Tooth-Colored Fillings
If you have a cavity, we are happy to restore the health and the function of your teeth with our state-of-the-art tooth-colored fillings! This innovative material called composite resins allow Dr. Denison to match your fillings to the shade of your natural teeth. If you take excellent care of your teeth, your tooth-colored fillings can last 10-20 years! Say good-bye to the dark silver amalgam fillings in your mouth.
Soft-Tissue Laser
The soft tissue laser is used by Dr. Denison in periodontal therapy to kill bacteria and cleanse infected periodontal tissues in a very non-invasive, non-painful way. Periodontal or gum disease is a serious condition that may cause problems in your dental health. With this soft-tissue laser treatment, healing times are shortened because of the clean, gentle treatment. It is also very useful in contouring tissues in cosmetic and implant treatments.
Diagnodent Cavity Identifying Laser
Determination of whether a small stain on a tooth is actually decay or not is sometimes difficult and cannot be determined by an X-ray or examination. The Diagnodent laser technology is used to identify whether a stain is just a stain or if it has progressed to decay. This is groundbreaking in oral health as early detection of cavities allows for the Denison team to develop more conservative treatments.
Dental Implants
Dental implants allow Dr. Denison to replace a missing tooth in a manner that is the most like the original tooth. Other teeth are not affected by the treatment and they protect the surrounding bone and gum tissue against harmful processes that occur after the loss of a tooth. They are surgically placed in your jawbone and allow you to chew and speak normally again. In addition, this state-of-the-art appliance may also improve your smile appearance and give you a new boost in confidence.
Intraoral Antibacterial Treatments
State-of -the-art intraoral antibacterial agents provide us with a less invasive way to treat periodontal or gum disease. Antibiotics are carried in a medium that hardens, directly into the infected periodontal pocket spaces, and the material slowly dissolves over a period of about ten days. If left untreated, bacteria may spread and cause more serious health problems.
Oral Cancer Screening
The incidence of oral cancer has risen drastically in the last few years. Today, oral cancer is often associated with younger, otherwise healthy individuals. Dr Denison believes it is important for his adult patients to have an oral cancer examination every year as early detection is key to successful state of the art treatment. This simple step only takes a few minutes and is important in your routine dental checkup.
Smile Imagery and Analysis
If you are less that satisfied with your smile or just curious about what cosmetic treatments would do for your smile, Dr. Denison can take digital pictures of your teeth and create images that can give you an idea of what dental treatment could do to improve your smile. Our patients enjoy this added bonus, especially if you are someone who needs a visual representation.
