Sealants

Sealants are thin coatings applied to your teeth that prevent cavities. Can be placed any time a tooth has not begun to show signs of decay. We use laser detection to screen for decay

Extractions

We would like to make this experience as comfortable as possible. We utilize a variety of numbing and sedation options such as "laughing" gas, oral sedation, and I.V. sedation.

Sedation

We use three methods of sedation (in addition to a local anesthetic).

1. Nitrous Oxide "laughing gas"
2. Oral sedation- tablets of Halcion and Ativan
3. I.V. sedation

It is necessary to abstain from food or water for 6 hours prior to the procedure.

Crowns

Crowns are restorations made of porcelain or gold. Crowns can be placed on teeth that are discolored, cracked, or decayed.

Orthodontics

Conventional orthodontics (brackets and wires) still compete with clear braces (Invisalign). Our office can provide you with ANY (Insignia, Damon, lingual braces, Roth Rx) approach to comprehensive orthodontic treatment.

Fillings

Tooth colored bonding is used to fill decayed, cracked, or discolored enamel. Bonded resin can last decades if maintained properly.

Root Canals

There are two solutions to a toothache. One, an extraction of the tooth. The other, root canal treatment i.e. removal of infected pulp. All root canal treated teeth become brittle and need crowns in order to protect teeth from fractures. Some abscessed teeth require use of oral antibiotics and two visits to complete treatment.

Bridges

Fixed (not removable) porcelain restorations that serve to replace missing teeth.

Dental Implants

Titanium posts placed in jawbone in order to replace a missing tooth or serve as an anchor for an over-denture.

Whitening

Whitening is an excelent way to insure gum health. Can be done in one of three methods.

1. Take home gel with custom fitted trays (FREE).
2. In-office Zoom whitening.
3. In-office laser whitening.

Jaw Treatment

Problems of the temporal mandibular joint (TMJ) can manifest themselves in the form of headaches, neck pain, back pain, etc. We have been successfully treating a variety of musculoskeletal disorders of craniofacial origin. We work with a variety of specialists such as chiropractors and physical therapists to ensure the stability of our treatment over time. We use 3D cat scan technology and a T-Scan (digital clench gauge) to ensure muscle balance.

Teeth Grinding/ Clenching Treatment

We quantify the severity of clenching and grinding with the help of a computer. Clenching and grinding can cause headaches and contribute to migranes, wear your enamel down, and crack your teeth. Call for an appointment to see Dr. Asha.

Snoring/ Sleep Apnea

Snoring can contribute to many systemic diseases, such as heart disease, strokes, and diabetes. We can help you find out how severe your snoring is with the use of a take-home testing device. We can also determine whether the use of an oral appliance such as Somnodent would be affective.
