Scheduling routine teeth cleanings and undergoing a professional dental exam is critical to the health and longevity of your smile. Dr. Schlesinger and our friendly dental team provide pediatric and adult dental cleaning services. While maintaining your teeth and gums at home is a great start towards achieving optimal oral health, a professional cleaning allows us to provide a deeper clean, removing tartar and plaque buildup from the surface of your teeth. Even with daily brushing and flossing, unhealthy bacteria can build up over time. Regular exams also give our staff a chance to spot any issues early on, helping to avoid costly dental treatment in the future.
As dental technology has advanced, dentists can pinpoint problems quicker, and get a clearer, more precise image of your dental health. Digital x-rays provide Dr. Schlesinger and our dental staff with a highly accurate, inside view of what is going on with your teeth, roots, and jaw. This technology can alert our team to potential issues, even if they are originally invisible to the naked eye. At our practice, we utilize an imaging system called Green CT2. This advanced digital x-ray machine produces high-quality images with significantly lower levels of radiation, in a matter of seconds. We are also able to enable a 3D scanning feature, which provides us the ability to create digital re-creations of a patients mouth.
Gone are the days of putty-filled trays and time consuming molds and impressions. Comfortable Dentistry 4U is proud to bring our patients digital impression technology, allowing for a more accurate and comfortable method to create custom molds of your mouth. Similar to our Green CT2 x-ray technology, our dental digital impressions scanner utilizes state-of-the-art technology to cast digital molds to be used to fabricate and fit you with your own custom dental appliance.
Your gums are the foundation for a healthy smile. Unhealthy gums can put a patient's entire smile at risk. When plaque is left untreated, it changes into tartar, or calculus. This can begin to break down the gums and bones within the mouth, leading to a variety of dental problems, ranging from bad breath to loose teeth.
Our dentists and staff are here to help our patients stay on top of the gum health with regular exams to assess your gum health. Establishing healthy habits at home, partnered with staying on top of regular dental checkups can help you avoid serious gum issues in the future.
In the event that the patient has remaining healthy teeth that will not be removed, partial dentures can be created to fill the gaps and restore the patient's smile. Partial dentures also help to keep the remaining teeth from shifting within the mouth.
Complete dentures replace all of a patient's teeth and fall under one of two categories. Conventional dentures are made and fitted after all of the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed. During the healing process, the patient will be without teeth.
Immediate dentures are exactly as their name implies. Once the patient's teeth have been removed, the pre-fitted dentures are immediately placed into the mouth. As the patient's mouth and gums heal, the immediate dentures will require some adjustments.
