Helping You Maintain a Healthy Smile
Exams and Cleanings
We believe a healthy smile starts with prevention, which is why we recommend regular dental exams and cleanings. During your exam at Uno Dental, our gentle and experienced dentists will check your teeth, gums, and oral tissues for any signs of potential problems. We'll also perform a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing alone can't reach. These regular exams and cleanings are essential for preventing dental issues and making an impactful difference in your smile!
Periodontal Treatment
Periodontal disease damages the surrounding soft tissues and bones that support the teeth. It is predominantly caused by the accumulation of bacteria, mucus, and other particles in the form of plaque or tartar that sit between the teeth and the gums. Left untreated, this disease can result in significant tissue damage and eventual tooth loss.
The problem with periodontal disease is that often, the progression is painless. As a result, the affected individual may not be aware of an ongoing disease process. This is why it is so important to recognize the signs of the earliest stage of periodontal disease. These symptoms typically include red, swollen, and bleeding gums. A series of deep dental cleanings, an improved home care regimen, and a commitment to regular maintenance may be all that is required to prevent this stage of periodontal disease from progressing.
However, if left untreated, gingivitis can escalate into periodontitis. When periodontal disease progresses to a more advanced stage, there is usually clinical and radiographic evidence of damage to the bone and soft tissues supporting the teeth. Periodontal treatment in this phase is designed to halt the progression of the disease and to restore tooth support as much as possible. We can help diagnose periodontal disease and, if necessary, help create and implement a treatment plan.
Extractions
Sometimes, it is necessary to extract a tooth. This can happen for a variety of reasons. Extractions are commonly performed in cases where a deciduous “baby” tooth is reluctant to fall out, a severely broken down and non-restorable tooth is present, or a “wisdom tooth” is poorly positioned and unable to fully erupt into place. To reduce anxiety and ensure patient comfort, we provide all the necessary information for your procedure, the post-surgical instructions, and any restorative follow-up care.
