New Patient Exam
Every new patient who visits our office receives a thorough exam from Dr. Bell prior to treatment. Your initial exam will consist of a comprehensive evaluation of the existing conditions of your mouth, including periodontal charting, occlusal charting, oral cancer screening, TMJ preliminary evaluation, impressions for diagnostic models, and any necessary radiographs and intra-oral photos. Following your exam, Dr. Bell will recommend a course of treatment based on your esthetic or restorative needs.
Implants/Bridges
Replacing missing teeth can help you regain your self-confidence and allow you to lead a more active, full life. We offer several treatments for missing teeth, including dental bridges and dental implants. Dental bridges fill gaps in your smile with natural looking artificial teeth that are supported by porcelain dental crowns. For patients looking to permanently replace missing teeth, we offer dental implants as an alternative to removable dentures and bridges. Dental implants function like your natural teeth, and help to strengthen your bite and improve your speaking and chewing. Dental implants require little upkeep, and are designed to last for many years.
Dentures
We offer full and partial dentures for patients who are missing teeth as a result of decay, injury, or the natural aging process. Dentures essentially mimic the function of natural teeth, and help to stabilize the bite and improve speaking and chewing. Because a high-quality set of dentures requires skill and precision, Dr. Bell always takes the time to create beautiful dentures that fit comfortably and feel secure.
Teeth Cleaning / Periodontal Treatment
Our hygienists are trained to perform routine teeth cleanings (prophylaxis), and more advanced periodontal treatment, including deep pocket scaling and debridement. At our practice, we do our best to make sure our patients are comfortable at all times during their treatment. Our hygienists are known for their gentle touch, but we offer sedation with nitrous oxide for patients who are anxious about treatment.
Sealants
Sealants are a clear or shaded plastic material that is applied to the biting or chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and bicuspids), where decay occurs most often. The sealant acts as a barrier, protecting the decay prone areas of the back teeth from plaque and acid. Sealants can help patients avoid the type of damage that necessitates fillings or dental crowns, and the material can last for many years if properly maintained.
