Many children (and sometimes adults) struggle to clean the deeper grooves in their teeth, especially towards the back of the mouth. Sealants, a thin transparent coating, are used fill these grooves and prevent food or debris from getting trapped there, which can lead to tooth decay.

Missing multiple teeth can be traumatic, but is a natural part of aging for many. The good news is that your caring dentists in Mitchell and Kimball offer both full and partial dentures. Full dentures are used when all teeth are missing on the top or bottom of your mouth, while partials replace only a few missing teeth. Both are natural-looking and restore the functionality of your smile.

Unfortunately there are times when conservative dentistry cannot save your tooth due to severe decay or trauma. In these instances, we may need to extract the tooth. This is performed by numbing and preparing the surrounding area, removing the tooth, and keeping the area clean. After an extraction, we can replace the tooth with a bridge, implant, or partial.

Occasionally a tooth may become cracked or broken and require repair. A crown can be custom-made to repair your tooth and make it look like new. If your tooth is missing, a bridge consisting of a crown is anchored between two teeth, replacing the absent tooth. Both procedures use digital impressions to create a custom restoration that suits your smile.

If you have missing teeth, you'll want to replace it as soon as possible with dental implants. Implants are synthetic posts placed into the jaw to replicate a natural tooth root. The post is topped with a custom-made crown to restore your smile’s function and look.

Veneers are thin shells designed to cover your teeth’s imperfections and leave you with a beautiful, straight, and white smile. Veneers are bonded to your teeth and can cover over chips and cracks. Made of porcelain, they look and function like real teeth. Plus, they can be cared for in the same way as your natural teeth too.

There are times when decay has advanced to the inside of your tooth and, if left untreated, could lead to complications. Root canals remove the decay on the inside of your tooth (pulp), clean the infected area, and seal it. This treatment can save your tooth and, thanks to modern technology, is not very painful.
