White and Silver Fillings

Fillings are a time-honored way to treat tooth decay. At Area Dental Clinic, we offer two filling options: white (composite) and silver (amalgam). Both types are strong and resistant to normal wear. We will always take the time to discuss these options with you so that you can decide what material is right for you and your mouth.

Sometimes cavities cause pain. Other times, they go unnoticed. At your dental appointment, cavities are detected by oral inspection, x-rays, and by use of our Diagnodent laser. Even if tooth decay is not yet causing pain, the decay could continue and eventually cause a toothache. If decay is detected, our experienced dentists will discuss options with you, whether that is to fill it right away or keep watch on it.

Composite fillings are made up of a combination of materials that not only appear tooth-colored, they also strengthen the tooth in small to medium sized cavities. The results look, feel, and function like a natural tooth, only stronger.

Dentures and Partials

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. With new technology, they are more comfortable and durable than ever before.

When missing one or more teeth, dentures and implants are great ways to get the beauty and function of your smile back. Full, or complete, dentures are used when you are missing all of your teeth, while partial dentures are used when you still have some natural teeth. All of our dentures are custom made to fit your unique mouth. Dentures can be removed for cleaning and sleeping. While in use, there is an option to stabilize the denture by way of dental implants to keep the denture secure without the use of adhering paste. With proper care, a denture will last many years. If you have missing teeth, dentures may be the right option for you.

Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges strengthen your teeth while improving their appearance.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that we place over a tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. Crowns can drastically improve both your teeth’s appearance and function, making it easier to smile fully and eat all your favorite foods!

If you have a broken or badly decayed tooth, a crown may be the restoration needed to cover up the damaged tooth and protect its structure. A crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. The damaged tooth will be prepared before the custom-made tooth-shaped “cap” is permanently placed on top of the remaining tooth structure. You can expect restored biting strength and improved appearance in the repaired tooth.

A dental bridge is a restorative device that connects the area between one or more missing teeth. A bridge attaches artificial teeth to adjacent crowned teeth or implants. These are called abutment teeth and provide support for the bridge. Dental bridges are permanently attached and are a long-lasting, minimally invasive way to restore your mouth to full function.

Implants

Dental implants are a great option to restore your mouth when you have missing teeth. To see more details, visit our Dental Implants page.

Root Canal Therapy

At Area Dental Clinic, we offer root canal therapy to relieve pain in both front and back teeth.

If a tooth has a large cavity, a crack inside it, or if there was trauma to the tooth, it can become infected, which usually causes a painful toothache. At Area Dental Clinic, we offer root canal therapy to relieve pain in both front and back teeth.

A root canal is a usually painless procedure, which involves removing the infected nerve in an effort to save the tooth from needing to be extracted. With our modern equipment, we thoroughly numb the tooth before removing the infected nerve and pulp, carefully cleaning out the inside of your tooth, and sealing it off to prevent further damage. We will also discuss with you whether the tooth will need a crown to protect it after the root canal is completed.
