Exams
Initial Exam - A new patient examination includes a thorough evaluation
of the current conditions of the patient’s teeth and mouth
and provides a diagnosis for treatment. An explanation of diagnosis
and a treatment plan is then recommended.
Periodic Exam - A regular patient's oral examination
is done every 6 months. These preventative appointments are recommended
to evaluate, diagnose, and record information needed for treatment.
Limited (emergency) exam is limited to a particular area of concern
for that patient.

X-ray
X-rays are taken at new patient exams and between 6 months to 1
year during periodic exams at cleaning appointments. X-rays are
used to diagnose interproximal decay (between teeth) that is not
evident during a visual exam. They are also used to check the formation
of permanent teeth, possible crowding and eruption problems, and
to check for abscesses.

Cleaning
& Fluoride
Prophylaxis (cleaning) involves scaling and polishing, including
complete removal of calculus, soft deposits, plaque, stains, and
polishing tooth surfaces. Fluoride application helps to prevent
carries.

Periodontal
Disease
Periodontal disease is also known as gum disease. Gums maybe red,
swollen, itchy, bleed easily, or may show no signs at all. Periodontal
disease is determined by the gum inflammation, contour, color, and
bone stability. During a comprehensive or periodic exam your gum
health will be evaluated. The majority of patients will only need
recommendation or instruction on how to keep or maintain proper
gum health. If there is a concern it may require attention, or perhaps
referral to a periodontist.

Sealant
Sealants are recommended as a preventative procedure to prevent
the start of decay in the groove areas (chewing surface) of primary
and permanent molar and bicuspid teeth. The sealant is a resin material.
At preventative appointments sealants are checked and replaced when
necessary.

removed.

Root Canal
Therapy
In order to save a tooth that the nerve has been affected by way
of decay, fracture, periodontal disease or injury, the involved
nerve must be removed. This is known as root canal therapy. New
techniques implemented by Dr. Angel can improve your experience
with this procedure. New technology can shorten the appointment
time and decrease your heal time.

Crown and Bridgework
Crowns are indicated when the tooth may require more stability.
This is indicated after root canal therapy, but can also be used
in the case where large old fillings are breaking down and little
tooth structure remains. There are many types of crowns, some used
to restore unstable teeth and others can be used for improving the
look or shape of your teeth (cosmetic).
Back to Top
Extractions
An extraction may be required if the tooth is unrestorable by severe
decay, large fracture, periodontal disease, impacted wisdom teeth.
Teeth may also be removed if requested due to orthodontics.

Interceptive
Ortho Appliance
Interceptive ortho appliances can be either a removable or fixed
cemented type. They are very effective in making more room in the
mouth for the permanent teeth by expanding the upper and/or lower
arches.

Dentures (False
Teeth)
Whether you are in need of new dentures or this will be your first
pair, a complete exam will be done to determine the appropriate
type of denture. This will be determined by the strength of bone,
amount of bone and contour of the remaining bone. They are several
different types of dentures available immediate, replacement dentures,
over dentures, and implant dentures.

Nitrous
Oxide/Oxygen Sedation
We offer Nitrous Oxide, also known as laughing gas, to our patients.
Nitrous may be helpful due to its calming effect. It may help relax
the nervous or aid a child in a good dental experience. Although
nitrous oxide does relax most patients, we still use local anesthetic
to numb the area being treated.
