- Dental ExaminationA dental check-up will involve an oral exam as part of the comprehensive care you expect. If it is your very first visit, expect a thorough oral exam in the process of getting to know you, your history and your current dental status.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer Screening
- Teeth CleaningWhile it is part of your daily routine to brush and floss at home, the professional teeth cleaning performed by our certified dental hygienist in our office is essential to prevent gum disease and reduce the risk of decay from the hidden bacteria that continues to do damage to your teeth if left alone.
- Fluoride TreatmentHowever, adults benefit from fluoride, too. New research indicates that topical fluoride -- from toothpastes, mouth rinses, and fluoride treatments -- are as important in fighting tooth decay as in strengthening developing teeth.
- FillingsThe day of the amalgam fillings are just about over. The metal filling traditionally used in the past has been widely
- Resin CompositeReplaced with composite resin fillings. The composite filling is a durable tooth colored resin that can fill any restored area of the tooth. The material is easy to pack and form to the natural shape of the tooth. A curing light hardens the material within seconds.
- VeneersVeneers are custom-made tooth-colored covers that are put on top of miss-shaped or discolored teeth. A porcelain veneer is a lab produced thin cover that is cemented into place. The beautiful tooth colored shell changes everything about the tooth’s appearance. Color, size, shape and length are all made perfect to the individuals smile.
- CrownsA crown is a cover for a tooth that is in a weakened state. The tooth shaped cover is cemented onto the tooth to protect it as well as to make it look better. The crown is made to fully cover the tooth and sit just above the gum line.
- BridgesMaintaining crowns and bridges is imperative to oral health. The gum tissue needs to be kept clean just as the rest of the mouth does. Inter-proximal brushes and flossing are keys to keeping the restorations in a healthy state. Bone and gum levels need to be kept healthy to maintain the restorations and the adjoining teeth. Keeping up with routine preventative visits is also important in keeping crowns and bridges in a strong and healthy state.
- Root Canal TreatmentIf the tooth has in deed died and needs a root canal Dr. Young and his staff are highly qualified to perform the procedure right in the office. He is an expert at the complicated procedure and will help you feel good about the whole process. The pulp of the tooth will need to be removed and that is a procedure that needs to be completed quickly. Pain is controlled to the fullest extent. If the infected pulp is left inside the tooth bacteria can grow and cause an abscess. Abscesses are no joke and can get out of hand quickly, so the pulp must be cleaned out completely.
- Deep CleaningIf you have periodontal disease, a deep cleaning is necessary to return your gums to a healthy state. During a deep cleaning, our certified dental hygienist will apply ultrasonic irrigation strategy together with root planing and scaling to clean between gums and teeth, down to the roots to eliminate periodontal disease.
- DenturesThe world of dentures has come a long way. Modern dentures used are prosthetic appliances that can be either full are partial according to the patients needs. A full set of dentures are usually needed when there are no teeth available for any appliance to clasp onto. Usually the need for a full set of dentures is determined to be best when there is extensive decay in which other treatment options can no longer be used. When all the necrotic teeth are gone bone levels are able to stabilize which is what the completed dentures will grip onto. An impression of the mouth is made so that the denture plate fits perfect to the patients mouth. Some patients can retain some of their teeth and keep them in good health. In this instance a partial denture can be made that is fixed permanently to the adjoining teeth or as a precision (removable) denture.
- Dental ImplantsThe world of dental implants is amazing technology. Teeth need each other for support. Missing teeth can cause alignments to shift. This can upset the bite and cause other problems to arise. Dental implants look a lot like a screw that is surgically implanted into the jawbone. The jaw heals around the implant making the situation a lot more stable than it would be with a missing tooth. The area of an extraction or lost tooth can cave in slightly if nothing is put in the place of it. This can cause the face to in fact cave in as well. The sunk in mid-face from missing teeth can age our appearance drastically. The implant will not only hold the space and support the surrounding teeth, a beautifully matching tooth will have you smiling with confidence. With the smile being so important missing or damaged teeth can make it hard to smile with confidence socially or other wise.
- Tooth ExtractionsSimple extractions are easy and most patients do well with them. Dr. Young and his staff make the procedure easy and as pain free as possible. The tooth to be extracted is surrounded with local anesthesia so the patient doesn’t feel anything more than mild pressure.
- OrthodonticsNo two children are alike in growth and development. Some get teeth early and some get them late. Unfortunately some children develop irregularities in the dentition or bite that needs to be handled with limited orthodontics. Excessive crowding at an early age will surely be a sign of excessive crowding later on down the line. The need for intervention for children will enable growth and guidance that can prevent the jaw from growing to a point where there are skeletal or worn enamel issues later on in life.

- BracesTraditional braces use metal wires, brackets and bands to move teeth into perfect alignment. Over time the health of the mouth can be compromised because good oral hygiene is hard to maintain, especially for children.
