Along with your at-home dental care routine, we recommend professional dental care at least twice a year for most of our patients. Those with chronic oral conditions such as cavities, infections or even gum disease may need to schedule more frequent visits. During your routine professional visits, your dentist can thoroughly examine your gums, teeth and overall oral health, ensuring that no problems are forming. A professional dental cleaning will also be provided, ensuring that every corner of your mouth is clean, even those areas you miss. Oral cancer screenings are also recommended in an attempt for early diagnosis and treatment as it can greatly increase survival rate.

Crowns are used to cover a tooth that has been repaired through a root canal, has cracked or has a large filling. Crowns offer extra protection to the damaged tooth. They can be made of a range of materials, but porcelain is the most popular because it blends in seamlessly with other teeth.

A filling is performed when a cavity has caused decay in the tooth that must be removed by your dentist. When this decay is removed, there must be something placed in the tooth to give it stability and prevent further decay in the area. This is where fillings come in – fillings are used to stabilize the tooth and fill in areas that have been damaged by tooth decay. If you do not get a filling, your tooth may be left exposed and succumb to fractures, chips, and decay that could lead to infection. At Sixth Avenue Dental, we practice preventative dentistry in order to save patients from the damage that tooth decay causes. However, if you do experience the effects of decay, then you can get it removed with no problem. Fillings are a common procedure, and you can go home knowing that your tooth is healthy and stable once again.

Cosmetic bonding is a procedure that uses composite resin, the same tooth-colored material used for fillings, to alter the shape or color of a tooth.
Bonding can help close gaps between teeth, repair chipped teeth or reshape teeth that are too small or irregularly shaped. The procedure can also cover deep-set stains, cracks or pits on tooth surfaces.
Bonding is a simple procedure that can be performed in just one visit to your dentist.

Bridges Missing teeth can diminish the appearance of a smile and can cause other teeth to drift out of place. Dental bridges are a commonly used solution for missing teeth. Dental bridges containing replacement teeth are anchored into place by healthy teeth on either side of the bridge. Bridges cannot be removed, but need to be checked for wear during regular dental checkups.

Many of our patients suffer from bruxism, a condition that causes the jaw to become overactive (usually at night). Patients grind their teeth, causing friction that can damage the teeth, soft tissues, and the jaw. Night guards are thin plastic sheaths that fit over the top arch and act as a barrier between the teeth to reduce friction caused by bruxism.
