Scaling and Root Planing

 

This non-surgical deep cleaning procedure treats gum disease by removing tartar and plaque from below the gumline and smoothing the roots of the tooth. When regular dental cleanings aren’t enough to maintain healthy gums and prevent the progression of periodontal disease, your dentist will use specialized instruments such as ultrasonic scalers to effectively clean your teeth and gums. Next, your dentist will smooth the rough edges of the roots, preventing the buildup of bacteria and plaque. Root planing can also help gums reattach to your teeth, treating gum disease and preventing tooth loss. Scaling and root planing can also help to reduce bleeding, leading to healthier gums and overall oral health.

Tooth Extractions

 

Patients may be understandably anxious about a tooth extraction, but an infected or decayed tooth can be hazardous to your health. Having a tooth pulled can help to make room for a permanent tooth. Our team does everything possible to ensure that you’ll be comfortable and safe before, during, and after your tooth extraction, including a local anesthetic for those concerned about sensitivity and mild pain.


Tooth extraction procedures are often necessary with wisdom teeth, the third molars in the back of your mouth that grow in adulthood. Although some people may never develop wisdom teeth, those who do will likely need an extraction because the teeth are misaligned or don’t have the space to develop. Having wisdom teeth extracted helps to prevent further complications. 

Root Canal Therapy

 

When the pulp of your tooth is damaged or infected, a root canal is the best way to relieve pain and save the tooth. This procedure, also known as endodontic treatment, involves removing the diseased tissue from the inside of the tooth. It’s more complex than an extraction, but it will restore your tooth to good health. Other advantages of a root canal include:


  • Preserving your natural tooth provides more efficient chewing.
  • Preventing a gap from forming keeps surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.
  • Saving your natural tooth prevents you from having to wear dental prosthetics.
  • You’ll maintain a natural smile and appearance.


If you experience tooth discoloration, deep cavities, swollen gums, or persistent tooth sensitivity or pain, you may benefit from root canal treatment. Contact our office to learn more.

Preventative Care

Dental Cleanings​ and Exams


A healthy smile does so much more than improve your appearance; it’s one of the best places to start if you’re trying to achieve greater overall health. Clean teeth and healthy gums are key to your overall well-being. Be sure to visit us regularly for preventative services like dental exams and cleanings as well as treatment options for gum disease, bad breath, and more. We’re committed to helping you achieve the confidence that only a bright, healthy smile can provide.


During your dental checkup, we’ll examine your teeth, head, and jaw, checking for signs of problems including jaw alignment, dental cancer, and dental hygiene issues, as well as checking your gums for signs of gingivitis. Exams usually include a professional cleaning.


Regular dental checkups can identify and prevent oral health problems, including:

  • Cavities and dental decay
  • Damaged teeth caused by tooth grinding
  • Mouth cancer
  • Loss of bone due to disease or injury
  • Periodontal disease
  • Dental infections

X-Rays


Dental X-rays enable your dentist to see cavities, bone loss, and infections that can’t be detected with the human eye. They also help track your healing process and plan for treatments such as braces or implants. X-ray images of your teeth and jaws allow your dentist to see parts that aren’t visible during a regular exam, including nerves, sinuses, and tooth roots. They can detect cavities, decay under existing fillings, impacted teeth, abscesses, cysts, and tumors. X-rays are an important preventative tool and are key to maintaining your dental health.


Oral Cancer Screening

 

Early detection is key to successfully treating oral cancer. This condition can develop without warning, and when a lump or lesion appears in the mouth, it can mean that the disease has spread to other parts of the body. That’s why it’s so important to contact us right away if you notice any abnormal growth on your gums or jaw. Oral cancer screening during a dental exam is key to diagnosing the problem early, significantly increasing the chances of successful treatment. 

Dental Sealants


Dental sealants protect teeth with a thin coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your molars and premolars. By preventing food particles from settling in the pits of the teeth and creating a barrier against bacteria, this treatment helps to prevent decay. Dental sealants are especially helpful in preventing cavities in children’s teeth.


Some of the benefits of sealants include:


  • Savings: By preventing future dental treatment costs, sealants save you money.
  • Easy Application: Sealants can be applied quickly and painlessly in a single dental visit.
  • Long-Lasting Protection: Dental sealants can last between five to ten years with proper care. 

Cosmetic Dentistry

One of the first things people notice about you is your smile. If you have missing or stained teeth, you may not feel comfortable smiling. Cosmetic dental services can help to restore your confidence with a bright, beautiful smile.


Veneers​


Porcelain veneers can be fitted to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive that creates a solid bond, restoring the appearance of your teeth and smile. Veneers can be used to bring a like-new appearance to chipped or damaged teeth, discolored teeth, and misaligned teeth. Veneers cover your teeth, giving you the look and feel of a natural, beautiful smile.

Bleaching and Whitening


We use advanced teeth whitening solutions to help our patients achieve bright, radiant smiles. We’ll work with you to select the best teeth whitening option for your needs and budget. Our effective, painless teeth whitening treatments will restore your confidence. 

Composite Bonding


If you need to have a cavity filled, white filings will blend with your natural tooth color, giving your mouth and smile a natural appearance. These fillings can also restore the strength and structure of your tooth with minimal drilling.

Restorative Dentistry

Dentures and Removable Partials


Dentures are a great option for patients who are missing some or all of their teeth. Whether you need a one-tooth denture or a full set, we can help. We offer top-quality dentures and an affordable price. With proper care, your dentures can last for decades, making them a sound investment in your oral health.


With today’s technology, we’re able to offer a variety of denture options. Our team will work with you to select the best denture for your preferences and needs. A full denture replaces all your natural teeth, while a partial denture is used when most of your teeth are healthy. For a full denture, our team will take measurements and impressions of your teeth and gums to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. A partial denture is affixed to adjacent teeth with clasps and must be removed and cleaned daily. 

Dental Implant Services


Dental implants are surgically inserted into your jawbone using posts. They replace your missing teeth, giving you a new, fully functional tooth that matches your existing teeth.


Endosteal implants are inserted into the jaw, and subperiosteal implants are inserted under the gum but above the jaw, usually when a patient’s jaw cannot support a bone graft. Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, giving you back your smile.

Crowns and Bridges


Dental crowns, also known as caps, cover the surface of your teeth. While a crown covers an existing tooth, a bridge fills the space caused by a missing tooth. Both are permanent devices that can restore the function and appearance of your teeth without extensive maintenance.


Tooth Fillings


If decay has damaged one or more of your teeth, we can repair the damage with a dental filling, restoring the full function of your teeth.

Pediatric Dental Services

The team at Fairfield Family Dentistry understands that children need special attention to achieve optimal oral health.


Our caring and compassionate dental professionals strive to ensure that your child will be comfortable during their visit to our office, helping them to develop healthy habits to support their oral health.

Invisalign

If you’ve put off receiving orthodontic treatment with traditional metal braces, you now have the option of using clear aligners from Invisalign. Crooked or misaligned teeth can become a thing of the past with the Invisalign system. A series of plastic aligner trays that fit over your teeth are used to gradually shift them into the correction positioning, improving not only the aesthetics of your smile, but also improving the function of your teeth and jaw and your overall oral health. Call today to learn more about Invisalign.
