Dr. Scott Taylor, DDS

Dental Examination
Dr. Scott Taylor believes strongly in regularly performing visual oral exams. In addition to checking your teeth, he inspects your jaws, gums, and soft tissues. Dr. Taylor has training in early oral cancer detection and has helped some of his patients by identifying these signs while the cancers were still treatable.
X-rays
Dr Taylor is highly knowledgeable about dental materials and can help you understand what materials might be in your existing restorations by reviewing your dental X-rays. But even with X-rays there are limitations in the ability to identify the materials in your mouth. For example, there may be mercury fillings hiding under crowns or a number of base metals used in metal or porcelain fused to metal crowns.

Teeth Cleaning
Dental cleanings (prophylaxis) are typically recommended twice a year, depending on your periodontal health. Our cleaning paste is flouride free, gluten free, and free of flavors, dyes and oils. Regular cleanings help to support healthy gums and teeth by removing bacteria and bacterial “housing” between the gums and teeth. This is also an time when our skilled hygienist can note any changes in your teeth, gums and soft tissue in between exams by Dr. Taylor.
Fluoride Treatment
The ADA (American Dental Association) supports the belief that fluoride use -- particularly when ingested internally -- prevents tooth decay. Is this accurate... and at what risk? Here is what the Fluoride Action Network has to say about it. Key Findings - Fluoride & Tooth Decay (Caries) According to the current consensus view … [Read More...]

Fillings
You are not alone. Amalgam fillings are approximately %50 mercury. The safety of mercury fillings is currently one of the most controversial questions among dentists and patients. As a young dental graduate, Dr. Scott had the same questions, so he became educated on the topic, dedicating his time to learning about the effects of dental mercury. He now tries to share his findings with his patients, colleagues and community. Use our Safe Mercury Removal Dental Guide to understand how to protect yourself from dental mercury vapor.
Veneers
A veneer is a thin layer of Porcelain that is customized to fit like a shell over your natural tooth. They are mainly placed on front teeth to improve the aesthics of your smile. We use veneers when patients want to improve the appearance of gaps between teeth, miss-shapen, permanetly stained, or broken/chipped teeth. The procedure can usually be completed in two visits.
Crowns
A dental crown restores a tooth that’s decayed, cracked, or badly chipped. As a biological dentist, Dr. Taylor is concerned with the materials we place in your mouth. Dr. Taylor favors non-metal restorations.
Bridges
Dental Bonding
The advantage to using bonding for cosmetic purposes is that it Dr. Taylor only removes little, if any, of the original tooth. Additional benefits to composite bonding include shorter treatment time, relatively inexpensive and natural looking results.

Root Canal Treatment
There are times that the tooth can not be saved and needs to be replaced. In most cases, teeth can be replaced with an artificial tooth called an implant. The implant attaches directly to your jaw bone, similar to a natural tooth. It is durable, attractive, and with proper placement — can last for decades. Dr. Taylor is educated and experienced in implant placement. Implants can be used as an alternative treatment for failing root canals. Also, Dr. Taylor can place implants as an anchor for bridges or under your existing dentures so they’ll work more like natural teeth!

Dental Implants
Metal-free Swiss Implant technology. Ceramic (Zirconia) implants are extremely similar to the condition of real teeth and tooth roots, they are highly bio-compatible and are tolerated very well by the gingiva.

Orthodontics
Invisalign Orthodontics
Swollen, red gums can often be the result of having teeth that are crowded or too widely spaced. Unfortunately, these are also signs of periodontal disease. When teeth are properly aligned, it helps the gums fit more securely around the teeth, allowing for the strongest and healthiest defense against potential periodontal problems. Dr. Taylor uses Invisalign orthodontic treatment to gently and gradually begin to move your teeth into the proper position – without using metal brackets and wires.
Braces
One of the biggest challenges of having braces is removing all the food that gets trapped in the brackets and wires. This can often lead to plaque buildup and eventually tooth decay. With Invisalign, the aligners are removable, so it’s easy to continue brushing and flossing your teeth the way you normally do.

Teeth Whitening
Dr. Taylor has found, though, that in many cases simple whitening and small aesthetic adjustments with less invasive composite material or “bonding” can yield dramatic results.
