What We Treat

Comprehensive dental care for a wide range of oral health issues, from bad breath to gum disease and beyond.

Patients visit our dental office for many reasons, each with unique needs requiring personalized care. We begin with a complete oral exam to set the foundation for your oral health. Early detection is key to preventing serious issues, so we focus on identifying problems in their initial stages and creating effective treatment plans. Our goal is to help you understand your dental conditions and how we can restore and maintain your oral health.

Snoring

Snoring occurs when the muscles and soft tissues in the throat relax, causing vibrations as you breathe. It can result from teeth alignment, weight, alcohol intake, or sleep apnea.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing stops repeatedly during sleep, disrupting the REM cycle. Symptoms include fatigue, poor memory, irritability, and headaches. Contact us if you experience these issues for personalized solutions.

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth, often emerging in your late teens or early twenties, can become impacted and cause issues. Many patients need them removed to prevent complications. Recovery varies based on the extent of impaction and oral health.

Grinding (Bruxism)

Bruxism involves grinding or clenching your teeth, often at night. Symptoms include jaw pain, headaches, and tooth sensitivity. Left untreated, it can cause long-term damage. A night guard is a common solution.

Bad Breath (Halitosis)

Persistent bad breath is often caused by bacteria, dry mouth, smoking, or dental issues. Flossing, brushing, and mouthwash help. If it persists, schedule an appointment to find the underlying cause.

Bleeding Gums

Bleeding gums are usually a sign of gingivitis or gum disease, though aggressive brushing or ill-fitting dentures can also be factors. Proper cleaning and plaque removal can prevent further complications.

Cavities

Cavities are caused by plaque and result in tooth decay. They are often painless at first but can worsen without treatment. Regular check-ups and x-rays catch them early for effective care.

Cold Sores

Cold sores are blisters caused by the herpes simplex virus. They are often triggered by stress or a weak immune system. Symptoms include burning sensations, red blisters, and fever.

Gum Disease

Gum disease starts as gingivitis and can progress to periodontitis, causing gum recession, swelling, and redness. Good oral hygiene and early treatment are crucial to prevent worsening.

Gum Recession

Gum recession exposes tooth roots and can be caused by gum disease, aggressive brushing, or genetics. Early intervention helps prevent further damage and complications.

Stained Teeth

Teeth stains result from food, drinks, age, or poor oral hygiene. Regular cleanings and good habits help keep your smile bright.

Tooth Sensitivity

Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold may indicate cavities or root exposure. Schedule an appointment to identify the cause and prevent further discomfort.
