You don’t have to floss all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep! Remember, be true to your teeth or they will be false to you. The American Dental Association (ADA) advocates yearly check-ups and cleanings, and daily flossing and brushings. These measures go a long way toward preventing cavities and more serious dental problems, such as gingivitis, a gum disease that can lead to tooth loss.

Dr. Bedoya and his team treat their patients like family. I'm also extremely impressed with their professionalism, expertise, but also, the way Dr. Bedoya has an artistic approach to dental procedures ensuring you leave with a beautiful smile."
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride prevents tooth decay by strengthening enamel. Fluoride is also used to prevent tooth decay in people who undergo radiation of the head and/or neck, which may cause dryness of the mouth and an increased incidence of tooth decay.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are most often used with children to prevent cavities on the molars. These are hard to reach areas for young kids and sealants provide a protective shield that blocks out germs and food. Once applied, they can protect against 80% of cavities for up to 2 years.
The dental bonding procedure utilizes a composite resin to restore chipped or broken teeth, fill in gaps, and reshape or recolor your smile.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic material, which are bonded to the front of teeth. This procedure requires little or no anesthesia, and can be the ideal choice for improving the appearance of the front teeth. Porcelain veneers can mask undesirable defects like teeth staining from tetracycline, injury, or root-canals. This is an ideal method for masking discolored fillings in the front teeth. Highly resistant to permanent staining from coffee, tea, or even cigarette smoking, the wafer-thin porcelain veneers can achieve a tenacious bond to the tooth, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing naturalness that is unsurpassed by other restorative options. We offer and recommend Lumineers ™ for most patients. Lumineers are thinner and stronger than other forms of veneers and do not require drilling.
Crowns
A crown can restore the shape to teeth that have been broken, suffered extensive decay or been worn down. They can also be used to strengthen a weak tooth or add beauty to a discolored or misshapen smile. Crowns can be gold, porcelain or a combination of porcelain over metal.
Bridges
Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap – these two anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth – and a false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.
Root canal treatment removes the pulp from the center of a tooth when decay will likely damage or has already killed the tooth. It is done to prevent the development of a painful infection in the pulp that may spread to other teeth and to treat an infection that has developed into an abscessed tooth. This procedure can relieve toothache, stop infection, and promote healing.
A gingivectomy is the total removal of a portion of gingiva (gum) from in and around a tooth or teeth to treat gum disease. At Dedicated Dental, we generally use laser technology to reduce bleeding and decrease healing time. The laser is used to remove and cauterize the gum and then sutures are used to reattach the remaining gums.
Implants are very durable and will last many years. They require the same “maintenance” as real teeth, including brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups. Dental implants can help restore almost anyone’s smile even if natural teeth have been lost to injury or disease.
Your wisdom teeth are four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth on the top and bottom. For some, these teeth grow in without issue. However, if a wisdom tooth doesn’t have room to grow it can become impacted and result in pain, infection or other dental problems and will need to be removed to alleviate those symptoms.
Bone Grafting
This procedure is generally performed when periodontitis has destroyed the bone surrounding your tooth root. Bone grafting uses either your own bones, donated bones or synthetic material. Bone grafting helps hold your tooth in place to prevent tooth loss. It also encourages regrowth of the natural bone.
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. Overcrowding, placement of braces, and teeth that are severely broken or damaged by decay and cannot be repaired may require tooth extraction.
Tooth whitening can be performed to reduce discoloration and staining, or simply to correct discoloration of the teeth by removing the brown and yellow staining. The term “teeth whitening” can refer to a number of techniques to improve the brightness of the patient’s teeth. Among them are chemical whitening, mild acid whitening, abrasive teeth brightening and the newest technique, laser teeth whitening.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry can help create or restore a beautiful smile and prevent long-term damage to the structure of your mouth.
