Dental Health
Dental health is an important part of your overall health. Poor oral hygiene can negatively contribute to a variety of medical issues such as diabetes, heart disease, and even some cancers. Maintaining a healthy mouth helps prevent infections, aids in digestion, and helps achieve quality mental health. The team at Bluestone Dental is committed to helping all patients meet their oral hygiene goals in and easy going and welcoming environment.
Our Dental Services
Routine Dental Cleanings
A dental hygiene visit is recommended at least every six months. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends starting dental cleanings from the time a child has two or more teeth.
Fillings
A dental filling is used to restore teeth affected by cavities, minor fractures, or wear. It helps repair the tooth structure, preventing further damage and restoring its function and appearance.
Extractions
When a tooth is beyond repair, a dental extraction may be necessary. While our practice does not offer laughing gas or general sedation, we ensure the area is thoroughly numbed to provide a comfortable and efficient procedure. If you require or prefer sedation, our team can gladly refer you to an experienced oral surgeon who can accommodate your needs.
Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns are used to restore teeth that are weakened or damaged. A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gum line, providing strength and protection. A dental bridge, on the other hand, is designed to”bridge” the gap created by a missing tooth. It attaches to the adjacent teeth on either side of the gap, helping to restore both the function and aesthetics of the affected area.
Implant Crowns
Dental implants are titanium screws that are surgically placed into the jawbone in areas where one or more teeth are missing. The placement procedure is performed by an oral surgeon. Once the implant has fully healed and integrated with the bone, our office can attach a custom crown to the implant, effectively restoring both the function and appearance of the missing tooth.
