Regular dental cleanings and exams are an important part of maintaining a happy, healthy smile. Dental cleanings help remove plaque from areas that are difficult for patients to clean thoroughly with a toothbrush, which reduces their chances of developing tooth decay and gum disease. Exams are also helpful for diagnosing and treating dental issues in a timely manner. Ready to schedule your next visit with us? We’re ready to see you! Contact our office today.
X-rays
A panoramic x-ray provides a very broad view of teeth, jaws, sinuses, jaw joints and nasal areas. They are not designed to find cavities like other x-rays. Rather, they reveal problems such as impacted teeth, bone abnormalities and fractures, infections, cysts or tumors. Because of this, they are a staple technology in any oral or maxillofacial practice. Panoramic x-rays provide an accurate and trusted diagnosis so that the most viable treatment plans can be executed.
Oral Cancer Screening
We have a genuine concern for your overall health and well-being. It’s because of this that we invest in state-of-the-art oral cancer screening technology to ensure your health for life.
I have hated going to the dentist most of my life. In the past, I have experienced pain during any treatment including x-rays and teeth cleaning. This dental office is different; my experience with Stephanie and Stacy was excellent. They both truly cared about how I felt during every stage of my care. The ladies at the front desk are a perfect mix of professional, friendly and fast. Meeting Dr. Ryan was a positive experience and I will return for my dental care very soon. Having confidence in Dr. Ryan and his staff is so appreciated by this scary-cat patient.
Fluoride Treatment
While not all dental extractions or other restorative services can be avoided completely, there are a few things you can do to try to avoid needing one or more teeth removed. Visiting our office regularly for routine cleanings and exams and maintaining optimal oral health at home can help to keep tooth decay at bay. Other preventive services like fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and custom mouthguards can further protect the teeth from damage. Should you ever need a gentle dental extraction, however, our team would be more than happy to assist.
Dental Sealants
Preventive treatment in dentistry allows teeth to stay as healthy as possible. Sealants are a common and popular option in preventing tooth decay and fighting plaque buildup, allowing patients to keep their natural teeth for as long as possible. Our team at Ryan Dental offers sealants to ensure the longevity of teeth. If you’re interested in dental sealants, please give our office a call to learn more or schedule a consultation!
Gold Fillings are custom-made in a laboratory and then cemented into place. Gold inlays are well-tolerated by gum tissues and may last more than 20 years.
Resin Composite
When it comes to applying your veneers, there’s both a direct and indirect method. The direct option uses a composite resin that’s bonded to the front of your teeth. The indirect method is more involved since the veneers are fabricated at a dental laboratory in order to more closely match the rest of your teeth. These will generally be made from high quality materials like porcelain that will have a stunning, natural appearance. After they come back from the lab, some of the enamel on your teeth will be removed and the veneers will be bonded to your visible teeth to guarantee they’ll be long-lasting.
Veneers
If you’re unhappy with the overall appearance of your smile, veneers can be an ideal solution. They’re a cosmetic procedure that’s capable of correcting multiple esthetic issues at once. At Ryan Dental, we want you to have a smile you’ll be proud to show off. If you’d like to learn more about veneers, or schedule a consultation, reach out to our team today! Schedule Consultation
Crowns
Thanks to advances in dental technology, crowns no longer have to be a weeks-long process. CAD/CAM technology makes it possible to create and place a crown in one day.
Bridges
A dental bridge can fill space created by missing teeth. Bridges can replace the missing teeth both functionally and cosmetically, allowing the patient to resume regular activity. If you’re wondering if bridges are the right option for you, feel free to contact our office, and we can offer more information or get a consultation scheduled for you.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dental care services can restore or treat teeth that are damaged, decayed, or missing. Restorative dentistry is critical in maintaining a functional and beautiful smile. At Ryan Dental, we offer restorative dentistry services for our patients to walk out of our office with a better and bigger smile than before. To learn more about our restorative dentistry options or schedule an appointment, contact us today!
Some patients are anxious when it comes to scheduling root canal treatments, but root canals are actually quite similar to having a cavity filled from the patient's perspective. Our compassionate team works hard to help patients have pleasant and positive experiences in our office, no matter the procedure. To learn more or schedule your next visit with our office, please give us a call or send us a message through our contact form!
Periodontal treatment typically involves containing the infection through deep cleaning like scaling and root planing, clearing buildup at the root of the teeth. The dentist may also suggest specific toothpastes and mouth rinses. We may also prescribe antibiotics to fight infections. Surgery is required for the most severe cases.
Dentures are not maintained the same way that natural teeth are. Dentures need to be removed and brushed every night before bed to remove plaque buildup and bacteria. They then need to be soaked in a denture solution to keep them moist. Should your denture dry out, the custom shape may end up warped, and then it will need to be repaired or replaced. Soaking dentures also helps to keep them extra clean, and patients tend to find that it is more comfortable to take them out before going to bed.
Overdentures
Looking for a restorative method that can replace a full arch of teeth? Overdentures offer the ability to replace many missing teeth at once, and they provide the same stability as dental implants. If missing teeth have been holding you back from living your life the way that you want to, we invite you to schedule a consultation with our office. We’ll help you determine if overdentures are the right choice for your smile. Contact our office today!
Missing teeth can be difficult to deal with, not just in terms of eating and speaking, but in social situations as well. Our team at Ryan Dental understands the frustrations that missing teeth can cause, and we love helping patients feel great about their smiles again using our dental implant services. If you are tired of missing teeth holding you back from living your life to the fullest, get in touch with our team today, and we can assess your smile and see if dental implants are the right treatment for you!
The best choice for you will depend on a few different factors, like your needs, preferences, budget, oral health, and lifestyle, and we recommend scheduling a consultation with your dentist to discuss your treatment plan. Dentures can be a great option for patients who are not candidates for dental implants or patients who do not want to alter or remove healthy teeth or undergo oral surgery. If you have any questions or concerns about financing the cost of your dentures, our office can assist you with that as well.
Tooth Extractions
Ryan Dental offers gentle and efficient dental extractions, including wisdom tooth extractions. We always want our patients to keep their natural teeth as often as possible, but sometimes removing one or more teeth is the best way for the patient to restore their oral health. To learn more about our extraction services or schedule an appointment with us, please give our office a call or send us a message, and we’ll be in touch with you shortly!
Orthodontistry is the art of using special appliances to straighten and align the teeth and bite. You may be more familiar with orthodontics if we use the word braces. Braces are the most common orthodontic treatment. At Ryan Dental, we cover the basics for our patients to achieve a new smile, don't hesitate to give our office a call to see what we can do to help you get a straighter, more beautiful smile.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign aligners are known for being practically invisible, and the patented plastic material used to make each aligner is comfortable on the teeth and gums, even for hours at a time. Invisalign aligners are also completely removable, which means patients have an easier time cleaning both their aligners and their teeth. After you remove your aligner, you're free to enjoy your favorite foods and activities as well. Invisalign offers efficient treatment plans, and on average, patients can expect their entire treatment to take as little as 12 to 18 months.
Braces
Braces are a tool that orthodontists use to straighten and align the teeth. Besides your teeth, your bite will also get corrected, allowing for dental health to be improved. In this method, arch wires are threaded through brackets that bond to the surface of the teeth. The arch wires act as a track and guide each tooth to its proper position.
Laser dentistry is an important advancement in dental technology, treating a wide range of dental and cosmetic problems from cavities to gum disease. Hard tissue lasers are used to repair cavities, remove old fillings and prepare teeth for bonding. Soft tissue lasers are used on gum tissue. They are an alternative to the common hand-held scalpel, drills, or other tools. Lasers can even be used for teeth whitening.
Cosmetic Dentistry
While orthodontics and braces are part of cosmetic dentistry, braces can be vital to your oral health. Braces can correct more than just the appearance of the teeth. Braces also can correct crowding of the teeth, speech difficulties, or even bite issues. Correcting these things can result in a much easier time flossing and enjoying life. If you struggle with one of these or your teeth are visibly crooked, you may need braces.
