- Dental ExaminationThe exact cause of TMD is difficult to pinpoint because the symptoms are often related to other problems. Our doctor will review your medical and dental histories, as well as conduct a comprehensive examination to help make a proper diagnosis. Your exam may include x-rays, CBCT scans, and 3D imaging.
- X-raysAt ComfortCare Dental, we use digital x-rays, which have several advantages over traditional film-based x-rays. Digital x-rays allow us to take x-rays with 1/5 of the radiation that you would receive from traditional dental x-rays. The worry of exposure to excess radiation is eliminated.
- Oral Cancer ScreeningThe American Dental Association (ADA) recommends a routine check-up up roughly twice a year. A routine appointment with will typically include a professional cleaning and a detailed examination of your teeth, gums, and other oral tissues. We may also recommend an oral cancer screening for our older patients.
- Teeth CleaningDental cleaning involves getting rid of the hidden tartar in your mouth. We may take a small ultrasonic device to remove the excess plaque from the surface of the teeth. We may also use scalers to scrape off the tartar from between your teeth and beneath the gum line.
- Fluoride TreatmentIn the last 50 years or so, modern dentistry has shifted from treating problems to preventing them. At ComfortCare Dental, we offer preventive services to keep you and your family's oral health in pristine condition. One of these services, fluoride treatment, is an important part of any child’s tooth development.
- Dental SealantsSometimes, the best way to maintain the cosmetics of your smile is to prevent potential problems. At ComfortCare Dental, we offer dental sealants to protect teeth from decay, which in turn, preserves the aesthetics of your smile.
- FillingsFor many decades, cavities were filled with amalgam. Still used today, amalgam is very strong material. However, it does have some major disadvantages. It is silver in color, which makes it stand out against the rest of the tooth (which can ruin the aesthetics of your smile). It contains both metals and mercury. Many dental patients are uncomfortable with the idea of mercury in their fillings. Amalgam fillings also require drilling more of the tooth’s structure away than just the decay.
- Resin CompositeComposite dental fillings are different. Composite resin, a mixture of fine glass, plastic, and other materials, is used to fill in the cavity. The material is not as strong as amalgam (although it can stand up to most normal daily wear and tear), but it does blend in beautifully with your enamel, making it ideal for cavities that affect the teeth visible when you smile.
- VeneersVeneers: Veneers are thin dental shells that look like teeth. They classify as an aesthetic dentistry procedure and can help improve the visual appeal of the teeth. They are ideal for people who have multiple teeth with fillings and want to improve the look and beauty of your smile.
- CrownsAt ComfortCare Dental, we only offer the very best in aesthetic and durable restorations. This includes porcelain crowns. Thanks to advances in technology, porcelain has become the preferred material when it comes to cosmetics. Porcelain can be textured and shaped to match the appearance of natural enamel. It also possesses the same light-scattering properties as natural enamel. For these reasons and more, a porcelain crown can be used for both restorative and cosmetic reasons.
- BridgesUnfortunately, tooth loss is a part of life for millions of Americans. If you are missing one or more teeth, you may be wondering what to do next. At ComfortCare Dental, we specialize in a number of tooth replacement solutions, including dental bridges. Regardless of which restoration you choose, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. A missing tooth can lead to more serious complications later down the line. Your remaining teeth may shift out of their proper position to accommodate the open space, leading to a malocclusion, or misalignment in your bite.
- Dental BondingPatients looking for a less-invasive and more cost-effective solution may benefit from dental bonding. Dental bonding involves the application of composite resin, a putty-like material, to the surface of an aesthetically displeasing tooth. For example, dental bonding is an excellent solution for minor chips or cracks. During the procedure, the composite resin will be color-matched to the existing shade of your enamel, making it virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your tooth.
- Restorative DentistryAt ComfortCare Dental, our goal is to prevent dental problems before they occur. Unfortunately, this is not always possible due to poor oral hygiene, genetics, infrequent checkups, and other risk factors. This is why we also specialize in restorative dentistry. Our restorative services are designed to improve the function and aesthetics of your smile, as well as your overall oral health.
- Root Canal TreatmentA root canal may be necessary to save a tooth that is severely infected. Despite common misconceptions, there is no need to worry about your root canal procedure, especially here at ComfortCare Dental. Thanks to advances in technology and techniques, root canal treatment is virtually painless and relatively comfortable. Your root canal should relieve any pain you have due to an infection and restore your tooth to a healthy state.
- Deep CleaningPeriodontal Therapy: Gum grafting and scaling and root planning is the traditional gold standard treatment for periodontitis. At we use a specialized laser to precisely remove infected tissue from the tooth.
- DenturesIf you are missing one or more teeth, dentures can help restore your smile, your ability to chew and speak, and even your confidence. At ComfortCare Dental, we specialize in both complete and partial dentures. Regardless of which type of denture you need, your restoration will be custom-fit for effective, comfortable, and long-lasting results!
- Dental ImplantsDental implants are touted as the next best thing after real teeth, and for good reason. They mimic the aesthetics and function of your real teeth while also restoring your confidence. More importantly, dental implants are an excellent long-term solution to missing or damaged teeth. They preserve existing jawbone mass and prevent bone resorption.
- Oral Surgery
- Gum SurgeryTooth and gum surgery involve a number of procedures that address infections or diseases in the teeth, gum or jawbones. The word ‘surgery’ often evokes fear and panic in patients. However, dental surgery is more common than many patients realize.
- Tooth ExtractionsMost of us possess a set of third molars commonly known as wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth typically erupt much later than other permanent teeth, which can cause problems for your oral health. At ComfortCare Dental, we specialize in wisdom teeth extractions to prevent or alleviate these potential problems.
- Bone GraftingIn order for patients to be eligible for dental implants, they must have a healthy jawbone and gums to support the implant body. Depending on jawbone health, some patients may have to undergo bone grafting to increase their jawbone density. Most procedures require at least 1 mm of bone depth to support implants. However, every patient is different, and a consultation is needed for an accurate prognosis.
- OrthodonticsThese days, patients have more treatment options than ever before when it comes to orthodontics. Some of these treatments are safer, more comfortable, and more effective than traditional methods. This is largely thanks to advancements in technology and techniques.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsAt ComfortCare Dental, we strive to provide premier orthodontic care and a supreme experience. Our cutting-edge treatments have both children and adults leaving our state-of-the-art facility with straighter smiles and improved oral health. One of the most popular options among our adult patients is Invisalign®.
- BracesRegardless of which type of sports guard you choose, it should provide basic protection for the teeth and gums. In most cases, a sports guard only needs to cover the upper teeth to provide adequate protection. However, we may recommend one for the lower arch as well, especially if these teeth have braces or an existing restoration.
- Teeth WhiteningIf you are dissatisfied with the brightness of your smile, you are not alone. Teeth whitening treatment is one of the most common cosmetic procedures we perform here at ComfortCare Dental. This is because professional whitening treatment is safer and more effective than store-bought alternatives. You, too, can experience the wonderful benefits of in-office whitening treatment!
- Cosmetic DentistryProfessional dentistry is an important part of maintaining excellent oral health, especially for children. At ComfortCare Dental, we pride ourselves on being a family-friendly office! We know that dentistry can be a scary thought for some kids, which is why our office is designed to make your child's visit fun, friendly, and comfortable. If your child is in need of preventive, restorative, or even cosmetic dentistry, you have come to the right place!
