OUR SERVICES:
Bonding
Bonding is used to restore teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored, or misarranged. In some cases, it’s used as an alternative to veneers
Crown restorations
A tooth that has been compromised by repeated fillings or root canal therapy may need to be crowned. An impression is taken and sent to a dental laboratory for a metal or porcelain crown to be fabricated. On your second visit the crown is cemented onto your own tooth with a tight seal. Teeth with crowns should last many years with proper periodontal care. While it is possible to have a crown fabricated in one visit with a specialized machine we feel a custom made crown fabricated by a skilled dental technician is a better choice for our patients. Implants
Perhaps you want to improve your smile; to look healthier and younger, or add to your self-confidence. Maybe an accident has caused a loss of teeth. Could be you are dealing with loose, uncomfortable dentures, or failed bridgework. Or perhaps years of dental problems, worn teeth or failed restorations have made speaking and eating more difficult. Inlay/onlay
When more than half of the tooth’s biting surface is damaged, we may use an inlay or onlay. These are made of porcelain, gold or composite resin. The inlay or onlay pieces are bonded to the damaged area of the tooth. An inlay, which is similar to a filling, is used inside the cusp tips of the tooth. An onlay is a more substantial reconstruction, similar to the inlay but extending out over one or more of the cusps of the tooth. Both restorations require two appointments to complete the procedure. While the inlay/onlay is being fabricated at the dental lab, the dentist will apply a temporary sealant to protect your tooth. Veneers
Teeth that are chipped, cracked, worn, spaced unevenly, crowded, or severely stained can often be transformed with porcelain veneers. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that bond directly to the front of the surface of your anterior (front) teeth. Placing custom veneers requires a high degree of technical skill and attention to cosmetic detail. The result is a natural, beautiful smile. Endodontic Therapy
Natural teeth are meant to last a lifetime. Even if one of your teeth becomes injured or diseased, it can often be saved through a dental procedure known as Endodontic therapy. Years ago, when the interior pulp of a tooth became damaged or diseased, the only solution was to extract the tooth. Now, it is often possible to save such teeth through Endodontic treatment, more commonly known as root canal therapy. With proper care, teeth that have been saved through root canal therapy can last as long as your remaining natural teeth, as long as the tooth is properly restored afterwards by your dentist. Invisible Braces
Invisalign can give you the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted and no one can tell you’re wearing them. They are removable and virtually invisible. The Invisalign System is a series of clear orthodontic appliances, called aligners that allow you to straighten your teeth without having to wear traditional braces. Each pair of aligners in the series is worn in two week increments. This moves the teeth in small steps to the desired final position. The Invisalign System is an alternative to braces for patients who have full adult dentition and complete jaw growth, and it is effective on a broad range of cases. Our doctors can determine if you are a good candidate during an exam. Porcelain Fillings
Old unsightly silver fillings can now be replaced with aesthetic filling materials such as resins and porcelains. This type of restoration matches your natural tooth color and is aesthetically pleasing. Cancer Screening
Following our commitment to offer preventative care, we offer an annual Velscope Cancer screening test. This screening can be performed by the hygienist at one of your hygiene appointments or booked separately. The cost is $35 and is covered by some plans. Orthodontics
Anyone can appreciate that a smile can bridge a gap between any two individuals; it has been said that a pretty smile can even disarm the strongest of opponents in any argument! At Crescent Park Dental we offer two options to our patients; traditional orthodontics with metal bands and wires, and Invisalign™ a new, innovative, clear retainer system. The ease of wearing clear retainers and the lack of bands and brackets makes it a popular choice for many patients. Both work well in the appropriate situation. Dental Emergencies
What is a dental emergency? Dental emergencies can have many causes, including accidents, sports-related injuries, tooth decay and infection. You may have a dental emergency if you have any of the following:
a traumatic injury to your mouth, jaw or teeth
severe pain that you cannot control with over-the-counter pain medication
uncontrolled bleeding
severe swelling in your mouth, face or neck
NOTE: If you have trouble breathing or your mouth continuously fills with blood, call 9-1-1 or go to your nearest hospital emergency department. Teeth Whitening
Your smile creates an immediate, subconscious, visual impact on people you meet. A brighter smile gives the impression of youth, vitality, radiant health, happiness, and warmth. A bright smile is perceived as a healthy smile. Be sure to consult with us to learn which whitening treatment is best for you. Teeth whitening remains one of the most economical ways to enhance your smile.
