Services We Offer Under General Dentistry

There are many different Dentist Lees Summit services available. Some of the most common procedures we offer at our office include:

fillings

If you have a cavity, the dentist will remove the decayed material and fill the void with a filling. If a dental cavity is not repaired early it can lead to toothaches or extractions and will leave you needing to get additional treatments that are more serious. Dental fillings will help to strengthen your tooth. 

preventative

Preventative care is important to maintain good oral health. We offer a variety of preventative services, including teeth cleanings, sealants, and fluoride treatments so you never have to worry about cavities or gum disease. Preventative care helps keep you from any emergency dental issues, schedule your appointment today!

check-ups

Your checkup is like getting a tune-up for your teeth! During a check-up, the dentist will:

  • Examine your teeth and gums
  • Remove any plaque or tartar buildup
  • Provide a professional cleaning
  • Take x-rays (as needed)
  • Detect any early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or other problems
  • Review your oral hygiene habits
  • Make recommendations for improvement

Keeping up with your check-ups is important because they help catch problems early when they’re easier to treat. We want to make cavities a thing of the past.

crowns

A dental crown and bridge are common alternatives to dental implants. A crown is a type of dental restoration that covers the entire tooth. Crowns are used to restore a tooth that is broken, worn down, or has a large cavity and can be a lifesaver for your smile. You usually need them when:

  • Your tooth is severely broken, cracked, or chipped
  • Your tooth has a large filling and not much tooth left
  • You have had a root canal
  • Your tooth is misshapen or discolored

Crowns are made of different materials, including gold alloys, base metals, porcelain, and ceramic. The type of crown you get will depend on the location of the tooth, functional needs, and esthetic considerations.

A dental bridge is a cheaper option compared to a dental implant. A dental bridge uses your good teeth on either side of the gap as an anchor to support the false tooth. Dental bridges not only restore your smile and help make it easier to chew food but they can also prevent your teeth from moving out of their proper position.
