Diagnostic

Dental Examination
You will get a careful oral examination by your dentist, who will check for things like tooth decay, gum disease and other things that can affect not just your mouth, but your overall health. Then you’ll talk together about any treatments you might benefit from.
X-rays
Dental X-rays from Bright Now! Dental can help our dentists and orthodontists diagnose an array of dental problems like cavities, cracked or damaged teeth, bone deterioration, overcrowding, and teeth movement so that you can receive the best possible treatment. They’re also a fast and affordable way to help keep minor dental health problems from turning into bigger ones.
Oral Cancer Screening
Nearly 70 invidviduals were provided $80,000 in donated dentistry during Ohio’s Day of Giving Event. Bright Now Dental in Lorain, in partnership with the Smiles for Everyone Foundation, proviced procedures including checkups, cleanings, oral cancer screenings, fluoride treatments, fillings and extractions to low income individuals in the community.

Preventive

Teeth Cleaning
Many of us are taught the importance of cleaning our teeth at an early age, but not everyone is as aware of the importance of regular professional teeth cleaning. Professional teeth cleaning is a common procedure done by dental hygienists (usually every 6 months) to help remove bacteria, plaque, and tartar from your teeth. Teeth cleanings also allow your dentist an opportunity to review your oral health and look for early stages of some serious medical conditions, such as leukemia, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, strokes, and even some cancers. regularly examines your mouth and professionally cleans it, they can catch some of the early stages of these conditions as well as any oral health issues early and address them, sometimes preventing them altogether.
Fluoride Treatment
Following the teeth cleaning, you may receive a fluoride treatment to help reduce bacteria from developing on teeth and strengthen your enamel. Either a varnish will be applied to your teeth that will be hardened by your saliva, or a mouthpiece with fluoride gel or paste will be held against your teeth for around a minute.
Dental Sealants
Space Maintainers
Sometimes space needs to be created or maintained in a child’s mouth to allow adult teeth to erupt properly and prevent overcrowding before it occurs. A space maintainer does just that, creating room in the mouth for a healthy adult tooth (or several teeth) to come in before existing neighboring teeth can overcrowd the area. Space maintainers are near-permanent fixtures typically made of ceramic or wire placed on the roof of the mouth and attached to the teeth.

Restorative

Fillings
1. Amalgam (silver filling) is the most thoroughly researched and tested restorative material among all those in use. It is durable, easy to use, highly resistant to wear and relatively inexpensive in comparison to other materials. For those reasons, it remains a valued treatment option for dentists and their patients. While questions have arisen about the safety of dental amalgam relating to its mercury content, the major U.S. and international scientific and health bodies, including the National Institute of Health, the U.S. Public Health Service, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization, among others have been satisfied that dental amalgam is a safe, reliable and effective restorative material. Because amalgam fillings can withstand very high chewing loads, they are particularly useful for restoring molars in the back of the mouth where chewing load is greatest. They are also useful in areas where a cavity preparation is difficult to keep dry during the filling replacement, such as in deep fillings below the gum line. Amalgam fillings, like other filling materials, are considered biocompatible—they are well tolerated by patients with only rare occurrences of allergic response. Disadvantages of amalgam include possible short-term sensitivity to hot or cold after the filling is placed. The silver-colored filling is not as natural looking as one that is tooth-colored, especially when the restoration is near the front of the mouth, and shows when the patient laughs or speaks. And to prepare the tooth, the dentist may need to remove more tooth structure to accommodate an amalgam filling than for other types of fillings. 2. Composite fillings are a mixture of glass or quartz filler in a resin medium that produces a tooth-colored filling. They are sometimes referred to as composites or filled resins. Composite fillings provide good durability and resistance to fracture in small-to-mid size restorations that need to withstand moderate chewing pressure. Less tooth structure is removed when the dentist prepares the tooth, and this may result in a smaller filling than that of an amalgam. Composites can also be ‘bonded’ or adhesively held in a cavity, often allowing the dentist to make a more conservative repair to the tooth.
Resin Composite
Traditionally, fillings were only made from metal, usually gold or silver. Metal fillings were and are very durable, but many patients do not enjoy how obvious they are in the mouth. There are now tooth-colored options, like composite resin and porcelain, which make fillings much more discrete. Your dentist can help you decide on the best material for your filling based on the location of the tooth, the budget, the size of the cavity, and your preferences.
Veneers
For patients looking to receive more extensive cosmetic treatment procedures, Bright Now! Dental offers affordable veneers or bonding to choose from. This kind of treatment process doesn’t have to be expensive, nor does it have to compromise quality. Especially with more invasive cosmetic procedures, you want to make sure your dentist knows exactly what you’re looking for. We recommend using a dentist near me search to find a Bright Now! Dental Dentist that can provide you with an in-depth consultation before making your dental decision!
Crowns
Dental injuries and tooth damage can happen any time, even with the best preventative care or precautionary measures, and they rarely happen when it’s convenient. Teeth are knocked out or broken during a game or a practice, fillings and crowns come loose or crack, and that throbbing tooth pain you’ve had for a week suddenly gets worse.
Bridges
A dental bridge is another option for replacing teeth after an extraction. A dental bridge is a single or a set of prosthetic teeth that attaches to adjacent teeth on either side of a gap and sits on top of the gums.
Dental Bonding

Endodontics

Root Canal Treatment
Inside each of your teeth is a collection of soft connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves called the dental pulp, which helps to keep your teeth healthy during growth and development. Sometimes, as the result of genetics, poor dental hygiene, or injury, this dental pulp can become inflamed or infected, forming a pus-filled pocket at the tip of the tooth’s root called an abscess. Once this occurs, the only way to save the tooth is with root canal treatment.
Apicoectomy
An abscessed tooth is a tooth that has an infection at the root of the tooth. If it can’t be treated with procedures like a root canal or apicoectomy, you may need to have it extracted to prevent the infection from spreading.

Periodontics

Deep Cleaning
Spray, scrub, wipe repeat. It’s our new favorite sound. We’ve always been committed to the highest safety standards—but now deep cleaning is done before, during and after visits even in the lobby. Our teams are geared up (literally – watch the video) to sanitize equipment, chairs, tables, door handles, countertops etc. many times a day. And we don’t stop there. PPE (think masks, gloves, gowns, and face shields) is worn by everyone in the office. Even patients get to take part by keeping masks on at all times except when being treated and doing a good disinfecting rinse before and after care.

Prosthodontics

Dentures
For the millions of Americans missing some or all of their teeth, complete and partial dentures offer an affordable, non-surgical option for restoring the health and function of their smile. Missing teeth can affect more than just your aesthetics—they can also affect your overall health. Missing teeth have been linked to everything from advanced gum disease and bone loss to diabetes and heart disease.
Overdentures
—also called overdentures—are permanent prostheses attached to your gums via tiny titanium screws, or posts, that have been implanted into your jawbone to imitate tooth roots. Implant-supported dentures are more stable and fit more securely than removable ones, so they do not move when you talk or chew and do not require dental adhesive. They often look and feel more natural than conventional dentures.

Implants

Dental Implants
Dental implants are dental devices that serve to replace missing teeth. They may be necessary if a tooth has fallen out or had to be removed as a result of severe decay or damage.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Yes we do! Our OneSmile Dental Plan helps you save up to 20% – 40% off all dental services including, Cosmetic and Specialty such as periodontics, oral surgery, endodontics, orthodontics and pedodontics.
Jaw Surgery
Occlusion is the word used to describe the bite of the mouth or how the teeth fit together once the jaw is closed. Are the top teeth in front of or behind the bottom teeth? Are they touching? Your dentist will likely make a recommendation to an orthodontist if they suspect the occlusion could benefit from braces or jaw surgery.
Flap Surgery
Flap surgery is the process of surgically removing your gums from your tooth and removing the tartar that has built up below the gums and on the enamel. The surgeon will then stitch the gums back to the tooth once the area has been cleaned and disinfected.
Tooth Extractions
Dentists do everything they can to save a natural tooth, and tooth extraction is never a preferred course of action, but there are times when it is necessary to protect a patient’s overall health.

Orthodontics

Orthodontics
For those dental expenses that come up unexpectedly, or for more intensive treatment options like orthodontics, some patients may look to flexible payment plans to remediate the cost. Options include low money down and no interest, no money down and no interest, or extended terms up to 48 months with 14.9% interest rates. Discuss your financial concerns with your dentist to help come up with the best solution for your needs. From there, you can determine which option will be the best to take care of your teeth and your wallet.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment can benefit patients not only looking to cosmetically transform their smile, but also to enhance the health of their teeth. Using orthodontic treatment, patients can straighten their teeth which makes them much easier to clean, working as a way to prevent gum disease and cavities down the road. Choosing the right type of orthodontic treatment for you will depend on several factors, including your finances. Making the affordable choice to straighten your teeth doesn’t have to mean giving up other preferences such as visibility. Many patients are surprised to find how they can make the Invisalign treatment affordable.
Braces
An uneven smile can affect your confidence and keep you from sharing your best self. Braces are an orthodontic treatment that can help turn the smile you have into the straight, beautiful smile you deserve.

General

Teeth Whitening
A bright white smile can be one of your best accessories, but it can also be harder for some people to achieve than it is for others. When used as directed, off-the-shelf whitening toothpaste and whitening kits can whiten your teeth one to two shades brighter, but they’re just not enough to tackle deep, stubborn stains accumulated over a lifetime.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Dental veneers are just one of many cosmetic dentistry services offered at Bright Now! Dental, and with multiple retail locations, flexible scheduling, and easy payment options, we make getting the smile of your dreams fast, convenient, and affordable. We also offer a full complement of general and specialty dentistry services, including emergency and orthodontic, so you can keep your beautiful smile healthy for life.
General Dentistry
One of the easiest ways patients can save money is by taking advantage of coupons or promotions running at their closest Bright Now! Dental locations. These are great opportunities to receive a reduced rate on a service you’d normally be scheduling. Each promotion can vary depending on the office in your area, so it’s always best to check and see which ways you can save. From general dentistry services to even cosmetic services, the type of care you’ve been wanting can be affordable.
