, the Mt. Baker Dental Society, and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
