Dental Examination
Step 1: Examination and Diagnosis consists of a comprehensive oral examination, complete x-rays, diagnostic casts, and sometimes panorex x-rays, a CT scan, and photographs.
X-rays
Teeth cleaning (also known as prophylaxis, literally a preventative treatment of a disease) is a procedure for the removal of tartar (mineralized plaque) that may develop even with careful brushing and flossing, especially in areas that are difficult to reach in routine toothbrushing. Professional cleaning includes tooth scaling and tooth polishing and debridement if too much tartar has accumulated. This involves the use of various instruments or devices to loosen and remove deposits from the teeth. Dr. Pollard and our dental hygienist, Tracy, recommend having the teeth professionally cleaned every six months. More frequent cleaning and examination may be necessary depending on each patients' individual needs and desires. Routine examination of the teeth is recommended at least every year. This may include yearly, select dental X-rays. Good oral hygiene helps to prevent cavities, tartar build-up, and gum disease, and we will work with you to achieve the healthiest condition possible.

Teeth Cleaning
Fluoride Treatment
When Is Fluoride Intake Most Critical? It is certainly important for infants and children between the ages of 6 months and 16 years to be exposed to fluoride. This is the timeframe during which the primary and permanent teeth come in. However, adults benefit from fluoride, too. New research indicates that topical fluoride -- from toothpastes, mouth rinses, and fluoride treatments -- are as important in fighting tooth decay as in strengthening developing teeth.

Fillings
Resin Composite
Chipped crown. Crowns made of all porcelain can sometimes chip. If the chip is small, a composite resin can be used to repair the chip with the crown remaining in your mouth. If the chipping is extensive, the crown may need to be replaced.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are one of the more exciting developments in restorative dentistry, allowing us to place a thin sheath of material on the outside surface of a tooth, rather than covering the whole tooth. They, like all ceramic crowns, are made of a translucent substance, and are permanently bonded to the front of a tooth, allowing for a beautiful, long lasting restoration. They, like all ceramic crowns, can also hide badly stained or malposed teeth, and can be used to fill in gaps between teeth. They can restore symmetry and beauty to a smile, and improve a patient’s self esteem and sense of well being. Contact us now for information.
Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth -- to cover the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance.
Bridges
Dental Bonding
Restorative Dentistry
Another exciting advancement in restorative dentistry is the arrival of tooth colored fillings. Prior to their arrival, dentists were forced to use dark, unesthetic metallic fillings in the back teeth. Nowadays, we can repair decayed teeth with a material that mimics tooth enamel in its translucency, color, and texture, and can also be bonded to the tooth to add to its overall strength. Get in touch with us today if you want more information on this exciting procedure.

Root Canal Treatment
First Visit: Examining and preparing the tooth. At the first visit in preparation for a crown, Dr. Pollard may take a few X-rays to check the roots of the tooth receiving the crown and surrounding bone. If the tooth has extensive decay or if there is a risk of infection or injury to the tooth's pulp, a root canal treatment may first be performed. Before the process of making a crown begins, Dr., Pollard will anesthetize (numb) the tooth and the gum tissue around the tooth. Next, the tooth receiving the crown is filed down along the chewing surface and sides to make room for the crown. The amount removed depends on the type of crown used (for instance, all-metal crowns are thinner and require less tooth structure removal than all-porcelain or porcelain-fused-to-metal ones). If, on the other hand, a large area of the tooth is missing (due to decay or damage), your dentist will use filling material to "build up" the tooth to support the crown. After reshaping the tooth, Dr. Pollard will use a paste or putty to make an impression of the tooth to receive the crown. Impressions of the teeth above and below the tooth to receive the dental crown will also be made to make sure that the crown will not affect your bite. The impressions are sent to a dental lab where the crown will be manufactured. The crown is usually returned to our office office in two to three weeks. If the crown is made of porcelain, we will also select the shade that most closely matches the color of the neighboring teeth. During this first office visit we will make a temporary crown to cover and protect the prepared tooth while the crown is being made. Temporary crowns usually are made of acrylic and are held in place using a temporary cement.

Periodontal Surgery
Deep Cleaning

Dentures
Aesthetics, because the presence of teeth gives a natural appearance to the face, and wearing a denture to replace missing teeth provides support for the lips and cheeks and corrects the collapsed appearance that results from the loss of teeth.
Overdentures
What Are dental implants? A natural tooth consists of a crown (the part you see above the gum), and the root (the part hidden under the gum). It is the root in the jawbone that actually holds the natural tooth in place. A dental implant is a small man-made titanium fixture that serves as a replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. Titanium is used because it is the most compatible with our human body. The dental implant is placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw and functions as an anchor for the replacement tooth. After the bone has grown around the implant, implants can hold a crown, bridge or overdenture just like roots hold natural teeth in place.

Dental Implants
Dr. Pollard and staff can replace missing teeth with conventional bridgework, attaching the bridge to either natural teeth or implants. All Ceramic bridges can be utilized in some areas of the mouth to afford the best in natural looking restorations.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Flap Surgery
Gum Surgery
How complicated is the surgery? As stated above, implant surgery is done in two steps. The first step, placement into the jaw bone, is most commonly done with just local anesthesia. It is generally not a complicated procedure but the surgery requires great precision. Dr. Pollard’s staff is trained in aseptic surgical technique, and the room is set up similar to an operating room. Every attempt is made to insure success, including complete sterilization of equipment, whilst utilizing the most modern techniques. Step two, which involves the uncovering of the implants after they have osseointegrated (fused), is a relatively minor gum surgery procedure, requiring only local anesthesia also. Both steps entail minor postoperative discomfort, and you will be given the indicated antibiotics and pain medications. Dr. Pollard’s staff will give you written instructions to follow after the appointments, and if followed will result in very few complications.

Orthodontics
Dr. Pollard is a member of the Lynchburg Dental Society, the Virginia Dental Association, and the American Dental Association. He is an alumnus of the L.D. Pankey Institute; he holds a certificate in orthodontics from the United States Dental Institute, and he holds a certificate from the Medical College of Georgia in Implantology. Membership in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) at the Fellow level, and membership in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) at the Associate Fellow level demonstrate his proficiency in implantology. Dr. Pollard is the only dentist in this part of the state to have achieved this degree of recognition in the AAID, with the only other dentists to have done so in the Richmond, tidewater, and NOVA areas. He holds an Advanced Cardiac Life Support certificate from the American Heart Association. He is also a member of the dental staff at local hospitals, Lynchburg General and Virginia Baptist, where he holds operating room privileges. Dr. Pollard willingly and freely gives of his time at the Free Clinic of Central Virginia, and is an Adjunct Professor of Dentistry at the Medical College of Virginia. Dr. Pollard also possesses an FAA multi-engine and instrument flight instructor certificate.
Braces
Presence of crowns and/or bridges or braces: These treatments can put teeth at risk for decay at the point where the crown meets the underlying tooth structure or around the brackets of orthodontic appliances.

Teeth Whitening
One of the least expensive and rapid ways to improve your smile is to utilize the technique of whitening, using the well known and very popular Opalescence system. Badly stained teeth resulting from the use of coffee, tea, tobacco, and cola drinks can now be safely whitened to a dazzling level using this simple system. If you want a movie star smile contact us now.
