We Can Fix Your Dental Issues
Trouble with a tooth, such as a cavity, tooth wear, or a cracked or broken tooth? Gentle-touch restorative work is your answer.
Our procedures restore not only the function of your mouth but also your ability to truly enjoy life without mouth pain! With a variety of options available, you’ll find the perfect solution to get your smile and quality of life back on track.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
We prioritize natural-looking, aesthetic results for every patient. We use tooth-colored fillings made from safe composite and ceramic materials (BPA-free is a priority!) to repair cavities and minor enamel damage.
These fillings bond well to your teeth, offering strength and durability, with an all-important natural look. If you have old metal fillings, we can replace them with these beautiful, natural-looking alternatives to enhance your smile.
Crowns & Bridges
A dental crown simply fits over and around a damaged tooth. It’s designed to protect the remaining tooth structure while also restoring its original shape, appearance, and function.
With a crown, our team can repair a large cavity, replace portions of a broken tooth, and even improve the appearance of a misshapen tooth.
Crowns can also be used to form a bridge, which is one of the easiest and most effective ways to replace one or more missing teeth.
Full & Partial Dentures
Are missing teeth making your life a little less enjoyable every day? Are you ready to eat your favorite foods again and speak with clarity and confidence? Dr. Carlson would be delighted to build your custom-crafted dentures.
She can design a partial or complete denture to effectively replace any amount of tooth loss and provide both traditional removable and implant-retained prosthetic dental appliances. In the end, Dr. Carlson can help rebuild your smile by giving you a set of teeth that is natural-looking, comfortable, and will last for many, many years.
Treatment of Severe Tooth Wear
Are your teeth wearing down, chipping, or becoming sensitive? This may be caused by tooth clenching or grinding (bruxism), acid reflux, acidic foods and even certain medications. Studies show about 30% of people grind their teeth during the day, and many more grind their teeth at night.
Did you know that health professionals are seeing a correlation between tooth grinding and disordered sleep breathing? The most serious of those conditions is obstructive sleep apnea, which can impact your health by putting excess strain on your heart and brain!
Early-stage tooth wear can often be addressed with protective appliances, diet changes, and minor bonding. However, if the enamel is worn away and the softer dentin is exposed, more comprehensive treatment is typically needed. Advanced wear can also affect your bite, leading to muscle pain, TMJ issues, or misalignment.
Dr. Carlson offers personalized solutions to restore your smile and prevent further damage. There are many options that modern dentistry can provide to help you with your dental problems, and she feels that the key to a successful outcome is to create a treatment plan that is completely customized to your unique situation.
