Our Services
At Gentle Dental Care, we offer a wide range of services, including:
Routine Teeth Cleanings: During a routine cleaning, our hygienist uses a small, metal scaler to scrape off tartar above and below the gum line, and/or an ultrasonic vibrating device to loosen plaque and tartar. This helps to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Fillings: If you have a cavity, our specialists will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill it with a material that matches the color of your tooth.
Crowns and Bridges: If you have a tooth that is badly decayed or damaged, our specialists may recommend a crown or bridge. A crown is a cap that is placed over the tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. A bridge is used to replace missing teeth by attaching artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth.
Root Canals: If you have an infected pulp in your tooth, our specialists will perform a root canal to remove the infected pulp and save the tooth.
Teeth Whitening: If you want to brighten your smile, we offer teeth whitening services. We use a safe and effective bleaching agent to remove stains and discoloration from your teeth.
Dental Implants: If you have missing teeth, our specialists may recommend dental implants. A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor.
Invisalign: If you want to straighten your teeth without traditional braces, we offer Invisalign. Invisalign is a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth.
Oral Surgery: If you need oral surgery, our specialists are here to help. We perform a variety of oral surgery procedures, including wisdom tooth extractions, bone grafting, and jaw surgery.
Pediatric Dentistry: We offer pediatric dentistry services for children of all ages. Our specialists are trained to provide compassionate, gentle dental care for kids.
Cosmetic Dentistry: If you want to improve the appearance of your smile, we offer cosmetic dentistry services. We offer veneers, teeth whitening, and other services to help you achieve the smile of your dreams.
