Our Services

At Bellefonte Family Dentistry, we offer a wide range of dental services to meet the needs of the whole family. From routine cleanings and consultations to more complex procedures such as extractions and implants, we are here to provide the care you need.

Cleaning & Consultation

Regular dental cleanings and consultations are essential for maintaining good oral health. At Bellefonte Family Dentistry, we specialize in a variety of dental cleaning procedures, from scaling to whitening, so you can rest assured that yours will be performed by a skilled and experienced medical professional. During your consultation, we will also perform a thorough examination to identify any potential issues and develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Sedation Dentistry

We understand that many people experience anxiety or fear when it comes to dental visits. That's why we offer sedation dentistry to help our patients feel more relaxed and comfortable during their appointments. Our sedation options include nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation, so we can find the best option for you.

Restoration Dentistry

If you have missing or damaged teeth, we offer a variety of restoration options to help restore your smile. Our restoration services include extractions, implants, dentures, and denture implants.

Extractions & Implants

If you have a tooth that is beyond repair, we may recommend an extraction. We use the latest techniques to ensure a quick and comfortable extraction process. After the extraction, we may recommend an implant to replace the missing tooth. Implants are titanium screw-like devices that are placed in the bone to replace missing teeth. A crown is placed afterwards to replace the tooth individually without touching teeth next to it.

Dentures & Dental Implants

If you have lost teeth from decay, injury, or periodontal (gum) disease, dentures are a solution. Our dentures can be made of acrylic or a flexible nylon, to make them as comfortable as possible. We also offer denture implants, a revolutionary way to attach your current dentures that diminish the need for pastes or adhesives.

Endodontic Root Canals

Root canals are the removal of infected tissue from within a tooth. This area is then filled. At Bellefonte Family Dentistry, we use the latest techniques and technology to ensure a comfortable and successful root canal procedure.

Digital X-rays

Digital X-rays provide instantaneous radiographs (pictures) of your teeth with very little exposure to radiation. Our Cone Beam CT can provide a 3-Dimensional image of your jaws to help aid with implant and root canal treatments.

Composite Fillings & Bonding

Composite fillings and composite bonding are quick and affordable dental corrections that match your natural smile. We use the latest materials and techniques to ensure a natural-looking and long-lasting result.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligner trays to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. This treatment is a great option for patients who want to straighten their teeth without the use of traditional metal braces.

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and bridges are ways to permanently replace missing teeth. These dental applications are made of ceramic and match your existing teeth. They are a great option for patients who have missing teeth due to injury, decay, or other factors.

Veneers

Veneers are a thin layer of ceramic that are added to your teeth to brighten and straighten your teeth. They are a great option for patients who want to improve the appearance of their smile quickly and affordably.

TMJ (Jaw Pain Therapy)

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ-D) is a disorder involving the joint where your jaw connects to your skull. It can cause pain and compromised movement of the jaw joint and the surrounding muscles. We offer TMJ therapy to help alleviate pain and improve movement.

General Dentistry

We offer a large variety of dental procedures all under one roof. We will also get you to the correct specialist if we do not perform a procedure that you need. Your dental health is our top priority.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic Dentistry enables us to make dramatic changes to your smile. Advances in dental materials and techniques help us make your smile look the good as possible.

Periodontics

Gum disease can silently cause teeth mobility and loss. We offer a variety of gum treatments to help maintain your teeth as long as possible. We utilize a Sol Desktop Laser to treat certain gum-related issues.
