Dental Examination

Dental Sealants
Sealants are used to keep food and plaque out of the deep grooves of your, or your children’s, back teeth. They do not require anesthetic, and they can help prevent tooth decay when they are done properly. They are not a “guarantee,” but they are especially helpful for teeth that have a deep-grooved, gnarly groove pattern on them.

Fillings
Veneers
Or another example: Dana wanted porcelain veneers for a pretty smile, and that’s what she got. But her smile was a home run out of the ballpark because of some limited invisible orthodontics (with Crozats, not the over-used Invisalign®) to widen her dental arches first. Tell us your goals, and we’ll help you find your best options.
Crowns
A crown takes care of a tooth by covering most or all of the biting surface. It circles around the tooth to add strength, and it can be made to preserve what you value about your tooth. We do not plug patients into a CAD/CAM machine to make one-size-fits-all type of crown for our patients. Instead, Steve Hockel, in Hockel Dental Lab, makes our crowns on-site.
Bridges
When one or more teeth are missing, a fixed bridge is one option to replace them. This is not the kind that some people think of, one that is removable by the patient. A fixed bridge is like two crowns with a replacement (“false”) tooth connected between them. The whole bridge is cemented in place and is not intended to come out. Bridges can look very natural, and can be strong and durable. If you want to floss next to the replacement tooth, however, it requires special use of a floss threader.
Restorative Dentistry
7. We make use of our background in cosmetic and restorative dentistry to widen our view of orthodontic goals, which allows us to consider various ways to blend orthodontic considerations with the capabilities of cosmetic, restorative, and prosthetic dentistry.

Dentures
When several or all teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing, removable dentures are an option to replace them. When all the teeth are missing, the denture is called a “complete” denture. When some teeth remain, and some are replaced, the denture is called a “partial” denture. Sometimes these are just called “partials.” Complete and partial dentures are the most cost-effective way to replace multiple teeth. They can be very esthetic, they work well for chewing (though not as well as natural teeth!), and they can be cleaned thoroughly by removing them. The drawback, compared to other options, is the inconvenience of needing to remove them after every time you eat to clean them and maintain a healthy mouth. But many people find dentures a life-changing way to look their best, to be able to eat well, and to enjoy life smiling with a full set of nice teeth.

Dental Implants
Implants are a great way to replace missing teeth. They involve placing a titanium metal part where the root of the missing tooth used to be. After a matter of months, it bonds to the jaw bone so strongly that we can fasten a tooth to it. This replacement tooth is very strong, and does not depend on neighboring teeth for support. It’s much easier to floss than the teeth on bridges. While an implant may take some patience initially, it is a great way to give you back chewing ability and a beautiful smile.

Braces
We treat many kids and adults with conventional braces and other techniques with the goal of “straight teeth.” Even though we believe there’s a cure for bite problems, and we have a very unique approach to orthodontics, we also see the value of a smile that looks its best. Our approach focuses on individual attention, and much more hands-on treatment by the doctor, when necessary. We are not a “braces mill.” We do not mind the parent accompanying the kids during their appointment, should the parent desire. We get to know our patients throughout the course of treatment, and they often become like family by the time they are finished.

Cosmetic Dentistry
With our expertise both in orthodontics as well as in restorative/cosmetic dentistry, fixing and replacing teeth, we have a unique ability to help you find the best options for your needs. Sometimes, it’s best to move teeth a little (or a lot!) before restoring them. Other times, it’s best to restore teeth and not move them at all. Since we’re experts in both kinds of care, we do not have to refer you either for outside consultations to determine your options or for your treatment. As an example, our patient Connor’s mom thought he needed braces. All he needed was some simple bonded resin restorations to look great.
General Dentistry
General dentistry is the aspect of our practice where we help you prevent dental disease and other problems, help you get well when it is present, and help you restore your mouth to look, feel and function at its best. Isn’t life better that way? We can help you by restoring teeth that are broken down, and replacing them when they’re missing. We can help keep your gums healthy, doing our part during hygiene appointments and teaching you to do your part at home. The healthy life of the body depends on the mouth being healthy too! It’s an honor to be your general dentist, and to reassure you when you have your exam that everything’s OK. We take our responsibility in this partnership to care for your health very seriously.
