Dental Examination

We recommend that you visit our Castle Rock, WA dental office regularly for dental exams, during which we’ll look for gum disease and make recommendations about your need for periodontal therapy. Gum disease therapy in Castle Rock is how we non-surgically treat mild to moderate periodontal disease.

X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Tens of thousands of people here in the United States are diagnosed with oral cancer every year, and an overwhelming number of these cases will end in premature death because their symptoms weren’t diagnosed early enough. Our team provides oral cancer screenings as an essential part of regular checkups for our patients’ safety, and we will alert you if we discover any concerning signs. Possible symptoms of cancerous cells include slow-healing oral sores, red or white spots in their soft tissue, and strange lumps and bumps.

Teeth Cleaning
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride provides a different kind of cavity protection. The outer layer of teeth is called enamel, and the stronger the enamel, the lower the risk of cavities – and fluoride strengthens tooth enamel. While your child should be using fluoridated dental care products at home, we can provide the extra boost of in-office fluoride treatments during children’s dentistry visits for even greater protection from cavities.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a dental rite of passage for children’s dentistry. When your child’s adult molars come in, we may coat the grooves in the chewing surfaces with white or tooth-colored material, which can prevent cavity-causing plaque from forming in the hard-to-clean crevices on the tops of molars. Dental sealants may be useful on your adult teeth too, so if you’re interested in the added cavity protection, ask us about them at your next checkup.

Fillings
Metal-free restorations allow for a more natural appearance. Instead of feeling embarrassed by your amalgam filling or crown, you can smile more confidently because your restoration will blend in seamlessly with the rest of your teeth.
Resin Composite
One of the greatest aspects of receiving tooth-colored fillings is that they can be completed in just one dental visit. Requiring very little time, Dr. Kennington will begin by matching the composite resin to your natural tooth shade to ensure a close match. He will then begin to clean out the decayed portions of your tooth and any debris before filling it with the composite resin.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are high-quality and very thin restorations. This allows our team to fit them in place over the front surfaces of natural teeth, beautifully transforming their appearance while still preserving much of the natural structure of your smile underneath. Veneers are highly versatile and can be used to correct chips, cracks, stains, gaps, misalignments, and more. Veneers may be used to adjust the size, shape, or length of certain teeth to make them more uniform.
Crowns
How long has it been since you’ve visited the dentist’s office for a checkup? If the answer is “more than six months,” we encourage you to visit us soon. These appointments are important because they allow a trusted dentist like Dr. Kennington to review your oral health and identify any current concerns that may have gone unnoticed during regular brushing and flossing. He will perform a thorough examination that involves each tooth, the gum tissue, the bite, the jaw, restorative work like crowns and fillings, and more. Following this process, our team will recommend and explain treatment options and help you choose a plan that you feel works best for you. We want to help you reach your goals.
Bridges
Having a gap in your smile can cause difficulties when trying to eat or speak. Not to mention the low self-esteem you might experience, especially if the location of missing teeth is visible to others. Fortunately, Cowlitz River Dental can use a dental bridge in Castle Rock to eliminate the extra space and revitalize your smile. With this tried-and-true restoration, Dr. Kennington can repair and restore your appearance and oral health for improved functionality. Contact us today if you want to schedule an appointment and discuss the possibility of receiving a dental bridge.
Dental Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is a less invasive, conservative dental treatment that is highly versatile at covering minor smile imperfections. Whether it is chips, cracks, stains, discoloration, or small gaps, the application process can be completed in just one visit.
Restorative Dentistry
Teeth are often damaged by decay, disease, or injury. For those with damaged smiles, restorative dentistry can provide a solution. With various restorative dentistry treatments offered at Cowlitz River Dental, from fixes for cavities to options for replacing missing teeth, we make sure that your smile can be as healthy and strong as possible. Dr. Kennington has evolved our Castle Rock, WA dental office over the years to provide technologically advanced restorative dentistry treatments, helping patients experience great smiles effectively, efficiently, and comfortably.

Root Canal Treatment
Endodontics is the dental specialty that focuses on treating diseases of the inside of the tooth. Root canal therapy is the most commonly performed endodontic treatment; other endodontic treatments include endodontic retreatment when a root canal therapy procedure has failed. Luckily, root canal therapy is typically successful at treating problems with severe decay and infected pulp. Because we're committed to offering a wide variety of dental care treatments, Cowlitz River Dental offers quality endodontic care like root canal therapy to help you return your smile to great health when damage has occurred.

Deep Cleaning

Dentures
Missing multiple teeth or an entire arch can make daily tasks feel impossible. Eating and speaking are often difficult, and smiling is often out of the question for many. If you are tired of living with an incomplete smile and are ready to embrace a better quality of life, let Dr. L. Blaine Kennington recommend dentures in Castle Rock. Considered one of the most reliable methods of tooth replacement, dentures have been around for centuries. Effective in their ability to restore oral function and appearance, these prosthetics continue to offer patients a second chance at a healthy, beautiful smile. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and learn more about your eligibility for dentures.
Overdentures
Overdentures: These snap into place over your dental implants but are removable, allowing you to not only more thoroughly clean your restoration but also have more confidence when eating or speaking.

Dental Implants
Dr. Kennington is a founding member (2009) of Advanced Dental Implant Studies (ADIS). ADIS is a group of about 70 dentists from across the country dedicated to furthering clinical implant dentistry. He meets in Atlanta four times each year to present, discuss, evaluate, and develop implant treatment techniques.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
When you’re considering who to trust with your oral healthcare, we encourage you to choose a dentist who is capable of performing the broadest array of oral healthcare treatments possible. At Cowlitz River Dental in Castle Rock, Washington, we offer various oral surgery procedures as part of our comprehensive dentistry practice. Our team has extensive education and experience in oral surgery, and our office employs some of the latest technology (such as cone beam 3D imaging) to help make oral surgery more successful and comfortable. With sedation dentistry options that include IV sedation, you can rest assured that your oral surgery from Dr. Kennington will be as comfortable as it will be effective.
Tooth Extractions
It is usually considered a rite of passage when teenagers and young adults between the ages of 16 and 22 have their wisdom teeth removed. While some individuals have no problems once these third molars erupt, most cases require oral surgery to prevent worsening oral health issues later on in life. Dr. Kennington is equipped with the right technology, skill, and experience to perform this common procedure in-house, so you can remain in one convenient location while allowing our team to improve the health and future of your smile. Contact us today to find out if you or your child may need to undergo wisdom tooth extraction in Castle Rock.
Bone Grafting
By incorporating bone grafting into your treatment plan, we can rebuild and repair the damage caused by gum disease by placing bone from another part of your mouth or use tissue from a donor bank. Once placed into the designated area, the new and existing bone will fuse and create healthier, stronger bone.

Orthodontics
Dr. Kennington of Cowlitz River Dental offers some of the most modern dental treatments available today. One of these modern dental treatments is Six Month Smiles. People like fast results and affordable treatments, and Six Month Smiles delivers. The revolutionary orthodontic method employed by Six Month Smiles will comfortably but quickly move your front teeth. Six Month Smiles costs less than traditional orthodontics, and because the Six Month Smiles system uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, they’re less noticeable.
Invisalign Orthodontics
If you’re suffering with crooked front teeth that are mostly a cosmetic nuisance, Six Month Smiles might be a good choice for your treatment. This method focuses on front teeth to make the process more effective and efficient. However, if you need more extensive transformation, you might want to consider Invisalign from Cowlitz River Dental. Our Castle Rock team will help you understand the best plan for your smile and help you choose the right orthodontic treatment.
Braces
If you’re suffering from debilitating jaw pain or worn tooth enamel that is causing sensitivity, it may be that you have a bite alignment issue. Even the slightest overbite, crossbite, open bite, or underbite can result in pain and discomfort. Invisalign clear braces, however, can change all that by moving your teeth in a way that creates a more perfectly aligned smile and minimizes the negative effects on your pearly whites and jaw joints.

Teeth Whitening
These days, everyone wants a dazzling smile. Research has shown how important appearance can be for self-confidence and attaining both professional and personal goals. Teeth whitening can be an easy way to improve your appearance, and at Cowlitz River Dental, we can help you with both in-office and take-home teeth whitening. Professional teeth whitening provided by a dentist is leaps and bounds above over-the-counter teeth whitening methods. If you’re preparing for a big event – a wedding, a job interview, a banquet, or the prom – consider a trip to Cowlitz River Dental in Castle Rock, Washington to explore your teeth whitening options.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Every dentist wants patients to experience excellent oral health. However, helping patients enjoy their smiles involves more than providing dental healthcare – it requires providing complete cosmetic dentistry too. Cosmetic dentistry has evolved over the decades as a popular branch of dental care, allowing people the opportunity to have smile makeovers that can dramatically improve their appearance and self-confidence. Cowlitz River Dental performs cosmetic dentistry, providing smile makeovers for our patients in southwestern Washington and northwestern Oregon. Contact us today to schedule your first appointment with Dr. Kennington.
General Dentistry
After graduating in 1984 from University of North Carolina School of Dentistry in Chapel Hill, Dr. Kennington was employed by Clinical Research Associates, now known as Clinician's Report. He was a dentist with the United States Air Force for 12 years, including a residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry from 1994 to 1996. He left the Air Force in 1998 to join a private practice in Mountain Home, Idaho. Dr. Kennington began his own private practice when he moved to Castle Rock, Washington in 2002.
