- Dental ExaminationIf you are unsure whether your symptoms are due to gum disease, our team can perform an evaluation during your dental exam. Our non-surgical treatment options can help to improve your oral and overall health, reducing the risk of serious systemic diseases such as heart disease. To schedule an appointment, call us directly at (706) 563-3225 or send us a message online.
- X-raysThese two-dimensional X-rays capture both rows of teeth and the entire mouth in just one image. They also require a substantially lower level of radiation than their traditional X-rays. Since they’re digital, these X-rays are high-quality and immediately accessible, making for an even more convenient visit to our Columbus practice.
- Teeth CleaningRather than researching a new specialist and traveling to meet them, you can receive everything from simple dental cleanings to professional root canal treatment at our Columbus office.
- Fluoride TreatmentPreventive care is the foundation of a healthy, beautiful smile. By scheduling routine checkups and cleanings at our practice every six months, you allow our oral care professionals to spot concerns at their earliest stages. In addition, we can also use sealants and fluoride treatments.
- Dental SealantsIf minor cavities are found during your cleaning, they can be filled at that time or during a second appointment. If you are at greater risk of developing cavities, one of our doctors may also recommend sealants, fluoride rinse, or other preventative treatments. If you experience dental phobia, our Columbus office offers nitrous oxide sedation to help patients feel more comfortable during treatment.
- FillingsContains no mercury: Traditional amalgam fillings contain mercury, whereas composite fillings are comprised of acrylic resin and powdered glass filler.
- Resin CompositeCavities can not only affect the form and function of your smile, but they can cause more widespread damage if left untreated. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, 92 percent of adults will develop a cavity at some point in their lifetime. To address dental decay, Dr. Brett Helton offers white fillings at their practice in Columbus, GA. Using a color-matched composite resin, our team can restore the strength and integrity of your smile.
