Family Dentistry
Regular cleanings are a must for a healthy smile. Cleanings are recommended every 6 months and more frequently for our patients with gum disease. At each visit, a complete check of the gums, teeth, and oral health will be done and any recommendations for improvement will be reviewed and given in writing. As a courtesy, our office will remind you when your regular cleanings and exams are due.

Emergency Dental Care
Patients will be seen as soon as possible for emergency dental care including tooth aches, broken teeth, sports injuries, or jaw pain. Many times, the emergency visit will be scheduled the same day the patient calls to schedule the appointment. Every effort will be made to keep our patients comfortable.

Bad Breath Advice & Treatment

Tooth Whitening
Tooth discoloration is caused by aging, trauma, tetracycline, excessive fluoride, and nerve degeneration. Consumption of coffee, teas, colas, and tobacco also causes teeth to darken. Tooth whitening lightens discoloration and removes stains from unrestored teeth. Take-Home tooth whitening uses a custom-fitted tray that is
worn over your teeth. The custom tray is made by taking an impression of your teeth and gives optimum results. The tooth whitening gel is placed in these custom trays and fitted over the teeth.

Denture Fittings
Dentures replace missing teeth and can improve our appearance dramatically! Partial dentures can fill in gaps in teeth and full dentures can replace all of the teeth. An impression is made of the patient’s mouth and sent to a lab in a series of steps. The finished product creates the appearance of a full set of beautiful teeth. We can also utilize different techniques to minimize excessive movement by creating “snaps” on the appliances or relining existing dentures to make them feel more snug.

Dental Implants
Implants are titanium posts or frames that act as artificial tooth roots for support of prostheses. Replacement teeth such as crown, bridge, or denture are placed onto the implant.

Bonding
A smile can be dulled by stained, chipped, cracked, or misaligned teeth, but bonding can quickly and comfortably restore your smile’s natural beauty. During the procedure, a thin coating of plastic or resin is painted over the damaged teeth. The life span of the bonded tooth is shorter than that of porcelain. To find out if bonding is the right option for you, please contact Dr. Becker today.

Veneers
An excellent alternative to crowns, veneers can perfect your smile by masking stains, hiding chips, correcting misalignment, and creating uniformity. Veneers, which are made of thin, customized porcelain materials designed to slide over the teeth, look incredibly natural, are long lasting, and are relatively easy to apply. Please contact us today to find out more about veneers.

Crowns
When a tooth is fractured, cracked, severely decayed, or has a large old filling, a crown is placed to strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure.

Bridges
One or more teeth missing teeth can greatly change a person's smile. A bridge is a replacement of the missing teeth, anchored by crown(s) placed on both sides of the space. This can improve the patient's appearance and prevent the remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
