Cleanings, Xrays & Prevention

Professional dental cleanings (dental prophylaxis) are performed by Registered Dental Hygienists and sometimes even Dr. Formica.

Your cleaning appointment will include a dental exam and the following:

Removal of calculus (tartar): Calculus is hardened plaque that has been left on the tooth for some time and is now firmly attached to the tooth surface. Calculus forms above and below the gum line and can only be removed with special dental instruments.

Removal of plaque: Plaque is a sticky, almost invisible film that forms on the teeth. It is a growing colony of living bacteria, food debris, and saliva. The bacteria produce toxins (poisons) that inflame the gums. This inflammation is the start of periodontal disease!

Teeth polishing: Remove stain and plaque that is not otherwise removed during tooth brushing and scaling.

We also perform xrays, oral cancer screening, gum disease evaluation, examination of tooth decay as well as existing restorations.

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

While the removal of wisdom teeth is the most well-known type of oral surgery, there are many reasons why oral surgery may be required.

For example, to:

Diagnose, repair, or treat serious conditions affecting a patient’s teeth, palate, lips, jaw, or face.

To alleviate problems due to obstructed sleep apnea, infections, or facial pain.

To augment a treatment plan prescribed by a Dentist or Specialist.

Repair maxillofacial region damage caused by a serious accident or injury

Root Canal

Endodontic treatment (Root Canal) saves a severly injured, or decayed tooth when its pulp (the soft inner tissue inside a tooth’s root canal) becomes inflamed or infected.

If it is not treated promptly, pain or a tooth abscess results. Endodontic treatment is also known as a “root canal.”Root canal treatment is completed in one or two office visits, depending on the presence of infection and the required treatment plan.

After restoration, the tooth continues to function like any other tooth. With good oral hygiene, the restored tooth has the potential to last a lifetime.
