Geriatric Dentistry
We provide dental care to older adults which involves diagnosis, prevention, management and treatment of problems associated with age related diseases. Since older patients with cognitive limitations are easily overwhelmed, our team is careful to communicate using short, simple sentences that relax and comfort the patient and ease the treatment process.
Tooth Replacement
Not many years ago, losing a tooth left you with few options for replacement. While permanent teeth should provide a lifetime of function, it doesn't always end up that way. They may be lost from an accident, decay, gum disease or a genetic condition. Regardless of the way a tooth is lost, it can negatively impact the alignment of your teeth over time and cause a number of problems down the road if it isn’t replaced. A missing tooth or teeth can also affect your speech, ability to chew your food, the integrity of your jawbone, and cause the slow shifting of your teeth into some of the empty spaces. There are a number of excellent options available to replace your missing tooth or teeth to help restore your beautiful smile, including
- Dental implants: Dental implants are artificial tooth roots used to support a restoration for a missing tooth or teeth, helping to stop or prevent jaw bone loss. By replacing missing tooth roots, dental implants provide people with the strength and stability required to eat all the foods they love, without struggling to chew. Our innovative technology makes your entire implant treatment digital which leads to highly accurate, quick and safe results to give you a lifetime of healthy smiles
- Full Mouth Rehabilitation
- Crown and Bridges
- Complete and Partial Dentures
Each option has its share of pros and cons, which we can help you weigh based on your specific needs and budget. At Croft Dental, our team of highly trained and dedicated professionals can help guide you towards the best solution for your missing teeth.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic Dentistry is a way to invest in yourself by investing in your smile. Smile enhancement can have dramatic results on your overall appearance; even the smallest step can boost your confidence, self-esteem, and make you want to smile more. With modern advances in dentistry, cosmetic procedures can range from a basic color correction to replacing missing teeth, and everything in between.
Cosmetic dental treatments can:
- Brighten stained or discolored teeth
- Repair cracks or fractures
- Fill gaps between teeth
- Correct overcrowding
- Reshape teeth
- Replace missing teeth
- Replace old metallic restorations, such as fillings and crowns
We pride ourselves for being brilliant at using a blend of various cosmetic dental procedures to design and transform your smile that feels and looks natural and youthful.
Pain Management
Whether it's sharp and sudden or dull and constant, tooth pain is hard to ignore. Dental (tooth) infection, decay, injury, or cracked/fractured tooth are the most common causes of dental pain. The management for this includes:
Root Canal Treatment
Toothache occurs from inflammation of the central portion of the tooth called pulp. The pulp contains nerve endings that are very sensitive to pain. Inflammation to the pulp or pulpitis may be caused by dental cavities, trauma, and infection. A root canal treatment is performed in order to remove the infected part of the pulp, and cover the gap. This protects the natural tooth and relieves you from symptoms such as tooth pain, tooth sensitivity, facial swelling, and inflammation.
Root canal treatment often conjures up a frightening picture in your mind, of pain, sharp instruments and multiple visits to the dentist. However, with recent advances in dentistry, root canal treatment is not only painless, but also in most cases, can be done in one sitting. Our specialists at Croft Dental, along with our entire dental team, work hard to provide you with a pleasant, comfortable experience each time you visit our office.
Extractions
While our goal is to help you maintain your teeth for a lifetime, sometimes teeth need to be removed. Wisdom teeth, extra teeth, or very crowded teeth present situations that may mean treatment involving removal. In some cases, severely decayed or cracked teeth, or those missing large amounts of supporting bone leave extraction as the only viable option. Regardless of your dental needs, your comfort is always our number one priority. We'll discuss your unique situation and determine the best way to help you receive the treatment you need with the safest and least invasive care possible.
Orthodontic Treatments
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that specializes in treating patients with improper positioning of teeth (mal-alignment) with the help of braces or aligners. It helps straighten the teeth or move them into a better position hence improving their appearance and the way the teeth bite together, while also making them easier to clean. Orthodontic treatment can be done at any age.
Types of braces we offer:
- Invisalign (invisible braces)
- Metallic (traditional) braces
- Ceramic (tooth colored) braces
Our Orthodontist will help you decide which braces are best suited for you.
Pediatric Dentistry
When it comes to dental care and children, it can be important to start as early as possible. There are numerous benefits to pediatric dentistry which include:
- Prevention of dental complications - From the moment your child’s first tooth erupts, they are susceptible to dental decay, bacteria, and infections. Starting pediatric dental care early allows us to closely monitor their oral health and treat any problems before they become a big deal.
- Teaching the importance of our oral health - When you start kids early with professional dental care, it can help teach them the importance of properly caring for our smiles and how exactly to accomplish that.
Our specialists believe that a trip to the dentist should be fun, lighthearted, and not something to fear. The way your child is exposed to dentistry lays the groundwork for how they view dental care and dental visits for the rest of their lives.
Cleaning and Prevention
Preventive dentistry is dental care that helps maintain good oral health. It's a combination of regular dental check-ups along with developing good habits like brushing and flossing which help prevent minor issues from becoming major procedures.
At Croft Dental, we provide tailored preventive care to protect your teeth and help you enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles. Our dental team conducts thorough exams, cleanings, and other important services to keep your teeth, gums, and oral health in good shape.
