General Dentistry
At Lakewood Dental, we believe that preventive care is the foundation of a healthy smile. Our general dentistry services help you maintain optimal oral health throughout your life. We offer:
Regular Checkups and Cleanings
Regular dental exams allow Dr. Smith to identify potential problems early when they are easier to treat. Cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to cavities and gum disease.
Dental Hygiene Education
We provide personalized instruction on proper brushing, flossing, and other oral hygiene techniques to help you maintain a healthy smile at home.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities, especially beneficial for children.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants act as a barrier against plaque and bacteria, helping to prevent cavities, especially in children and adolescents.
Root Canal Treatment
If you have a deep cavity or infected tooth, root canal therapy can save the tooth by removing the infected pulp and preserving the root structure.
Tooth Extraction
If your teeth are causing pain, discomfort, or other problems, Dr. Smith can perform a safe and effective extraction to prevent future complications.
Orthodontics
A beautiful smile can boost your confidence and improve your overall well-being. Dr. Smith and our team can also provide ongoing dental care while you undergo orthodontic treatment. We offer:
- Braces: Traditional braces use a system of brackets and wires to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. This treatment is highly effective for various orthodontic cases, from mild to severe misalignment.
- Invisalign: Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place. Invisalign is a popular choice for adults who want straighter teeth without the metal wires and brackets of traditional braces.
Restorative Dentistry
If you have damaged or missing teeth, restorative dentistry can restore the function and aesthetics of your smile. Dr. Smith offers a variety of treatments, including:
- Dental Fillings: We use tooth-colored composite fillings to repair cavities and restore the strength and functionality of your teeth.
- Dental Crowns: Crowns are caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore strength, shape, and size.
- Dental Bridges: Bridges can replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to surrounding healthy teeth.
- Dentures: Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth that can improve your ability to chew, speak, and smile.
- Dental Implant Repair: Dental implants are a revolutionary tooth replacement solution known for their exceptional durability. However, the crown, bridge, or denture attached to the implant (the restoration) may require attention over time. Dr. Smith can restore single and multiple teeth, or even full arches, using dental implants.
- Full Mouth Reconstruction: Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive treatment plan designed to restore your smile’s health, function, and aesthetics.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Your smile is one of your most important features. Cosmetic dentistry can enhance the appearance of your teeth and gums, giving you a smile you can be proud of. Dr. Smith offers a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments, including:
- Teeth Whitening: Professional teeth whitening can dramatically improve the brightness of your smile.
- Porcelain Veneers: Veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their color, shape, size, or length.
