Drop-Dead Gorgeous Dentures
If you select dentures as a replacement for missing teeth, we can
design and fit natural-looking dentures that won’t slip. Recent
technology allows us to anchor a denture plate so securely that you
no longer have to worry about the foods you eat and your slipping
and shifting dentures. If you are already a denture wearer, we
invite you to ask us about this procedure. It will make your life so
much easier.
Intra-Oral Camera Makes You a Part of the
Team
Dr. Lewis works hand-in-hand with patients to create a bond of
teamwork. One of the ways we bring this about is through the use of
a high-tech tool, the Intra-Oral Camera. This amazing device is a
miniature video camera that displays a close-up picture of the
inside of your mouth. You can see for yourself what work needs to be
done and which teeth are doing fine. You then become a participant
in each dental decision. You'll love how this works!
The Laser Scanner Finds Cavities Years
Earlier
Have you ever had a dentist find a cavity and place a large filling,
and wondered why the filling is so large if the cavity wasn’t there
just six months before? The cavity was there six months before – it
just wasn’t big enough to show on X-rays, and it wasn’t visible to
the dentist yet. The laser scanner can find cavities years earlier,
when the small cavity can be removed and repaired with a small
invisible bonded filling. Sometimes patients complain of tooth
sensitivity, or mild to severe pain, yet X-rays and examination
cannot pinpoint the source. The laser scanner can detect previously
undetected decay and, once identified, allow us to remove the
discomfort and leave you with a healthy smile.
Saving Hopeless Teeth
Teeth with roots that have been damaged or infected used to require
extraction, which can cause a lot of problems and should be done as
a last resort. When dental decay reaches the nerve of the tooth (or
the tooth has become infected), a simple filling does not suffice. A
root canal can save the tooth by removing the pulp of a tooth and
replacing it with a filling material. Root canals of the past were
quite painful and gained a reputation as something to be avoided.
However, with today’s modern anesthetics and technology, we can
perform root canals that are quite tolerable and often times even
painless!
