With the popularity of television shows such as Extreme Makeovers, cosmetic dentistry has gained much of the spotlight over the past few years. Patients have the opportunity to not only seek a dentist for their “needs” on an ongoing basis, but they now seek a dentist for the “wants” they have always wished could be addressed. This is where the science and art of dentistry come together. Patients no longer have to accept living with discolored, misshapen, or missing teeth. FDA offers the latest in cosmetic services, such as BriteSmile whitening, veneers, bonding, tooth colored fillings, crowns, Invisalign and implants. These services can help build the smile you dream of and make a very positive change in self confidence.

When your oral health has been compromised to a point that requires additional or advanced services, your general dentist will refer you to a specialist. We have many specialists available for you at FDA in order to make this level of care as accessible as possible. In fact, our generalists can walk up the hall to consult with our specialists and ensure the diagnosis and treatment plan are comprehensive and addresses all needs. All of this can happen quickly with our team approach. Some of these services include periodontal surgery, dental implants, and root canal procedures. We also offer a pediatric specialist to ensure your child begins their oral health regimen early and on a positive note!

This is the single most important level of care that all patients must seek. Preventative dentistry includes obtaining thorough dental cleanings, allowing yearly update x-rays, and having a periodic or comprehensive examination. Healthy gums are the foundation of your long term dental health, and prevention is the key. During your recall maintenance visits, your hygienist will remove biofilm (plaque), calculus (tartar) and staining from teeth. She will perform the above mentioned procedures, along with fluoride when needed. She will work closely with our doctors to ensure the dentist can interpret all information and is aware of any changes as they occur. Your hygienist will monitor your home care and help you by suggesting improvements, both supplies and techniques, that can make major improvements in your oral health. With all of the correlations between systemic disease and oral health, it is clear that this level of care is vital.

This is the type of dentistry that most people associate with typical dental visits. These services include fillings, restorative crowns and bridges, dentures, root canals, among other services. Our outstanding generalists will perform these services when required to maintain your oral health. By focusing on a preventative care regimen and maintaining good homecare, a patient can hopefully minimize this type of dentistry.
