Healthy Habits and Preventive Treatments
THE POWER OF PREVENTIVE DENTAL CARE
Maintaining healthy dental habits at home combined with regular preventive cleanings and evaluations will help you and your family enjoy a lifetime of healthy teeth. Your hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth to remove plaque and tartar from those hard-to-reach places that a toothbrush can’t access. These biannual visits are crucial to reduce your risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
Additionally, fluoride varnish is a protective measure we offer at Phipps Dental Practice to further protect your teeth. This varnish helps to strengthen the tooth enamel and make it more resistant to decay. Fluoride is a safe and effective treatment suitable for all ages.
Oral Cancer Screenings
EARLY INTERVENTION IS KEY.
Our team will check for signs of oral cancer as part of your regular dental checkups. This continuous monitoring allows us to detect any abnormalities or potentially cancerous lesions at an early stage. Early intervention is key when it comes to oral cancer. These regular screenings significantly boost your chances of successful treatment and recovery should you ever face an oral cancer diagnosis.
Tooth-Colored Fillings for a Natural Look
RESTORING YOUR SMILE
If you have a cavity, you will need a filling. In the past, amalgam fillings were standard. Though these silver fillings were functional and protected teeth from future decay, they were very visible, causing some patients to feel self-conscious. Nowadays, you can get tooth-colored fillings, which are not only functional but also look completely natural. We match these composite resin restorations to the surrounding teeth for a perfect blend with your existing smile.
Root Canal Treatment to the Rescue
SALVAGING A DAMAGED TOOTH
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, saves and restores a tooth suffering from infection or inflammation of the pulp (nerve and its tissues). Not treating the tooth can result in severe pain and discomfort that affects your everyday life. A root canal, however, helps you retain your natural tooth and avoid an extraction. The dentist simply removes the bacteria, cleans out the root canals, and seals them again to prevent future infection.
On-Site Dental Crowns
STABILITY FOR DAMAGED TEETH
Phipps Dental Practice offers lab-created dental crowns, which are reliable choices for damaged teeth that aren’t candidates for normal fillings. With the assistance of our advanced iTero digital scanner, we will scan your teeth to get clear, accurate measurements. Skilled technicians then create the crowns in our state-of-the-art dental laboratory. Our team uses the highest quality materials available for dental crowns. Porcelain and zirconia, in particular, are popular choices to create beautiful, natural-looking smiles because of their durability and aesthetic appeal.
Tooth Extractions and Wisdom Teeth Removal
SOMETIMES THEY MUST GO.
Phipps Dental Practice will always try to save a damaged tooth. However, sometimes a severely damaged tooth is nonrestorable. Most patients are better off without their wisdom teeth as well because they often don’t have enough room to come in and can damage surrounding teeth. We perform extractions with great care and diligence. Patient comfort is our top priority, which is why you have the option of sedation to help you relax. After your tooth extraction, your dentist will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure you have a smooth recovery. Our team will also make a follow-up appointment to check that your healing is on track.
Periodontal Therapy to Achieve Healthy Gums
GENTLE AND EFFECTIVE
Periodontal therapy includes a variety of treatments designed to treat periodontal disease, or gum disease. Some people don’t realize that maintaining healthy gums is just as important as maintaining healthy teeth if you want to enjoy a beautiful smile long term. Periodontal therapy removes bacteria to stop gum disease and helps prevent future gum problems and tooth loss. It is a gentle, effective therapy that is completely customized to meet your individual needs.
Sedation Options
FOR A STRESS-FREE DENTAL EXPERIENCE
Dental-related anxiety is quite common. Here at Phipps Dental Practice, we provide a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and a gentle, caring approach. However, some patients need extra help relaxing for their treatment. At our practice, we offer oral sedation and nitrous oxide (also known as laughing gas) options. If you’re looking for a calm and stress-free dental experience, ask our team about sedation options when making your appointment.
Custom-Made Nightguards
PROTECTING YOUR TEETH WHILE YOU SLEEP
Teeth grinding at night is a common condition. Many of us do it without realizing it until we start noticing symptoms such as jaw soreness or unexplained enamel wear. Nightguards custom-made by our Phipps team can help to protect your teeth while you sleep. We make these specialized dental appliances in-house in a matter of days. And the best part is that you won’t have to tolerate messy impressions or uncomfortable trays because we use scanning technology to take digital impressions. Nightguards act as cushion between the teeth to prevent nighttime grinding and clenching. If left untreated, teeth grinding can cause serious cracks, chips, and wear. So it’s best to seek treatment as soon as you can.
