Dental Services We Provide

The key to total health also means taking care of your mouth, teeth, and gums. At your next check-up appointment, not only will we be able to help you achieve a baseline for your oral hygiene, but we can also show you how we can work as a team to improve your dental conditions. Preventative dental hygiene check-ups help to prevent:

• Bad breath
• Tooth decay
• Gum and periodontal diseases

Scaling and Root Planing (SRP) are also known as “deep cleanings/scalings”. This procedure is necessary to help debride deep pocket areas between the gum tissues and the surfaces of the infected tooth. These ‘deep pockets’ are filled with bacterial debris causing the tissues around this area to worsen over time, leading to severe irreversible periodontitis and tooth mobility. SRP is a great treatment that can:

• Reestablish gingival and periodontal health
• Stop the deterioration of all the tissues around the involved teeth
• Improve aesthetics and oral hygiene over time

Our clinics are equipped with various dental filling materials. Some individuals may prefer fillings based on color. The benefits of having tooth caries excavated and treated with dental filling are effective and substantial to the tooth’s long-term prognosis. Dental fillings treatments are great for:

• Halting the deleterious effects of carious lesions
• Maintaining the health and structural integrity for any natural tooth
• Preventing future tooth pains

Often when pain sets in a tooth, a radiograph is a helpful tool during the investigation of the origin of the pain. Tooth pain may be caused by untreated infection or pulpal trauma. If the infection continues, the abscessed tooth will be rendered nonvital and the pain may stop on its own. RCT can be a practical solution to:

• Saving a natural tooth from extraction
• Limiting the need for future periodontal surgeries
• Preserving the natural bony structures

Crowns are known as “caps” offer protection and preservation of a weakened tooth that presents with a history of large decay or filling or previous RCT. Crowns can also be applicable in aesthetic cases to improve a smile by changing the alignment of the dentition or the shape/shade of teeth. Prosthetic crowns or bridges:

• Replace missing teeth or restore worn-down teeth
• Protect weakened teeth with large fillings or previous RCT
• Prolong the natural functions and aesthetics of teeth

Dental veneers are applied as thin covers on multiple teeth to help achieve a balanced cosmetic smile. These veneers are adhered to natural sound teeth to provide aesthetic relief. Dental veneers are cosmetic options for treating:

• Broken or chipped teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Congenitally discolored or misshaped teeth

Mouthguards are preventative appliances that protect teeth from unconscious over-grinding (nightguards) and injury from active sports (sport guards or shock guards). Mouthguards can potentially offer relief from TMJ discomfort due to overworked jaw muscles. Mouthguards can help protect against:

• Tooth trauma and fractures
• Sensitivities due to long-term bruxism
• Stress-related TMJ discomfort

Fissure sealants fill the natural pits and fissures on teeth that are highly susceptible to developing caries due to accumulation of sugary and acidic residues that are difficult to remove completely. Fissure sealants protect the teeth from forming decay. Sealants are:

• cost-effective
• painless
• Needle-less procedure

Clear aligner therapy is a wonderful alternative to traditional braces with wires and brackets. We are committed to bringing your best smile forward. Make an appointment today to receive a complimentary consultation for Invisalign clear braces. Invisalign’s clear aligner therapy:

• “Invisible” option for orthodontic alignment therapies
• Provides same results as traditional wired-braces for most cases
• Results are highly dependent on patients’ compliance with at-home instructions

Implants serve as one of the major options to replacing or restoring missing teeth. After endogenous implants are placed, an appropriate amount of time must be allotted to allow for efficient tissue healing. Once the implant has osseointegrated with the bone, implant crowns or other prostheses can be customized to restore the missing tooth coronally. Implants can provide:

• Fixed solution for missing teeth
• Reestablish bite and smile aesthetics
• Long-lasting outcomes for terminal dental conditions

Sinus lifts are indicated when the maxillary sinus has expanded or pneumatized beyond the apices of the maxillary dentition. The bone that separates the floor of the maxillary sinus from the oral cavity has resorbed and become thinner over time. This can be caused by many factors including aging, missing teeth, and infections. Sinus lift with bone grafting material:

• Builds a strong foundation to support future dental implants
• Increases bone volume
• Optimizes structural integrity to the maxilla

Here at 380 Dental Care we offer state of the art and FDA approved Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapies. We use your own blood to spin down growth factors and cells with immense healing properties. PRF, in dentistry, can be used for:

• Enhancing tissue grafting procedures
• Decreasing pain and inflammatory reactions post-operatively
• Expediting healing of the gum and bones following surgeries

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) 3D imaging technology is used to visualize anatomical structures and pathologies otherwise hidden from clinical examinations. Vatech’s highly advanced innovative green CT technology minimizes patient dose while delivering superb quality cone beam scans in just 9 seconds, minimizing artifacts and motion. CBCT 3D imaging allows us to:

• Properly evaluate, treat, and accurately diagnose
• Visualize nerves, teeth positions, pathologies
• Optimize and customize treatment plans

Dentures are removable prosthetic options that can be fabricated for individuals who are looking to restore some or all of their missing teeth. Removable prostheses are customized to fit each individual with specific dental shapes, shades, and sizes. Removable partial or full dentures can also serve as interim options in their restorative plans. Dentures enable the patient to:

• Restore bite function
• Improve speech
• Support a natural smile

Wisdom teeth are also known as third molars.  Some may grow in perfectly aligned with your other molars, and some may grow on a tilt, impacting the bone and neighboring teeth.  In the latter scenario, it may present as an impacted wisdom tooth, which often causes issues for the adjacent tooth and surrounding bone structures.  

Impacted wisdom teeth may cause:

• crowding, discomfort, pain, bone loss
• infections, food-traps, cavities/infections, 
• tooth sensitivity, bleeding

Sedation dentistry provides ease and calmness for our most nervous patients. Procedures under sedation dentistry allows our patients to feel total comfort if necessary.  Different levels of sedation will vary in degrees of consciousness which will also determine whether an arranged transportation to and from our office is warranted.

Types of sedation dentistry we offer include: 

• nitrous oxide (laughing gas), 
• oral sedation (prescription pills), 
• intravenous (I.V.) sedation.
