Initial Oral Evaluation
Your initial oral evaluation includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will take necessary x-rays as part of the visit.
Dental Implants
Dr. Mark Tripp and Dr. Armen Balasanyan are now certified as implant specialists. Some cases may be referred to a periodontist for implant treatments, depending on the case.
Teeth Whitening
Our state-of-the-art, in-office Power Whitening system will make your teeth whiter in about 2 hours. Another option is our home whitening system you take with you for results in 2 weeks. You can also consider a combination program of both systems for optimal, long-term results.
Crowns and Veneers
You can have a new smile with all-porcelain crowns (empressed material) on the anterior teeth. For the posterior, we use porcelain fused to metal.
Fillings: Resin
Tooth-colored fillings that are light cures to match your teeth. Amalgam: Silver-colored fillings, more durable material.
Root Canals
We perform root canals on anterior and premolar teeth.
Periodontal Treatment
You should have at least two preventive care appointments each year. A periodontal treatment includes an Adult Prophy (basic cleaning). If it has been over a year since your last cleaning, possible treatment will include either Periodontal Scaling (deeper) or Root Planning and Scaling (requires anesthetic).
Mouth Guards
Whether you are an athlete or casual sports participant, you should wear a mouth guard to protect your teeth. If you grind your teeth while you sleep, a bite guard will help reduce symptoms of TMJ. We custom make mouth guards in both soft and hard materials.
Removable Dental Prosthesis
For missing teeth, we can make dentures or removable partials for you.
Invisalign
We know how much a confident smile means to you. Ask about our services for Invisalign, a safe and effective way to straighten your teeth without metal braces. For more information visit: www.invisalign.com
