Check-up and Cleanings:

We have 3 full-time hygeinists for all of your cleaning needs.  An average cleaning appointment is scheduled for 45 minutes to 1 hour.  It also includes a medical history update, x-rays when needed, and an examination with Dr. Osborn.  Children may also have a fluoride treatment, when due.

Periodontal Procedures:

Our hygeinists also perform periodontal procedures when necessary.  Some of these procedures include a full mouth debridement, periodntal scaling and root planing, and periodontal maintenance cleanings.  More extensive periodontal procedures and surgeies may need to be performed by a Periodontist.

Whitening:

We now offer ZOOM! in office-whitening.  In 1 1/2 hours, you could leave our office with beautiful, whitened teeth!  Please ask us for details on this exciting treatment.

An alternative option to in-office whitening is a take-home treatment.  This includes custom, lab made trays that you fill with whitening gel.  Additional kits can be purchased for multiple uses.

We also have Opalescence Tres White take-home whitening trays.  They are a convenient and low-cost option for whitening that has been used by our staff and patients for over 10 years with wonderful results.

Fillings:

Our office performs composite (tooth colored) fillings on both anterior (front) and posterior (rear) teeth.  Amalgam (silver) fillings are performed only when dentally necessary.

Crowns:

A crown covers the entire chewing suface and all of the sides of a tooth, and are primarily made of high noble metal fused to porcelain.  Crowns may be necessary when a filling is not enough to properly restore your tooth. 

This can be for several reasons: 

• to protect a weak tooth from breaking
• to restore an already broken tooth, or one that has been worn down
• to cover and support a tooth with an already large filling and not much natural tooth structure
• to cover a misshapen or misaligned tooth
• to cover a tooth after root canal therapy

Tooth Replacement:

There are 3 common tooth replacement options that we perform: 

• Implants--done in conjunction with a Periodontist
• Crown and Bridge
• Removable Dentures
