Our Dental Care Services

It may seem like a small thing but the actual tools you use on a daily basis can have a big effect on your dental health. For instance, did you know that even though hard bristled toothbrushes are effective at removing plaque and stains, they can damage your teeth and gums if you're not careful? With so many kinds of toothbrushes available today: electric, hard and soft bristle patterns, and more, it's best to get a recommendation from your dentist for what's right for you. Make sure you're using the right product for your teeth by bringing up the topic during your appointment. The same goes for brand of toothpaste you use. If you have sensitive teeth, your dentist can recommend a good toothpaste to help. Or if you're looking to brighten your smile, your dentist can provide you with some safe options for that too.

Although mouthwash does not replace good brushing and flossing habits, it can be beneficial for your dental health. Using mouthwash helps freshen your breath, control bacteria, and strengthen your teeth. However, it's very important for you to use the right type of mouthwash and you need to use it as directed. Talk to your dentist about whether or not mouthwash is right for you and if so, what kind you should be using. Your dentist can explain how you can benefit most from your mouthwash and give you instructions for use. Your dentist can also help you understand what potential negative side effects to be be aware of. For instance, mouth sores, root sensitivity, or numbness.

A dental filling restores and repairs the surface of a tooth that has been weakened by decay, fracture, or abnormal wear. If tooth decay or damage is not addressed in it's initial stages, it will just become worse and require additional complicated dental procedures and costs. Things like pain, discomfort and sensitivity are often early warning signs that you may need a filling. We will diagnose what is causing the issue during your examination and recommend and appropriate treatment to ease your discomfort.

If detected early enough, tooth decay can be corrected with a small composite filling. However, when decay and infection spread beyond the outer layers of the teeth and invade the pulp and root, a more advanced endodontic solution, like a root canal may be required. At Pashias Dental Clinic, we offer endodontic treatments, including root canals, to treat serious tooth decay and infection.

There are many cosmetic dentistry procedures that we can use, including teeth whitening, dental veneers, dental crowns and dental implants, among others, but this all depends on your unique needs. There are a few treatments we may use to achieve a healthy functional mouth and the smile of your dreams.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped 'cap' that is placed over a tooth to cover it to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance. The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. Implants provide a strong foudnation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.

Success rates of dental implants vary, depending on where in the jaw the implants are placed but, in general, dental implants have a success rate of up to 98%. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.

You're an ideal candidate for a dental implant if: 1) you're in good general and oral health. 2) you have adequate bone in your jaw to support the implant. 3) you have healthy gum tissues that are free of periodontal disease.

Most people who have received dental implants say that there is very little discomfort involved in the procedure. Local anesthesia can be used during the procedure, and most patients report that implants involve less pain than a tooth extraction. After the dental implant, mild soreness can be treated with over-the-counter pain medications, such as Tylenol or Motrin.

Dental implants require the same care as real teeth, including brushing, flossing, rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash, and regular dental check-ups.
