Sports Guards

The best way to prevent dental trauma in athletics is to use a sports guard. We can create a custom sports guard for you in our in-house dental lab. If you have any questions about sports guards, please contact our Seattle, WA dental office today.

Night Guards

If you are one of the millions of adults who suffer from night-time grinding or teeth clenching (bruxism), we can help. We have the ability to create custom night guards that can effectively create a barrier between your teeth so that you can rest easy without creating excessive wear on your teeth. When you visit our Seattle, WA dental practice, we will take molds (impressions) of your teeth so that our dental lab can create your custom night guard. Once the night guard has been created, you will visit our office for a second time so that we can ensure that it fits accurately. Call our office today for more information on custom night guards.

Hygiene/Periodontal Health

Many oral health problems can be easily avoided by practicing good hygiene habits, including flossing, brushing, maintaining a healthy diet, and visiting our Seattle, WA dental practice on a regular basis.  When you visit our office for your checkups, you will receive dental cleanings and exams, including evaluation for any present tooth decay or periodontal (gum) disease.

Because we aim to improve the health of the entire oral cavity, and not just the teeth, we take special care of the bones, gums, and tissues that surround and support the teeth. We do this so we can help you avoid periodontal disease, a degenerative disease that can result in tooth loss if left untreated. We also have the ability to help treat periodontal disease by performing deep cleaning services such as scaling and root planing. Scaling involves removing tartar from the surface of the tooth, while root planing will involve smoothing the roots of the tooth and removing any infected tooth structure. If you are interested in maintaining or improving your oral health, please contact our office today. Together, we can help you achieve all your oral health and cosmetic goals.

Root Canals

If the nerve of a tooth is suffering from significant infection, decay, or trauma, it may be necessary to receive a root canal to restore the tooth. We provide root canal treatment on anterior, premolar, and molar teeth.  Occasionally, we may refer you to a specialist (endodontist), if necessary.  If you are interested in learning more about the root canal procedure, please give our Seattle, WA dental practice a call today.

Sealants

A sealant is a plastic resin material applied to the chewing surfaces of posterior or back teeth.  Its purpose is to protect these teeth, which often have deep grooves, from bacteria accumulation and decay.  Sealants are a great preventive tool for you or your child to help keep your teeth healthy.

Tooth Extractions

Unfortunately, it is sometimes necessary to have a permanent tooth removed or extracted. This is often our last resort when attempting to maintain your oral health. If a tooth is able to be saved, we will give you all the treatment options possible to do so and then make the best decision for you and your health. We ask you to please contact our office if you are experiencing any pain or discomfort so that we can help restore your oral health.
