Root Canal Treatments
Root Canals are valuable dental procedures used to treat and preserve teeth with badly infected roots. The pulp is the live portion of the tooth that extends into the root and contains nerve endings and tissues. When it becomes infected, patients can experience pain, swelling, and even total tooth loss unless treated. Root canals remove the damaged parts of the tooth and infected root. In some cases, an antibiotic is prescribed to help prevent further infection within the tooth. The organic portion of the tooth that remains may be restored using a cap or crown that provides a natural appearance and normal functions. We at Total Dental Care aim to provide painless root canal treatments to our clients carried by our specialists.
Dental Implants
Dental Implants are surgical-grade root devices that support permanent tooth prosthetics manufactured to last a lifetime. These artificial roots are anchored in the bone beneath the gums, where they become fused into the jaw. A crown is mounted atop the implant for a long-lasting and natural-looking smile. Many dentists and patients prefer dental implants because they function like natural teeth and help prevent jaw-bone atrophy. Dental Implants may be used to replace a single missing or damaged tooth or to restore an entire smile.
Orthodontics/ Invisaligners
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that corrects teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly. Crooked teeth and teeth that do not fit together correctly are harder to keep clean, are at risk of being lost early due to tooth decay and periodontal diseases, and cause extra stress on the chewing muscles that can lead to headaches, TMJ syndrome, and neck, shoulder, and back pain. Teeth crooked or not in the right place can also detract from one’s appearance. Invisalign or clear aligners are orthodontic devices that are transparent, plastic dental braces used to adjust teeth.
Child Dentistry
Child Dentistry promotes the dental health of children from birth through adolescence. A dental visit should be planned within six months after the presence of the first tooth. Early oral examination aids in the detection of early stages of tooth decay. Early detection is essential to maintain oral health, modify aberrant habits, and treat as needed and as simply as possible. At Total Dental Care, we aim to provide painless treatment to children so they can have a friendly, comfortable, and satisfied visit.
Tooth Colored Fillings
Composite or tooth-colored fillings are dental restorations designed to be inconspicuous and natural. They blend well with the teeth and appear more natural than amalgam fillings, which are darker and more visible. Composite fillings can be used to fill in decayed areas of the teeth and help repair chipped or broken teeth. We at Total Dental Care use composite restorations to treat the teeth closest to the front of the mouth, as they are more noticeable when patients smile. However, advancements in dental technology and the composition of composite fillings have made it possible for our team to use tooth-colored fillings on molars, which receive more wear than older teeth.
Wisdom Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are routine dental procedures that remove decayed, damaged, or problematic teeth. Dentists usually try to preserve natural teeth, although sometimes an extraction is necessary. Depending on which teeth are removed, they may be replaced with a dental implant or oral prosthetic. Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the final four teeth to erupt through your gums between ages 17-25. Most wisdom teeth need to be removed because they can; 1. Need help cleaning 2. Cause pain, infection, and swelling around the tooth 3. Crowd and move other teeth, which can damage surrounding teeth. If you are wondering if your wisdom tooth should be removed, please get in touch with our staff to make an appointment. We are eager to help you!
Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges are custom-fitted tooth prosthetics to replace or restore damaged or missing teeth. Crowns, also known as caps, are fixed over the surfaces of natural tooth structures or dental implants. Bridges are used to fill in the gaps left by missing teeth and are anchored in place by natural teeth on either side of the empty spaces. Both crowns and bridges are permanent; they may not be taken in and out of the mouth. Patients who choose a crown or a bridge to restore their smile achieve the function and appearance of natural, healthy teeth.
Gum Surgery
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is caused when bacteria and plaque build up between the gums and teeth. When the bacteria grow, the gums surrounding the tooth can become inflamed. If left untreated, this inflammation can cause the gums and supporting bone structure to deteriorate, leading to gum recession or even tooth loss. In addition, research has shown that gum diseases may be associated with other diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease. Luckily, periodontal disease is preventable.

Smile Designing & Dental Veneers
A smile design is a dental procedure that artistically creates straighter, whiter, and more beautiful natural-looking smiles. Smile designs can do wonders to fully restore your dental health and appearance regardless of the original state of your existing teeth. Dental veneers are thin pieces of porcelain used to recreate the natural look of teeth while also providing strength and resilience comparable to natural tooth enamel. It is often the material of choice for those looking to make slight position alterations or to change tooth shape, size, and color. Two main types of materials are used to fabricate a veneer: composite and dental porcelain.
Dentures
Dentures are an effective and affordable way of replacing missing teeth. Composed of a durable plastic resin and sometimes porcelain, partial and full dentures can be fabricated to look and feel natural. Today’s dentures are custom fit to make eating food with confidence and speaking articulately possible. Depending on the patient’s preferences and budget, dentures can be crafted for maximum comfort and fracture resistance backed up by limited warranties.
