Regular dental checkups and teeth cleanings are the best way to care for your family’s dental health. Regular dental checkups can detect small problems before they become major problems.
Fillings are a way to restore and repair a tooth that has been damaged by a cavity. Fillings stop the spread of the decay and return the normal shape and function of the tooth. Dr. Bures features various filling options, including tooth colored fillings to help maintain the appearance of healthy teeth.
Dental bridges are custom fabricated and can often take the place of a surgical replacement (also known as a dental implant).
A root canal is usually needed when the nerve of a tooth is infected or inflamed, which can result from large cavities or injury. During a root canal procedure, the inflamed or infected area inside a tooth is removed and replaced with permanent materials.
Irreparable, damaged, or infected teeth are some of the reasons for extracting a tooth. However, sometimes a tooth needs to be pulled for orthodontic or cosmetic reasons.
Periodontitis is the result of untreated gingivitis. This disease causes the gums to retract away from the teeth and form pockets that can become infected. This can lead to bone loss and eventual tooth loss. With regular checkups, professional teeth cleanings, and improved home care, periodontal disease can be avoided all together.
