Oral Examination

Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Dr. Kheny will also take digital x-rays, which will include periapical x-rays for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as bite-wing x-rays for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth. Digital X-rays reduces radiation by as much as 80 percent.

Cleanings and Periodontal Treatment

Cleaning is a preventative procedure that is important to have done at least every 6 months, more often for certain individuals. A child should have a cleaning and fluoride treatment twice a year.

Sealants

A sealant is a plastic resin material that is applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. This preventative measure allows the dentist to seal out plaque and food from the grooves and pits in teeth that are prime targets for decay.

Composite / White Fillings

Composites, also known as tooth colored fillings, are designed to match the natural appearance of your teeth. They are used to restore a decayed tooth instead of mercury silver fillings that tend to darken the tooth and leak over time. For example, once the decayed portion of the tooth is removed, we will place several layers of the tooth-colored composite onto this tooth to return it to a natural, beautiful shape.

Space Maintainers

Space maintainers are a band or a temporary crown used when your child loses a baby tooth early through decay or injury. Maintainers are used to prevent the child’s other teeth from shifting into the vacant space. When the permanent tooth starts to come in, the space maintainer is removed.

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride treatments are applied to strengthen the enamel making it harder for acids to destroy your teeth. Your dentist can apply the fluoride treatment in the form of a gel, foam or varnish in minutes.

Root Canals

When the pulp that is inside the tooth becomes infected, it cannot repair itself. Years ago, extraction was the only option. Today, through endodontics, or root canal therapy, these teeth can be saved. We perform root canals on anterior, premolar and molar teeth by appointment in our office.

Extractions

Extractions are performed when teeth cannot be saved or when they need to be removed for other reasons, such as orthodontics (braces).

Crowns and Veneers

You can have a new beautiful smile with all-porcelain crowns or veneers on anterior teeth. Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain or a combination of porcelain and metal placed on the top of a tooth. Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth’s function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth. For the posterior teeth, the latest technology in porcelain and porcelain fused to metal crowns can be utilized to insure a beautiful, natural looking smile. Veneers, also called laminates, are wafer-thin custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size or length.

Bridges and Dentures

Bridges are natural-looking dental appliances that can replace a section of missing teeth. Bridges are custom-made so they are barely noticeable and can restore the natural contour of teeth as well as the proper bite relationship between upper and lower teeth. Bridges are sometimes referred to as fixed partial dentures because they are semi-permanent and are bonded to existing teeth or implants. Some bridges are removable and can be cleaned by the wearer; others need to be removed by a dentist.

Dental Implants

Implants are titanium structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases implants can be used to attach dentures. While Dr. Kheny does not place the implant, as that is usually done by an oral surgeon, she does make and insert the implant crowns and bridgework.

Mouthguards / Nightguards

Mouth injuries resulting in lost teeth, fractured jaws and concussions are often sports related. Many of these injuries could be prevented by wearing a mouthguard. A professionally fabricated mouthguard not only protects well, but allows for easy speech and breathing.

Traditional Metal Braces

Metal braces are the best option for treatment because of its effectiveness and efficiency in moving teeth. It is an excellent option for kids and adults alike. With metal braces you can select colorful ligature ties to match your favorite sports team, an upcoming holiday, or simply as a form of self expression.
